Rental terms

Set by Pays To Ride Car Rentals.

Agreement

These terms apply when you book or rent a vehicle from Pays To Ride Car Rentals ("we", "us"). By booking, you agree to them. When you pick up the vehicle you will also sign a rental agreement. Our policies may vary by vehicle and rental, and the rental agreement you sign at pickup governs if it differs from this page.

Eligibility and driver's licence

To rent from us you must:

• Meet our minimum age requirement for the vehicle you book.

• Hold a valid driver's licence that is accepted for the full rental period.

• Pass our identity and licence verification.

We may refuse or cancel a rental if we cannot verify this information.

Booking and payment

Your booking is confirmed once we accept it and take the payment due. The price shown at checkout includes the rental charges, taxes and fees listed there. Additional charges may apply after the rental, as set out below. Payments are taken by card through our payment provider.

Security deposit

We may require a security deposit of . The deposit is refundable after the vehicle is returned and inspected, less any amounts you owe us under these terms or the rental agreement. Your bank may take some time to show the refund.

Cancellations and changes

If you need to cancel or change your booking, please contact us as early as you can. Any refund depends on the rental agreement and on when you contact us.

Pickup, return and late returns

Please pick up and return the vehicle at the agreed place and time, and bring your driver's licence. If you will be late, contact us as soon as possible. Late returns may be charged extra, as set out in the rental agreement.

Vehicle use and prohibited uses

Only the driver named on the rental agreement, and any additional drivers we approve, may drive the vehicle. You must not:

• Drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Use the vehicle for racing, towing, off-road driving or any illegal purpose.

• Carry more people or weight than the vehicle is designed for.

• Smoke in the vehicle or leave it unlocked and unattended.

• Take the vehicle outside the area allowed in the rental agreement.

Fuel, tolls, tickets and fines

Unless the rental agreement says otherwise, return the vehicle with the same fuel or charge level it had at pickup. You are responsible for tolls, parking and traffic tickets or fines during your rental. If we have to pay one, we may charge it to you, plus any admin fee set out in the rental agreement.

Damage, loss and accidents

Please report any accident, damage, theft or breakdown to us as soon as possible, and to the police where required. Take photos of any damage. You may be responsible for damage to or loss of the vehicle during your rental, as set out in the rental agreement.

Insurance

Insurance options and requirements are explained at booking and in the rental agreement. You are responsible for making sure you have the cover you need for your rental. Please read the terms of any cover you choose, including what it does not cover.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not responsible for loss of or damage to your belongings left in the vehicle, or for indirect losses caused by delays or vehicle unavailability. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have under the law that cannot be limited.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. The version on this page when you book applies to your booking.

Cancellation policy

Set by Pays To Ride Car Rentals.

Cancelation Policy

Cancellation & No-Show Policy

All cancellation deadlines are based on your confirmed pickup time in local Tampa, Florida time. Cancellation requests must be submitted in writing by text or email to Pays To Ride. The time we receive your request determines which cancellation terms apply.

Cancellations 48 Hours or More Before Pickup

Prepaid rental charges and the security deposit will be refunded. The $45 booking fee is nonrefundable. Refunds for insurance purchased through a third-party provider are subject to that provider’s cancellation terms.

Cancellations Less Than 48 Hours Before Pickup

Your entire security deposit will be forfeited. A cancellation fee equal to one day’s rental rate, excluding insurance and optional extras, will also apply. The $45 booking fee remains nonrefundable. These charges are cumulative. Any remaining prepaid rental charges and unused optional extras will be refunded.

No-Shows

If you fail to arrive or contact Pays To Ride within two hours after your confirmed pickup time, your reservation may be canceled as a no-show. Contacting us does not automatically extend your pickup time; any revised pickup arrangement requires our written approval.

No-shows result in forfeiture of the entire security deposit, a cancellation fee equal to one day’s rental rate, and retention of the $45 booking fee. Any remaining prepaid rental charges and unused optional extras will be refunded. Third-party insurance refunds remain subject to the provider’s terms.

Reservation Changes

Changes to pickup dates or times require written approval and are subject to availability. A change request does not cancel your reservation or pause the cancellation deadline.

Cancellations by Pays To Ride

If Pays To Ride cancels because we cannot provide a vehicle, we will refund all payments collected by Pays To Ride for that reservation, including the security deposit and booking fee. Insurance purchased directly from a third party must be addressed with that provider.

Refund Processing

Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method. Your financial institution determines when the funds become available.

Acknowledgment

By completing your booking, you acknowledge and accept this policy, including the cumulative charges for late cancellations and no-shows. This policy applies to reservations booked after it is disclosed and accepted, subject to applicable law.
