Spain’s Chocolate Paradise

Spain’s Chocolate Paradise

For a great day out by rental car in Alicante, a visit to Spain’s Chocolate Paradise – the Valor Chocolate Factory – or in Spanish ‘Valor Museo del Chocolate’, in Villajoyosa, is one of the most enjoyable and yummy trips you can make and the factory tour is free.
When you think of fine chocolate your mind is inevitably drawn to the world’s chocolate centres in Belgium and Switzerland but in fact Spain’s Valor brand is of top quality and taste.

The factory has been family run since 1881 and it is quite remarkable that so few produce so much to be enjoyed by so many! Unsurprisingly this tour is one of the most popular on Spanish school calendars…!

Free Tours

It is advisable to look at tour times on Valor’s website before you start as free tours are conducted in several languages – so check out when tours are held in your language of choice. The English version is usually held at around 11am but you need to arrive early as the popular tour begins as soon as there are 50 people to take part.

The educational stuff covers the historic origins of the bean, mixing and cleaning, roasting and grinding and finally the meticulous processes of making and liquidising the chocolate and also packing and distribution. The free tour takes around 45 minutes to an hour and a video is included on the chocolate-making process from bean to bar.

Chocolate to Die For!

The first thing that hits you as you arrive is the wonderful aroma of warm chocolate. The factory complex is pristine clean, as you might expect, the staff are hospitable and helpful and the chocolate itself is to die for!

The chocolate crafted sculptures are fascinating – and there is an opportunity to taste samples and a chocolate shop where you can purchase tasty souvenirs and gifts to take home. One of the most popular products is Valor’s chocolate powder for making the best hot chocolate drink you have ever tasted, far superior to commercial products found elsewhere in Europe.

There are other more varied products to see and try to make your day out in Alicante even more enjoyable! Try the fabulous chocolate-coated almonds: Spain’s fine crop of almonds combine with Valor chocolate, resulting in a memorable melt-in-the-mouth experience…

Chocolate Heaven

This is a great ‘feel-good’ way to spend some time and if you have kids to entertain you couldn’t choose a better treat than a stroll around Chocolate Heaven!

It might be a good idea to visit the chocolate museum on a cool day as your purchases might otherwise melt in the fierce Spanish sun! Or pack a cool bag in your Drivalia car rental.

Getting There

Take the N-332 from Alicante to Villajoyosa – it will take around 35 – 40 minutes – or join the AP-7 and pay the toll to get there a little quicker. There is plenty of parking at the factory.

To contact the Valor Museo del Chocolate call 96 681 0451 for information or visit the Valor website for opening dates and times for this great day out in Alicante. The factory is found at Avda Pianista Gonzalo Soriano, 13, 03570 Villajoyosa around 35 minutes´ from the Drivalia car rental depot at Alicante Airport.

2. CAUCION / DEPOSITO O FIANZA

La fianza exacta aplicable a cada alquiler viene reflejada en el anverso, indicado como “Excess xxxx euros”.
El depósito sólo se aceptará mediante bloqueo o cobro contra una o dos tarjetas de crédito VISA o MASTERCARD que obligatoriamente deberán figurar a nombre del arrendatario.
En caso de que dicha cantidad depositada en fianza no cubra en su totalidad los posibles cargos adicionales que pudieran generarse por incumplimiento de alguna de las condiciones y/o exclusiones de las coberturas de accidente y robo, el arrendatario deberá abonar al arrendador la diferencia y autoriza al arrendador a efectuar cargos posteriores tal y como se menciona en el punto 4.1.
En caso de no producirse ningún cargo extra, el arrendador desbloqueará o devolverá, según proceda, dicho depósito al arrendatario una vez finalizado el contrato, en un plazo máximo de tres (3) días laborales.

3. DEVOLUCION DEL VEHICULO
El vehículo se devolverá en el lugar, fecha y hora estipulados en el contrato y en el mismo estado en que se entregó por el arrendador, con todos sus documentos, neumáticos, llaves, herramientas y accesorios. Cualquier alteración en las condiciones de devolución pactadas podrá repercutir en cargos adicionales para el arrendatario.
La duración del contrato de alquiler no podrá exceder en ningún caso más de 30 días.
En caso de finalización anticipada del contrato por decisión del arrendatario, este no tendrá derecho a la devolución de los días no disfrutados del alquiler.
Existe un margen de cortesía de 59 minutos de retraso en la devolución del vehículo con respecto a la hora pactada, por lo que si el mismo se devuelve fuera de ese margen el arrendatario abonará un importe extra correspondiente como mínimo a un día de alquiler. El importe final por este motivo, quedará supeditado al momento de la devolución del vehículo.

