| RENTAL
POLICY
Requirements
/ Age Limit
All clients of Prestige Luxury Auto Rentals
must complete a rental application prior
to receiving a vehicle. Vehicles
are available to all drivers over the
age of 21 with clean driving records (no
major moving violations, DUI convictions,
or similar infractions).
Insurance
Due to the types of vehicles we rent and
the nature of the insurance industry,
all renters must carry their own liability
and physical damage policies and must
verify with their insurers that coverage
is provided for the vehicle being rented.
If
a renter does not have their own coverage,
we offer several other options to provide
coverage during a rental. Please inquire
for details on these options.
International
Renters
Vehicles are available to international
visitors with a valid passport and driver's
licence from their home country.
Additional
Drivers
Additional drivers may be listed as authorized
drivers. Each additional driver must complete
a rental application and will be subject
to the same age, licensing and driving-record
restrictions as the primary renter.
Delivery
/ Pick-up
Vehicle delivery and pick-up is available
to and from your door throughtout South
Florida. Please
note: All pick-up & delivery arrangements
must be confirmed at least 24 hours in
advance in order to guarantee on-time
service. Any changes to pick-up or delivery
times/locations with less than 24 hours
notice may incur an additional transportation
fee.
Return
Times
We are very flexible about vehicle return
times - i.e. we're not sticklers about
a 2 day rental being exactly 48 hours.
But once we have made a return appointment,
we need to stick to it. There will be
a 1-hour grace period with your scheduled
return time, after which you may be subject
to additional daily rental fees. (Our
dedicated delivery team works very hard
and very long hours 7 days a week, and
if one of them is waiting around for 2,
3, or 4+ hours because of a missed return
appointment, it throws off the entire
schedule.)
Damage
Deposit
All renters must leave a damage deposit
in the form of a credit card authorization
or refundable cashier's check. Any damage
found on the vehicle upon return will
be billed against this deposit. The amount
of this deposit will vary depending on
the vehicle being rented.
Cancellation
Policy
When you make a reservation, we may authorize
your credit card for 50% of the total
rental cost or $600 (whichever is greater).
If you cancel or reschedule less than
7 days before your rental, you will be
charged a cancellation fee of 50% of the
total rental cost or $600 (whichever is
greater) in addition to the above-mentioned
deposit. If you cancel or reschedule less
than 72 hours before your rental (or are
a no-show at the time of rental), you
will be charged a cancellation fee of
100% of the total rental cost. At our
sole discretion, cancellation fees may
be waived for special circumstances (severe
weather, etc.)
Payment
Methods
VISA, Mastercard, American Express and
Discover are the preferred method of payment
for rental fees and damage deposits. In
certain cases, cashier's checks or cash
may be accepted if pre-arranged. Personal
& business checks are not accepted.
Fuel
Surcharge
There is a fuel surcharge of $5.00 per
gallon if the vehicle is not returned
with the same amount of gas as when you
received it. However,
when you do gas up, all vehicles must
be refueled with Premium grade (93+ octane)
gasoline. There is a $350 fee for filling
up with a lesser grade. And yes, we'll
know.
Refunds
We do not offer refunds for vehicle rentals
or gift certificates. However, our goal
is total satisfaction for our renters,
so in certain situations we may offer
credit for additional rental days (i.e.
really miserable weather). This is solely
at our discretion.
In
the event of an unforseen mechanical failure
during or prior to a rental, we will make
every effort to repair or replace your
vehicle with a similar or better model
at no additional cost to you.
Driving
Area Restrictions
Vehicles
rented from our South Florida office may
not be driven outside the state of Florida
without prior written approval.
Prohibited
Uses
The vehicles may not be used:
by
anyone not licensed to drive or whose
Driver's License has been suspended or
restricted
for any illegal purpose or in connection
with any illegal activity
to carry persons or property for hire
to push or tow anything
to exceed any posted speed limits
in any speed test, speed contest, race,
rally, speed endurance contest, demonstration,
or on or near any racetrack or road course
(we're serious about this -- no insurance
company on earth will cover the car while
on the track, and that means we're both
on the hook for a LOT of money)
to teach anyone to drive
on any unpaved surface
In the event of a violation of these Prohibited
Uses, we reserve the right to remotely
disable and retrieve the vehicle.
Tickets
The renter is responsible for all parking,
traffic, speeding or other tickets or
violations issued while the vehicle is
being rented and must pay for any fees,
penalties, towing charges, or impound
costs.
Mileage
Vehicles driven over 100 miles per rental
day will be subject to an additional surcharge
of $2/mile on top of all other charges
in order to cover excess wear-and-tear.
