Vehicle Rental Agreement
Version 1.1These are the standing terms. Your own details — name, address, the vehicle, your rental dates, the agreed rate and the security deposit — are added to this agreement when you book, and you sign the combined document before collecting the vehicle.
Terms & Conditions
1. Authorized Driver
Only the renter named in this agreement may operate the vehicle unless written approval is granted by the Lessor. Any additional authorized driver must be named on the rental schedule.
2. Fuel Policy
The vehicle takes 90 Octane fuel and must be refuelled with that grade only. It must be returned with the same fuel level it was issued with. Where it is returned below that level, the renter is required to top it up before the vehicle is accepted back. No refunds are provided for excess fuel.
3. Vehicle Condition
A full pre-inspection will be completed upon issue. The renter is fully responsible for all cosmetic, internal, and mechanical damage occurring during the rental period.
4. Prohibited Uses (STRICTLY ENFORCED)
The renter SHALL NOT use the vehicle for:
- Any criminal activity or transporting illegal items.
- Any action resulting in police investigation.
- Transporting passengers for hire without approval.

- Driving under the influence.

The Lessor is NOT liable for any criminal act committed by the renter or third parties.
5. Return Policy
The minimum rental period is 3 days. The vehicle must be returned at the same time it was collected, and to the return location named on the rental schedule. A 1-hour grace period applies. After that: JMD 1,000 per hour. Over 6 hours late: a full extra day is charged.
Collection and return locations are nominated by the renter and confirmed by the Lessor before the rental begins.
6. Insurance & Liability