En caso de que la devolución del vehículo no se realizase en el lugar, fecha y hora estipulada en el contrato, esto facultaría a Drivalia Car Rental a cobrar el importe correspondiente a los días adicionales por el retraso además del pago de 35 euros en concepto de penalización por los perjuicios económicos ocasionados así como cualquier gasto derivado de la repatriación y/o recuperación del vehículo. Queda expresamente prohibido la devolución del vehículo en las terminales aeroportuarias de Salidas / Departures.
El incumplimiento de esta condición faculta al arrendador a hacerse cargo del vehículo sin previo aviso o requerirlo judicialmente.
Con el fin de garantizar la reciprocidad en el contrato, el arrendador se compromete a indemnizar al arrendatario el importe de 35 euros en concepto de entrega con retraso, en el supuesto de que no esté el vehículo disponible en la fecha y hora pactada de entrega en el presente contrato.

4. CARGOS POR ALQUILER Y FORMAS DE PAGO.

4.1 Cargos por alquiler
El arrendatario está de acuerdo en que Drivalia realice con posterioridad a la finalización del alquiler del vehículo, por medio de sistemas de pago electrónicos o de cualquier otro sistema de cobro, sin su autorización expresa, cargos por los siguientes conceptos:

Cargo por 'limpieza extra' por los gastos derivados de un servicio extra de limpieza como consecuencia del estado manifiestamente inadecuado del vehículo al momento de su devolución. Adicionalmente, se considerará mal estado del vehículo las manchas en tapicería incluidas aquellas producidas por el salitre y restos excesivos de arena, aplicándose un recargo por importe máximo de 180€.
Los cargos ocasionados por la pérdida de documentos y llaves del vehículo, y/o envío del juego de llaves del vehículo a la oficina correspondiente, en los casos de pérdida, rotura, devolución de las llaves del vehículo en una oficina distinta a la de devolución efectiva del vehículo, o cualquier otra situación por la que se paralice el vehículo por motivos achacables al arrendatario por un importe de hasta 250 €.
El importe de traslado del vehículo con una grúa cuando sea necesario, salvo por causas mecánicas excepto aquellas que sean por negligencia o se hayan derivado por un mal uso del vehículo por parte del arrendatario.
Los gastos, en su totalidad, derivados de la pérdida, el deterioro o los daños en llantas, embellecedores, neumáticos, (incluidos pinchazos y reventones), herramientas, lunas y cristales, retrovisores, embrague, accesorios, interior del vehículo así como los problemas derivados de un error en el tipo de combustible repostado.
Los gastos, en su totalidad, ocasionados por daños en los bajos de la carrocería incluidas las aletas inferiores/faldillas.
Los peajes, multas, sanciones y gastos judiciales motivados por infracciones de tráfico o de leyes, reglamentos u ordenanzas, (incluidos los cargos por congestión o limitación de tráfico rodado donde existieren,) incurridos por el cliente durante la duración del presente Contrato que hayan sido satisfechos por Drivalia.
En caso de recibir sanción o multa y salvo que el arrendatario haya contratado “Tarifa Ultimate” o la cobertura SCDW, éste acepta expresamente un cargo de 35 euros en concepto de gastos administrativos y de correos.
Los costes de reparación, en su totalidad, de los daños causados al vehículo en caso de accidente, cuando se produzca alguna de las siguientes circunstancias:
- Que el vehículo no fuera utilizado de acuerdo con las condiciones establecidas.
- Que el parte de accidente -bien en forma de 'Declaración Amistosa de Accidente' -DAA- o de 'Informe de Siniestro' no hubiera sido cumplimentado y remitido a Drivalia en el plazo señalado, o que no se ajustase a la realidad de los hechos producidos.
- Que los daños sean el resultado de un accidente debido a que el arrendatario no haya evaluado correctamente la altura del vehículo, tanto del techo como del lateral.
- Que no hubiera sido contratado la cobertura extra correspondiente, (véase el punto 5.4.).

