WHAT DO I NEED TO RENT A CAR?                                    

You are required to read these requirements carefully before you call make a rental reservation otherwise we reserve the right to cancel your reservation if all of the three conditions are not met in full.

VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE.

You must be 21 years or older with a valid Driver’s license issued by any state of the United States of America.

We also accept Canadian Driver’s licenses for over 21 drivers. Canadians must also provide us with personal insurance that is recognized while driving our rental car on American territory.

Canadians cannot rent our rental cars from the US to drive into Canada.

We do NOT accept LEARNER’S PERMITS OR rent vehicles to take DRIVING TESTS.

MAJOR CREDIT CARD.

A VALID MAJOR CREDIT CARD for initial payment is required at the time of rental pick up. This is MANDATORY. We currently accept American Express, VISA, MasterCard or Discover credit Cards.

The credit card names must absolutely match with the renter’s driver’s license names. This is to prevent credit fraud on the part of the credit card holder.

We DO NOT ACCEPT STORE GIFT CARDS OR PREPAID DEBIT CARDS.

We DO NOT ACCEPT KEY RING CREDIT CARDS. If you present a key ring credit card at the time of rental, you will be asked to present the standard size credit card.

Please note: If you do NOT present a major credit card at the time of rental car pick up we will have to cancel your reservation. (No exception)

PROOF OF PERSONAL AUTO INSURANCE.

You have to provide us with verifiable proof of insurance at the time of picking up the vehicle. We encourage you to call your insurance company prior to making a reservation to make sure they will cover you from liabilities while driving the rental car.

We will decline to rent a car to you if your insurance is cancelled or revoked at the time of rental car pick up. If your pickup time is after hours you must fax to us a legible copy of your insurance document during business hours so that we can verify proof of coverage. Our Fax number is 253-859-2860

You cannot rent a car with your credentials above (License, credit card & insurance) for anyone else. Only the legal renter is authorized to drive or handle the rental car at all times.

If you don’t have personal insurance and you plan to rent a car on a long term (month to month) you can purchase BROADFORM type insurance (a.k.a Non Owner Liability Insurance) from Geico or other major insurance companies. You can call Geico for more information at 1-800-841-300

Note: Most major credit cards provide you with supplemental liability insurance to cover the rental car only when you use your credit card to pay for rental car usage. You will still need to provide us with your own personal insurance to cover you from other third party liabilities.

Summary:

You cannot make a reservation with fraudulently obtained (or borrowed) documents even if they meet the above criteria. If we detect fraud from the renter we will have to report it immediately to law enforcement authorities for investigation.
