Rental Agreement:

1. GENERAL RENTAL REQUIREMENTS *

A. Rental Rates: Daily Rental rates are based on a 24-hour rental day starting at the time of rental. The minimum charge is one day, plus mileage, if applicable. The renter will be charged for each hour and/or any part of an hour in excess of a rental day the renter keeps the vehicle until the vehicle is returned, up to the applicable daily rate. Mileage charges, if applicable, will be the number of miles driven as determined by the odometer readings at the beginning and end of the rental. In addition to the daily rate, some locations will charge you a one-time “early return” fee of $15.00 if you return the vehicle more than 24 hours prior to the return date and time on the rental agreement; and, you will be charged a $10.99 per/day “late return” fee if you return the vehicle more than 24 hours after the return date and time on the rental agreement. If the renter fails to comply with the conditions applicable to the rate, including any geographic driving restrictions, a mileage charge, surcharge or other rates may apply

B. Driving Age: The minimum age to rent a vehicle at most locations in the United States and Canada is 21 years of age. Please refer to the Local Policies for specific information on driver ages at the location where you intend to rent and the applicable charge for drivers 21 to 24 years of age. An additional deposit may be required

C. Authorized Drivers: The Priority One vehicle may be driven only by an authorized driver. An authorized driver is the renter and any additional person who appears at the time of rental and signs the rental agreement. All authorized drivers must satisfy our age requirements, have a valid drivers license, and fulfill our other qualifications, which vary by location. Employers and co-employees of renters renting on corporate rate plans, if properly licensed and meet our age requirements, are authorized to drive the vehicle while acting within the scope of their employment duties. See our credit requirements and drivers license requirements below. The authorized driver and any additional authorized drivers may be subject to a driver record check (See below). No other persons are authorized to drive the vehicle.

D. Additional Authorized Drivers and Fees: All additional authorized drivers are required to qualify to drive the vehicle. To qualify, Priority One requires all additional drivers, including spouses, to satisfy our minimum age requirements, have a valid drivers license and pay an additional driver fee if applicable. However, the following additional drivers do not need to pay an additional driver fee or separately qualify as long as they meet our minimum age requirements and have a valid drivers license: (1) government renters on official orders, (2) corporate account customers on corporate rate plans, and (3) drivers/companions of physically impaired customers. The additional driver may also be subject to a driver record check and an underage drivers fee. (See below). Because the requirements vary by location, please refer to the Local Policies for specific information on additional driver fees charged at the location where you intend to rent.
E. Underage Driver's Fee: An authorized driver 21 to 24 years of age may be charged an Underage Drivers fee because of such driver's age in addition to the additional driver fee, if applicable.

F. Credit Qualifications/requirement: To qualify to rent the vehicle, the renter must present at the time of rental a major credit card or debit card (See Debit Card Usage below) in the renters own name with available credit. A hold will be placed on the renters credit card for or a minimum amount, as determined by the location where you intend to rent. The hold will be removed at the end of the rental when the final charges are settled. You will be notified as to this additional deposit at the time of booking, if it applies.
G. Debit Card Usage: A debit card may be used to book the reservation, however an additional deposit may be required due to the greater risk inherent in this form of payment. Please note, that debit cards used via PayPal may not require this deposit. You will be informed at the time of booking.

