Answers for most frequent questions

  • CAR USAGE

    How are the fees calculated?

    Car rental fees are calculated according to the mileage rate available in the price list - the first 100km are calculated at the higher rate, and each additional kilometer over 100 - at the lower rate.

    If you do not have a Smart Week subscription, a starting fee is added to each rental.

    Can I go from Warsaw to another city?

    You can travel anywhere you want within Poland and to the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Rental termination is only possible within the PANEK Zone and in special parking lots. You can freely rent a car in Warsaw and return it in another zone for a fee according to the PRICE LIST.

    In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, termination of the rental can be done only in special parking lots.

    You can find all the zones HERE.

    Exceptions are cars from the Fun group - in their case the place of rental and return is the PANEK Zone in Warsaw.

    Can I drive vans all over Poland?

    You can drive vans all over Poland and end your rental in any PANEK zone.

    ATTENTION: due to their dimensions, cars of this group cannot be used to end rentals at airports.

    Can each User use all cars from the fleet?

    Cars in the PANEK application can be rented by any registered user.

    The car does not start

    If the car has a problem with starting, check that there is a well-filled questionnaire with damage report and cleanliness status in the app. The car may fail to start if you change the position of the transmission before the READY light is displayed or follow the instructions taped above the glove box in the car. If you have problems, get help from Customer Service.

    Where can't you end a car rental?

    You cannot terminate your rental in such places as:

    - underground parking,

    - private,

    - multi-level,

    - places with limited access for other users (barriers, closed parking lots, etc.).

    Remember that vans cannot terminate rental in parking lots at airports.

    How to properly end a car rental?

    To end the car rental, put the gearbox in the "P" position, press the POWER button without pressing the brake pedal and get out of the car. Check that the lights are off and the windows are closed. On the screen you will see the "I'm ending the rental" button. Click it while outside the car and wait for the car to close. Check its status by pulling the handle.

    Note: If the application displays an error and you can't finish the rental, contact Customer Service.

    What to do before you start driving?

    For safe travel, adjust the driver's seat, mirrors, steering wheel height, fasten your seat belt and turn on the weather-appropriate lights.

    Before starting the car, fill out a damage and cleanliness report on the interior and exterior of the car. Reliably filling out the report is important to maintain the actual condition of the vehicle.

    To start the car, turn the key in the ignition and turn on the engine. Some cars are started keyless - to do this, press the large button on the right side of the steering wheel with the word "START/STOP". Be sure that the automatic transmission is in the "P" position, which is parking.

    How do I open and close the car?

    You will open and close the car using the mobile application installed on your phone. Select the appropriate command "Rent" or "End rental" on your smartphone screen.

    If you will want to use the Stopover function, i.e. a break in the trip during the rental, then you also close and open the car using the mobile app.

    I see the car, but I can't rent it - what is the reason?

    The car is most likely reserved or used by another User or is disabled for technical reasons.

  • REGISTRATION AND ACTIVATION

    I did not receive a registration confirmation e-mail

    Check that you have entered the correct e-mail address and that the message has not gone to the "SPAM" folder on your mailbox. If you still can't confirm your registration, contact Customer Service.

    Can I register stationary?

    Yes, there is such an opportunity at selected PANEK outlet.

    I can't log in on the mobile application

    What is the difference between registration and activation?

    Make sure you have enough funds in your account, unblocked correspondence and Internet/MOTO transactions.

    What is a prepayment?

    A prepayment is a credit to your account in the service - something like a piggy bank. For the purchase of a prepayment you will receive one invoice and until the funds are exhausted you will not receive invoices for rides.

    You will get an extra bonus on top of the amount paid!

    You can. A list of countries and their designated areas available for the Panek Carsharing service is available HERE.

    Condition required to go abroad

  • CAR SPECIFICATION

    What is included in the car's equipment?

    PANEK cars come with extensive standard equipment. In addition to automatic transmission, the cars have, among other things, 2-zone automatic air conditioning, 7 airbags, a large color touchscreen display and a rearview camera. In addition, the car features a multifunction steering wheel, an audio media kit with 6 speakers, a Bluetooth system, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, power windows and an ISOFIX system.

