Terms of rental

RENTAL VEHICLE AGREEMENT RULES & TERMS Important Information for All Renters Thank you for renting with us. Please read the following rules and responsibilities carefully. These terms explain your responsibilities while the vehicle is in your possession and supplement the individual rental agreement completed at pickup. 1. Vehicle Condition All vehicles must be inspected before pickup. By accepting the vehicle, the renter acknowledges the opportunity to inspect its condition and should report any existing damage or concerns before driving. 2. Rental Period & Returns The vehicle must be returned at the agreed-upon date and time. Late returns may result in additional charges as permitted by the rental agreement and applicable law. For monthly rentals, at least one week's notice is required before returning the vehicle. 3. Geographic Restrictions The vehicle must remain within San Diego County and the stated boundaries; North Limit: Oceanside, California. East Limit: Alpine, California. Leaving the permitted area without authorization may constitute a breach of the rental agreement and may lead to termination, vehicle recovery, towing, storage, or other lawful charges. 4. Rental Payments & Security Deposit Rental payments must be made according to the agreed payment schedule. The security deposit is refundable subject to the vehicle's condition, compliance with the rental agreement, and payment of outstanding obligations. Lawful deductions may be made for documented damage, applicable fees, or other amounts owed under the agreement. If the cost of covered damage or other valid charges exceeds the deposit, the renter may be responsible for the remaining balance. 5. Damage & Financial Responsibility The renter may be held responsible, as provided by the rental agreement and applicable law, for: Interior or exterior damage occurring during the rental. Mechanical damage resulting from misuse, negligence, or failure to follow maintenance requirements. Tire, wheel, suspension, and undercarriage damage. Applicable towing, storage, and impound recovery costs. Lost keys and replacement costs. Any damage or incident must be reported promptly. Responsibility is subject to applicable insurance coverage and legal requirements. 6. Maintenance Responsibilities During the rental period, the renter must: Regularly check the engine oil level. Arrange required oil changes when due. Regularly check the engine coolant level. Immediately report warning lights, overheating, unusual noises, or other mechanical problems. Failure to follow these requirements may make the renter responsible for resulting damage, repairs, or engine failure to the extent permitted by the rental agreement and applicable law. Do not continue driving an overheating vehicle or one showing signs of serious mechanical trouble. 7. GPS Tracking & Vehicle Security Vehicles may be equipped with a GPS tracking device for vehicle security, theft prevention, location monitoring, and recovery in cases such as theft, impound, or suspected contract violations. The renter is informed that GPS tracking may be active during the rental. The renter must not tamper with, disable, or remove the tracking device. Interference with the device may constitute a breach of the rental agreement and may result in lawful recovery measures or other remedies. Tracking and any associated data use are subject to applicable privacy laws and the disclosures and consent requirements in the individual rental agreement. 8. Prohibited Uses The vehicle must not be used for: Racing, reckless driving, or other dangerous activities. Illegal activities. Rideshare or delivery services, including Uber or Lyft, unless expressly authorized. Subletting, renting out, lending, or allowing an unauthorized person to drive. Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any substance that impairs driving. Any use prohibited by the individual rental agreement or applicable law. 9. Insurance & Liability Renters must comply with applicable insurance requirements and the insurance provisions of their individual rental agreement. Renters should verify that any personal insurance policy actually covers the rental vehicle and the intended use. Responsibility for accidents, vehicle damage, theft, personal belongings, injuries, and third-party claims depends on the circumstances, applicable insurance, and California law. Nothing in these terms eliminates liability or protections that cannot legally be waived. 10. Contract Violations & Vehicle Recovery Nonpayment, unauthorized use, geographic restriction violations, tracker tampering, or other material breaches may result in termination of the rental agreement and vehicle recovery where legally permitted. The renter may be responsible for lawful, applicable recovery, towing, and storage expenses. 11. Lost Keys & Lockouts Lost keys, vehicle lockouts, and requests for assistance may result in service, locksmith, replacement-key, or callout charges. Applicable charges will be determined by the disclosed fee terms and the actual services or costs involved. 12. Governing Law The rental agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, subject to applicable federal and state requirements. PLEASE DRIVE RESPONSIBLY AND TAKE CARE OF THE VEHICLE.
