The buy-back program is a popular alternative to traditional car rentals for non-European residents planning long-term trips (typically 21 to 170 days) in Europe.

: In cases of damage, such as a broken window, Renault has been known to provide replacement vehicles to ensure travelers can continue their journey without delay.
: The price is all-inclusive. There are no extra charges for additional drivers, young drivers, or crossing borders within Europe.
