You will not operate the Vehicle: (a) while under the influence of any drug or alcohol; (b) if you obtained the Vehicle by giving us false, fraudulent or misleading information; (c) in furtherance of any illegal purpose or under any circumstance that would constitute a violation of law other than a minor traffic violation; (d) to carry a person other than you; (e) in any race, speed test or contest; (f) to carry dangerous or hazardous items or illegal materiel; (g) outside the United States, Canada or the geographic area indicated elsewhere in this Agreement; (h) on unpaved surfaces;*(i) when the Vehicle’s fluid levels are low, or it is otherwise reasonable to expect you to know that further operation would damage the Vehicle; or, (j) after an accident with the Vehicle unless and until you summon the police to the accident scene.
- Insurance. You are responsible for all damage or loss you cause to others. You agree to provide liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering you, us, and the Vehicle. You are required to purchase at least the minimum policy of insurance offered by us regardless of whether you have your own policy of insurance. Your own insurance is primary to any insurance that we may provide. If we are required by law to provide liability insurance, we will provide a liability insurance policy (the “Policy”) that is excess to any other available and collectible insurance whether primary, excess or contingent. The Policy will provide liability coverage with limits no higher than the minimum financial amounts required the law 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.
- 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 during that you keep the Vehicle, or a mileage charged based on our experience if the odometer is tampered with or disconnected; (b) charges for additional drivers; (c) optional products and services you purchased; (d) fuel, if you return the Vehicle with less fuel than when rented; (e) applicable taxes; (f) all parking, traffic and toll fines, penalties, citations, forfeitures, court costs, towing, storage and impound charges and other expenses involving the Vehicle assessed against us or the Vehicle, unless these expenses are our fault; (g) $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; (h) all costs, including pre- and post-judgment attorney fees, we incur collecting payment from you or otherwise enforcing our rights under this Agreement; (i) a 2% per month late payment fee, or the maximum amount allowed by law (if less than 2%), on all amounts past due; and (j) $50 or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, if you pay us with a check returned unpaid for any reason. Your rental charges are fully refundable up to 7 days before the rental. Cancellations made less than 7 days, but more than 48 hours, before the rental start time will be subject to a cancellation charge equal to 25% of the rental charge. Cancellations less than 48 hours are nonrefundable except that 75% of the rental charge may be applied to a future reservation. You assume the risk of adverse weather and cancellations due to adverse weather are subject to the above policy. However, between November 1 and March 1, reservations may be cancelled due to adverse weather at no charge if cancelled more than 48 hours before the rental or for $25 if cancelled less than 48 hours before the rental.
- Deposit. We may choose to collect a deposit and use your deposit to pay any amounts owed to us under this Agreement.
- 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.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us. All prior representations and agreements between you and us regarding this rental are void.
- Miscellaneous. 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. 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. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable.
