We cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with the above requirements.

4. Rental Terms

All vehicle rentals are subject to our Rental Agreement, which you will be required to sign before taking possession of a vehicle. The Rental Agreement contains important terms regarding your use of the vehicle, including but not limited to:

  • Authorized drivers
  • Prohibited uses of the vehicle
  • Fuel policies
  • Insurance and liability

In the event of any conflict between these Terms and the Rental Agreement, the terms of the Rental Agreement will prevail with respect to your rental of the vehicle.

5. Payments and Fees

You agree to pay all fees and charges associated with your use of our Services, including rental fees, security deposits, insurance fees, fuel charges, late return fees, and any other fees specified in your Rental Agreement or on our website.

We use third-party payment processors to process payments. By providing your payment information, you authorize us to charge the amount due to the payment method you provide. You represent and warrant that you have the legal right to use any payment method you provide.

All fees are non-refundable except as expressly provided in these Terms or as required by applicable law. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time, upon notice to you.

6. Cancellations and Modifications

Cancellation and modification policies vary depending on the type of reservation and rate plan. Please refer to your reservation confirmation for specific details regarding your booking.

In general, cancellations made at least 48 hours before the scheduled pickup time are eligible for a full refund. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the pickup time may be subject to a cancellation fee. No-shows may be charged the full reservation amount.
