The French equivalent "affréter" refers to the act of a tour operator, travel agent or individual who engages a vehicle for a specific time and price, whereas "fréter" refers to the act of an owner of a transportation company who grants the use of a vehicle for a specific time and price. The English verb "charter" is a broader term and is used in both contexts. 3, record 2, English, - charter

Les termes «affréter» et «prendre à fret» ont un sens restreint, c'est-à-dire du point de vue du locataire du véhicule. Il ne faut pas les confondre avec «fréter» qui signifie «donner en location». 4, record 2, French, - affr%C3%A9ter

La acción de “fletar” en español la efectúa tanto el que da en alquiler (propietario) como el que toma en alquiler (arrendatario). El verbo inglés “charter” cubre el mismo campo semántico. Sin embargo, el francés tiene dos verbos diferentes: “fréter” significa dar en alquiler (la realiza el propietario) mientras que “affréter” quiere decir tomar en alquiler (efectuada por el arrendatario). 4, record 2, Spanish, - fletar
