A: Yes & No, we recommend that you fill the tank of the vehicle prior to return to avoid a re-fuel charge for our team to fill the vehicle. The re-fuel charge is slightly higher than the rate at the station, so if you can fill up prior to return to avoid a higher fee.

A: We only have a cancellation fee on our midsize and large van rentals. At the time of reservation we collect the reservation fee in full and will only return 50% of the reservation if no show or cancellation. We assign a specific vehicle to each and every one of our customers, so this ensures that the vehicle will be 100% ready for you at time of pickup. For other reservations please give us a 48hr cancellation notice.

A: No, all reservations need to be paid with a major credit card and have that credit on file for the reservation.