El importe del cargo que se efectúe al arrendatario por los daños causados al vehículo, se calculará teniendo en cuenta la tasación realizada por gabinete pericial externo a Drivalia, o cuando no pueda realizarse a priori dicha cuantificación, se cargará la cuantía que resulte de una primera valoración realizada por personal cualificado de Drivalia según tarifa de precios publicada en la web www.drivalia.com y que están a disposición en la oficina de recogida del vehículo, cuya existencia e importes declara conocer el arrendatario, estando conforme con los mismos.
Todo lo anterior es de aplicación sin perjuicio de una posterior liquidación y ajuste, una vez obtenido un presupuesto de reparación realizado por un taller o una tasación realizada por un gabinete pericial, externo a Drivalia.
Drivalia se reserva así mismo la potestad de cobrar al arrendatario una indemnización por la pérdida de beneficios por la inmovilización del vehículo como consecuencia de los daños sufridos (paralización). Dicha indemnización será calculada sobre el número de días que sea necesario invertir en la reparación del vehículo, establecidos por perito externo a Drivalia o, una vez realizada la reparación, computando un día por cada ocho horas de trabajo invertidas por el taller reparador y utilizado como base de cuantificación la tarifa diaria de ocupación contratada.
En cualquier caso, la responsabilidad máxima del arrendatario será siempre el valor del vehículo en el mercado, según el precio máximo establecido en la guía Ganvam vigente en el momento del accidente.

Por motivos de seguridad, únicamente se aceptará el pago mediante tarjeta de crédito VISA o MASTERCARD. La tarjeta de crédito debe estar a nombre de la persona que figure como titular del contrato de alquiler.
De forma excepcional, únicamente se aceptará el pago mediante tarjeta de débito para los arrendamientos contratados con tarifa Ultimate.

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF HIRING: hereinafter the Contract, executed between DRIVALIA ESPAÑA S.L.U. holding CIF [Spanish Tax Code Number] B-54509971 and with registered office in Calle Arquitecto Urteaga 21, Local C 03730 JÁVEA (Alicante) - España hereinafter Drivalia (also known as the lessor) and the Lessee, whose identification data is included on the front page of the Contract, (hereinafter the lessee).

1. CONTRACT SUBJECT MATTER

Drivalia rents the car specified in the contract to the lessee which they sign. The car is in perfect working order, with all its documents, tyres, tools and accessories, as well as being in a good general external condition and clean.

The lessee agrees expressly but not exclusively to:

Maintain the good general condition of the vehicle with reasonable care without carrying out, at any time, any fraudulent handling of any external or internal components of the vehicle.
Always respect the Highway Code in force, as well as any legal provisions on traffic, transport and Road Safety.
Not allow the vehicle to be driven by any person who is not authorised to do so in the contract.
Not drive people or take goods if this explicitly or implicitly implies subletting the vehicle or non-compliance with the legal provisions regarding weight, height, quantity, volume and nature of the load.
Have the corresponding original, valid driving license held for at least one year. The lessee should be at least twenty-one years old. The rental company reserves the right to admission at all times.
Not drive the vehicle in impaired physical mobility caused by alcohol, drugs or narcotic substances or if fatigued or suffering from a debilitating illness.
Not drive the vehicle outside the national territory of Spain, unless the lessee gives prior notice and express authorisation in writing by the lessor.
Not to park, load and/or drive the vehicle on any type of maritime transport and/or railway.
Not use the vehicle to push or tow other vehicles, or participate in any kind of race or competition.
Not drive along unpaved roads or roads that are not designed to be driven on by city cars.
Not to take part in races or drive the vehicle on any type of track.

2. SECURITY / DEPOSIT OR DOWN PAYMENT

When signing the contract, the lessee will pay Drivalia the corresponding settlement price of the contract as well as an amount of up to €3.000, depending on the model of the car, as a security / deposit or down payment. Deposits will only be accepted by reservation or charge against one or two VISA or MASTERCARD credit cards that must be in the lessee's name. The deposit amount and excess applicable will be shown on the contract as "Excess XXXX €"

If the said deposited amount does not fully cover the possible additional charges that may arise from a breach of any of the conditions and/or accident or theft coverage exclusions, the lessee should pay the lessor the difference and authorise the lessor to make the subsequent charges as stated in point 4.1.

If no extra charges are made, the lessor will release or return, as appropriate, said deposit to the lessee once the contract has expired, within three (3) working days.

For those who purchase Drivalia direct Premium Coverage, S.C.D.W. (Super Collision Damage Waiver) or Ultimate Rate clause 2 will not apply and there will usually be no deposit required although we reserve the right to request a deposit at our sole discretion under any circumstances.

3. RETURNING THE VEHICLE

The vehicle will be returned to the place, on the date and at the time stipulated in the contract. It will be returned in the same condition in which it was handed over to the lessee, with all its documents, tyres, keys, tools and accessories. Any changes to the conditions of return agreed upon may result in the lessee paying extra charges.

The duration of the rental contract shall never exceed 30 days.

If the contract is terminated early, by decision of the lessee, they will not be entitled to a refund for the days of rental not used.

