Rental Contract Agreement Terms and Conditions
1.Definitions. ‘Agreement’ means all terms and conditions found in this form, any addenda and any additional materials you sign or we provide at the time of rental. ‘You’ or ‘your’ means the person identified as the renter in this Agreement, any person signing this Agreement, any Authorized Driver and any person or organization to whom charges are billed by us at its or the renter’s direction. All persons referred to as ‘you’ or ‘your’ are jointly and severally bound by this Agreement. ‘We’, ‘our’ or ‘us’ means the business named elsewhere in this Agreement. ‘Authorized Driver’ means the renter and any additional driver listed by us on this Agreement, provided that each such person has a valid driver’s license and is at least age 21. Only Authorized Drivers are permitted to drive the Vehicle. ‘Vehicle’ means the automobile or truck identified in this Agreement and any vehicle we substitute for it, and all its tires, tools, accessories, equipment, keys and Vehicle documents. ‘Physical Damage’ means damage to, or loss of, the Vehicle caused by collision or upset; it does not include comprehensive damage, such as damage to, or loss of, the Vehicle due to theft, vandalism, act of nature, riot or civil disturbance, hail, flood or fire or other comprehensive loss not caused by collision or upset. ‘Loss of use’ means the loss of our ability to use the Vehicle for any reason due to damage to it, or loss of it, during this rental; loss of use is calculated by multiplying the number of days from the date the Vehicle is damaged or lost until it is replaced or repaired, times the daily rental rate.
2. Rental, Indemnity and Warranties. This is a contract for rental of the Vehicle. We may repossess the Vehicle at your expense without notice to you, if the Vehicle is abandoned or used in violation of law or this Agreement. You agree to indemnify us, defend us and hold us harmless from all claims, liability, costs and attorney fees we incur resulting from, or arising out of, this rental and your use of the Vehicle. We make no warranties, express, implied or apparent, regarding the Vehicle, no warranty of merchantability and no warranty that the Vehicle is fit for a particular purpose.
3. Condition and Return of Vehicle. You must return the Vehicle to our rental office or other location we specify, on the date and time specified in this Agreement, and in the same condition that you received it, except for ordinary wear. If the Vehicle is returned after closing hours, you remain responsible for the safety of, and any damage to, the Vehicle until we inspect it upon our next opening for business. Service to the Vehicle or replacement of parts or accessories during the rental must have our prior approval. You must report any low fluids immediately to us.
4.Responsibility for Damage or Loss; Reporting to Police. You are responsible for all damage to, or loss or theft of, the Vehicle, which includes the cost of repair, or the actual cash retail value of the Vehicle on the date of the loss if the Vehicle is not repairable or if we elect not to repair the Vehicle, plus loss of use, diminished value of the Vehicle caused by damage to it or repair of it, and our administrative expenses incurred processing the claim, whether or not you are at fault. You must report all accidents or incidents of theft and vandalism to us and the police as soon as you discover them.

6. Insurance. You are responsible for all damage or loss you cause to others. You agree to provide auto liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering you, us, and the Vehicle. Where State law requires us to provide auto liability insurance, or if you have no auto liability insurance, we provide auto liability insurance (the “Policy”) that is secondary to any other valid and collectible insurance whether primary, secondary, excess or contingent. The Policy provides bodily injury and property damage liability coverage with limits no higher than minimum levels prescribed by the financial responsibility laws of the State whose laws apply to the loss. You and we reject PIP, medical payments, no-fault and uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage, where permitted by law. Coverage is void if you violate the terms of this Agreement or if you fail to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by us, or our insurer. The Policy does not cover losses caused by drivers of the Vehicle who are not Authorized Drivers.
7. Charges. You will pay us, or the appropriate government authorities, on demand all charges due us under this Agreement, including: (a) time and mileage for the period you keep the Vehicle, or a mileage charge based on our experience if the odometer is tampered with; (b) optional products and services you purchased; (c) fuel, if you return the Vehicle with less fuel than when rented; (d) applicable taxes; (e) all parking, traffic and toll violations, citations, fines, penalties, forfeitures, court costs, towing and storage charges and other expenses involving the Vehicle assessed against us or the Vehicle; (f) all costs, including pre- and post-judgment attorney fees, we incur collecting payment from you or otherwise enforcing or defending our rights under this Agreement; (g) a 2% per month late payment fee, or the maximum amount allowed by law, on all amounts paid after payment is due; (h) $50, plus $5/mile for every mile between the renting location and the place where the Vehicle is returned, repossessed or abandoned, plus any additional recovery expenses we incur; (i) $50 or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, if you pay us with a check returned unpaid for any reason; and (j) a reasonable fee not to exceed $350 to clean the Vehicle if returned substantially less clean than when rented.
8. Security Deposit. We may use your security deposit to pay all rental charges owed to us under this Agreement. Your liability is not limited by the amount of the Security Deposit. You are responsible for the full amount of all rental charges incurred or damages caused in addition to the Security Deposit.
9. Your Property. You release us, our agents and employees from all claims for loss of, or damage to, your personal property or that of any other person, that we received, handled or stored, or that was left or carried in or on the Vehicle or in any service vehicle or in our offices, whether or not the loss or damage was caused by our negligence or was otherwise our responsibility.
10. Breach of Agreement. The acts listed in paragraph 5, above, are prohibited uses of the Vehicle and breaches of this Agreement. You waive all recourse against us for any criminal reports or prosecutions that we take against you that arise out of your breach of this Agreement.
11. Modifications. No term of this Agreement can be waived or modified except by a writing that we have signed. If you wish to extend the rental period, you must return the Vehicle to our rental office for inspection and written amendment by us of the due-in date. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us. All prior representations and agreements between you and us regarding this rental are void.
12. Waiver. A waiver by us of any breach of this Agreement is not a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement.
13. No Consequential, Special, or Punitive Damages as to Rocky Mountain Campervans. Unless prohibited by law, you release us from any liability for consequential, special or punitive damages in connection with this rental or the reservation of a vehicle.
14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable.
