It is the renter’s responsibility to understand what they are initialing and signing on the rental agreement; this includes any additional charges that may pertain to the rental. Our rental agents are trained to explain the agreement prior to the customer initialing and signing, or can provide materials that explain the Benefits.

At the time of pick-up, you will be asked the expected return date and time. Only the renter is allowed to extend the rental agreement.

If you choose to extend the agreement, additional funds must be available on your credit or debit card. If additional funds are not available or a payment cannot be made, a request for extension will be denied and the vehicle must be returned on the original return date and time. In order to extend the rental period, cash renters must make an additional payment for deposit at the branch the vehicle was rented, prior to the original expected return date.

The rental rate quoted is valid for the original rental period. In the event you do need to extend your rental, please contact our branch office for your adjusted rental rate.

This charge can be applied to every vehicle that is returned late. Please be aware of the due date and time printed on your contract. This charge will vary based on the class of vehicle. The minimum charge is $10.00.
