Late drop-offs will be charged for (at normal rates, for the vehicle you rented), depending on, for how long, you, the CUSTOMER delay the drop off.
Booked Vehicles
The exact vehicle booked by you, the CUSTOMER (by reserving online, phoning us or by any other form) may not be available at the time you want it; there may be other alternatives you can choose from.
Insurance
Vehicle inspections are performed with the customer by a representative, before the vehicle leaves the rental lot. All damages must be marked down on the inspection sheet prior to leaving the lot. It’s the renter’s responsibility to ensure that they have thoroughly inspected the vehicle and all existing damages have been noted on the inspection form. Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) insurance is mandatory for all rentals – insurance costs are not included in the base rental rate. If the renter wants to use their own insurance, proof of insurance will be required.
