When the total late fee reaches the additional day rate, you will be charged an additional day.

Deposits must be left when making the reservation or at the time of pick up of your vehicle. The amount of the deposit is based on the length of the rental and the destination. It is also dependent on the CDW deductible that the customer chooses. If he/she selects a higher deductible on the vehicle, a higher deposit will be taken, in addition to the amount of the rental.

Please check to make sure you are covered. If you’re not, we offer Collision Damage Waiver and other forms of insurance that will help protect you from any mishaps.