An extra 59 minutes is given for the return of the vehicle, in accordance to the hour agreed on. Therefore, if it is returned after this time, the lessee will pay the extra amount corresponding to a minimum of one day's rental. For this reason, the final amount will depend on the time the vehicle is returned.

If the lessee wishes to extend the rental time of their vehicle, they should give sufficient notice to the lessor, sign a new contract for the extra days at the time such decision is made and immediately pay the new amount to cover this new service. The lessor does not guarantee that said extension can be carried out.

If the vehicle is not returned to the place, at the hour and on the date stipulated in the contract, this will entitle Drivalia to charge the amount corresponding to the extra days for the delay. Furthermore, a penalty fee of €35 will be charged for the financial losses caused, as well as any cost resulting from the vehicles repatriation and/or recovery. It is expressly forbidden to return the vehicle to the airport Departure terminals.

A failure to comply with this condition entitles the lessor to take back the vehicle without notice or to claim it back by means of legal action.

4. RENTAL CHARGES & PAYMENT METHODS.

4.1 Rental charges

The lessee agrees to Drivalia carrying out charges, after the vehicle rental has terminated, via electronic payment systems or any other charging system and without express authorisation, for the following purposes:

a) An "extra cleaning" charge for the costs arising from an extra cleaning service as a consequence of the clearly inadequate state of the vehicle at the time of its return. Furthermore, the vehicle will be considered to be in a poor condition if there are upholstery stains, including those produced by salt residue and excessive amounts of sand, and a surcharge of up to €180 will be apply.

b) As a result of the loss of the vehicles documents and keys, and/or the delivery of the vehicles set of keys to the corresponding office, loss or breakage, returning the keys of the vehicle to a different office to which the vehicle was returned, or any other situation for which the vehicle is out of service, for reasons directly attributable to the lessee, a maximum of €250 will be charged.

c) The amount for towing the vehicle when necessary, unless this is due to mechanical reasons except for those due to negligence or which arise from the lessee misusing the vehicle.

d) 100% of the costs resulting from the loss or damage to the rims, hubcaps, tyres (including punctures), tools, windscreens and windows, rear view mirrors, clutch, accessories, the vehicle's interior, as well as problems resulting from filling up the tank with the wrong fuel.

e) 100% of the costs resulting from damages made to the lower part of the bodywork, including the lower wings/mud flaps.

f) The toll roads, fines, penalisations and legal costs arising from traffic offences or breaches of law, regulations or bylaws, (including congestion or road traffic limitation charges wherever they exist), incurred by the client during the period of this Contract, that have been paid for by Drivalia.

g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Drivalia reserves the right to charge the client an additional cost of €35 per file as handling and communication costs before the relevant authorities.

h) 100% of the costs for repairing any damages caused to the vehicle due to an accident, when one of the following circumstances occurs:

o That the vehicle was not used in compliance with the conditions established.

o That the accident report–whether as "Declaracion Amistosa de Accidente" (Mutual Declaration of Accident Report) or whether as a "Informe de Siniestro" (Wreck Report)- has not been completed and sent to Drivalia within the time specified, or it does not correspond to the actual events occurred.

o That the damages are a result of an accident where the lessee did not correctly judge the height and width of the vehicle.

o That the corresponding extra insurance coverage had not been subscribed, (see point 5.4.).

The amount charged to the lessee for the damages to the vehicle will be calculated taking in to consideration the valuation carried out by an expert independent of Drivalia. However, if said valuation cannot be made a priori, the amount resulting from the first assessment made by a qualified member of Drivalia staff will be charged, in accordance with the rates published on www.drivalia.es. The lessee acknowledges the existence of the aforesaid Annex I and costs and accepts them.

All of the above mentioned is to be applied notwithstanding a subsequent settlement, once an estimate for the repair has been received by a mechanic or a valuation made by an expert department independent of Drivalia.

Drivalia reserves the right to charge the lessee compensation for the loss of profits due to the vehicle being out of service as a result of the damages caused (parylisation). This compensation fee will be calculated based on the number of days needed to repair the vehicle, established by an expert department independent of Drivalia, or, once the repairs have been made, counting 8 hours of work done by the garage carrying out the repairs as one day and using the daily rates contracted as a basis for the valuation.

In any case, the lessees' maximum liability will always be the vehicle's market value, according to the maximum price established in the Ganvam (Spanish Association of Car Dealers) guide in force at the time of the accident.

4.2 Payment methods

Payment by VISA or MASTERCARD credit card is the only acceptable method. The card should bear the name of the rental contract holder.

The payment for the rental of the vehicle and for any different additional concepts will be made in the currency determined by the lessee, accepting multi-currency operations, subject to the conditions of the Bank Branch that handles the payment.