H. Paypal: Paypal accounts can be used for all prepaid charges, however an additional deposit will be required. You will receive a 2nd invoice for this additional fee, within 24 hours of booking.
I. Gasoline Policy: The renter must refill the gas tank of the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility and present a fuel receipt to avoid a refueling charge unless the renter chooses the prepaid fuel option. If the renter chooses the prepaid fuel option, the renter will pay a specified charge as set forth in the rental agreement and have no obligation to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel. There is no credit or refund given for any fuel in the tank at the end of the rental. If the renter does not choose the prepaid fuel option and does not return the vehicle with a full tank of gas, the renter will be required to pay a fuel charge to compensate Priority One for the cost and service of refueling the vehicle. The fuel charge is based on the estimated number of gallons needed to refill the tank multiplied by the rate per gallon charge specified in the rental agreement. Priority One locations may use different methods of estimating the number of gallons needed to refill the tank and these methods of estimation necessarily rely on human judgment. Most Priority One locations estimate the number of gallons needed to refill the gas tank either (1) by reading the fuel gauge to estimate the approximate amount of fuel needed to refill the tank (for example, one-half tank) and multiplying that number by the manufacturer's specified fuel tank capacity, or (2) if the renter did not purchase any fuel during the rental, by reading the odometer to determine the amount of miles driven during the rental and dividing that number by the vehicle's estimated average fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) based on the manufacturer's fuel efficiency specifications. When renting in Canada, miles and gallons shall be kilometers and liters. It is imperative that each renter put in gasoline with an octane rating of 91 or higher. Failure to do so will result in a $500 penalty, and liability for any and all damages to the vehicle arising from using the wrong grade of gasoline. We encourage all renters to keep gasoline receipts and they must be presented to us upon demand in order to avoid penalties and charges.

J. Geographic Limitations: Driving is restricted to the state of Florida.
K. Disabled Renters:
1. Available Driving Aids: Please contact us in advance if you require these. We do allow you to install your own on our vehicles, and we do allow a 3rd party designated by you to do this. Please note that you are totally and 100% liable for any damage incurred to the vehicle as a result of this.
2. Pick-up: We would also ask that you call us prior to your arrival so that we may pick you and your traveling companion up, if any, upon arrival at the airport.
3. Additional Authorized Drivers: If a traveling companion shall serve as the driver during the rental, please advise the Priority One representative at the time of rental and pick-up. There is no additional charge for an additional authorized driver for non-driving disabled renters. If the renter will require driving aids to operate a vehicle, please contact us. This will ensure availability of equipment and allow personnel to install such equipment prior to the rental. We would also ask that you prior to your arrival so that we may pick you and your traveling companion up, if any, upon arrival at the airport.. If a traveling companion shall serve as the driver during the rental, please advise the Priority One representative at the time of rental and pick-up.

L. Driver's Licenses: The renter or any additional authorized driver's wanting to drive the rental vehicle must present (at the beginning of the rental) a motor vehicle driver's license that is valid for the entire rental period. A valid motor vehicle drivers license means a drivers license that has not been suspended, expired, surrendered or revoked and includes an expiration date occurring after the end of the rental period. The following motor vehicle drivers licenses are generally acceptable in the U.S.
1. A valid motor vehicle driver's license issued by any state, territory or possession of the U.S.
2. A valid temporary driver's license issued by any state, territory or possession of the U.S.
3. A traffic citation issued by any state, territory or possession of the U.S., as a temporary license, valid for the entire rental period (the court date being the expiration date) accompanied with a second form of photo identification with signature (excluding the credit card used for rental).
4. A valid U.S. military identification card plus an expired driver's license for active duty U.S. military personnel in those states where active duty U.S. military can drive on an expired driver's license.
5. A valid driver's license issued by a province or territory of Canada.
6. A foreign drivers license* issued by the country of residence of the renter and additional drivers. If the drivers license in not in English, the renter and drivers will be required to present both the foreign issued drivers license and a current International Drivers Permit (IDP); or, if from Japan, a Japanese Translation Service. An IDP does not give a person the right to drive, but provides a certified translation of the valid foreign drivers license. An IDP can be obtained in the driver's country of residence only with a valid drivers license. An IDP (or certified translation) without the foreign issued drivers license is not acceptable.
*If the foreign issued drivers license is from a country where permanent or non-expiring drivers licenses are issued, the renter and any additional drivers will also be required to show their passport, visa or other current U.S. issued documentation at the beginning of the rental authorizing the renter or driver to be present in the USA at the time of rental.