    The car is not equipped with a spare wheel. In case of a flat tire, please contact the Hotline.

    Where can I find the keys and documents?

    Most PANEK cars do not have a key - the car is started by pressing the POWER or Start Engine button. Select cars and RETRO cars have a key and it is either permanently inserted into the ignition or in the glove box. There is also a manual there, which describes the operation of each of the car models available in the PANEK service.

    Automatic transmission

    The car has only gas and brake, which you operate only with your right foot (the left foot is not used while driving). When you shift into D- forward gear, the car will start rolling. The same is true for the R-reverse gear. Remember that the process of stopping and ending the rental is possible only when leaving the transmission in the "P" position.

    What is a hybrid?

    A hybrid drive is a combination of a traditional internal combustion engine and an electric motor. The car can be silent when starting and driving at low speeds. It does not emit exhaust fumes then, because it runs on an electric motor. It selects the driving mode itself and switches the electric and combustion engine on and off as needed. It recharges during braking and commuting when you are not operating the gas.

  • PARKING

    What are PANEK special parking lots and how to use them?

    These are parking lots marked on the app's map dedicated only for our vehicles, which you can use on special terms.

    We provide a number of additional special parking lots, the list and specifications of which can be found HERE

    When is the parking fee charged?

    The vehicle parking fee is charged when the engine is turned off.

    How do I lock the door without ending the rental?

    If the rented vehicle does not have a key in the rental window in the app, there is a slider to lock and unlock the door. If it has a key, use it.

    What is the difference between ending the rental and the Stopover function?

    A stopover is a break in your trip during the rental. Use this function if you want the car to wait for you.

    Performing a S topover is not allowed in parking lots with limited GSM and GPS network coverage (such as underground parking lots).

    An exception to this is S topover in underground garages and other places with limited GPS and GSM coverage, if the car is equipped with an ignition key.

    If you decide to end the rental during the Stopover function you can do so remotely without approaching the car.

    Where can you not end the rental?

    You can end your rental within the boundaries of the PANEK Zone and in special parking lots, excluding private parking lots and places with restricted access (barriers, underground parking lots, closed parking lots, etc.). Remember to park according to traffic regulations.

    It is important that the car after the end of your rental is available for other people who want to use it.

    Where can I end my rental?

    You can terminate your rental within the boundaries of the PANEK Zone, the city's paid parking zone and special parking lots, excluding private parking lots and places with restricted access (barriers, underground parking lots, closed parking lots, etc.). Remember to park in accordance with traffic regulations.

    It is important that the car, when your rental is over, is available to other people who want to use it.

    The cost of parking in the city's Paid Parking Zone (SPP)

    PANEK CarSharing cars automatically pay for their parking in the municipal Paid Parking Zone in (SPP) area of the PANEK zone.

    If you select the "Parking" function in a paid parking zone that is not in the PANEK zone area, it is your responsibility to pay for your parking.

    Where can I park my CarSharing car?

    Always park in a permitted place.

    If you want to end your rental, park your car in the PANEK zone or in a special parking lot. If you want to use the "Stopover" function, you can park your car in any permitted place that has GSM coverage (without it, you will not be able to use the app).

    *Delivery cars cannot be terminated in airport parking lots.

  • PAYMENTS

    Can I receive a summary invoice?

    Instead of a summary invoice, you can receive one invoice by choosing prepayment.

    You receive an invoice for the amount of the prepayment, and until the funds are used up, you will not receive invoices for the trips.

    Why is my account blocked?

    Your account has been blocked because you have insufficient funds to use the PANEK Carsharing service.

    If you have chosen to pay by Card - before the start of the rental or reservation and during the rental, we make a cyclic pre-authorization of PLN 20 on your Card. To use PANEK cars, credit your bank account with funds to use the service.

    -locked funds or exceeded the limit on the number or amount of transactions

    - the transaction was not confirmed by entering the 3DSecure code (in the browser, the field for entering the code is displayed in a "pop-up window", if the pop-up window does not appear, you need to unlock this option in the browser or add the card using the mobile application).
