Car Rental Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: [INSERT EFFECTIVE DATE]
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the rental and use of vehicles from P& Car Rentals LLC (“P& Car Rentals,” “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) by any person who rents, drives, or is otherwise authorized to use a vehicle rented from the Company (“Renter,” “you,” or “your”).
By signing a Rental Agreement, making a reservation, taking possession of a vehicle, or operating a vehicle rented from P& Car Rentals, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and the applicable Rental Agreement.
Important: Your individual Rental Agreement may contain additional rates, fees, restrictions, vehicle-specific requirements, and other terms. If a provision of the signed Rental Agreement conflicts with these Terms, the signed Rental Agreement will control to the extent permitted by applicable law.
1. Rental Agreement
Each rental is subject to:
These Terms and Conditions;
The individual Rental Agreement provided at the time of rental;
The vehicle inspection or condition report;
Applicable fees, taxes, surcharges, and optional products selected by the Renter; and
Applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
The Renter will receive or have access to a copy of the completed Rental Agreement.
2. Eligibility to Rent
To rent a vehicle from P& Car Rentals, the Renter must:
Meet the Company's minimum age requirement for the selected vehicle;
Present a valid driver's license acceptable to the Company;
Present valid government-issued identification when requested;
Provide a valid payment method accepted by the Company;
Satisfy applicable insurance, credit, verification, and rental requirements;
Provide accurate and complete information; and
Be legally permitted to operate the rented vehicle.
Additional age requirements, young-driver fees, vehicle restrictions, documentation requirements, or insurance requirements may apply.
P& Car Rentals reserves the right to refuse a rental when legally permitted if the Renter does not satisfy the Company's rental requirements.
3. Authorized Drivers
Only the following persons may operate a rented vehicle:
The primary Renter named in the Rental Agreement; and
Additional drivers properly authorized and recorded by P& Car Rentals.
An additional-driver fee may apply. The Renter is responsible for ensuring every authorized driver complies with these Terms and the Rental Agreement.
Allowing an unauthorized person to operate the vehicle may constitute a breach of the Rental Agreement and may result in additional charges, loss of optional protections, and liability for damage, loss, or other expenses to the extent permitted by law.
4. Identification & Verification
P& Car Rentals may verify the Renter's identity, driver's license, payment information, insurance information, and other information reasonably necessary to complete a rental transaction.
Additional documentation may be required when reasonably necessary to verify eligibility or comply with applicable law.
5. Payment & Charges
The Renter agrees to pay all amounts properly due under the Rental Agreement, including applicable:
Base rental charges;
Mileage and excess-mileage charges;
Taxes and government-imposed fees;
Optional products and services;
Additional-driver or young-driver fees;
Fuel or refueling charges;
Late-return charges;
Cleaning, smoking, vaping, or odor-removal charges;
Tolls and toll-administration charges;
Parking and traffic-related charges;
Damage or loss charges;
Recovery or towing expenses; and
Other charges disclosed in the Rental Agreement.
The Renter authorizes P& Car Rentals to charge the payment method provided for amounts properly due under the Rental Agreement, subject to applicable law.
6. Security Deposit / Authorization Hold
P& Car Rentals may require a security deposit or temporary authorization hold on the Renter's payment method.
The amount may vary depending on the vehicle, rental period, payment method, renter eligibility, and other applicable requirements.
A security deposit or authorization hold is not necessarily the final amount owed. After the vehicle is returned and the rental account is reviewed, properly owed amounts may be applied to the Renter's account.
Release times for authorization holds are controlled by the applicable bank, financial institution, or card issuer.
7. Rental Period & Extensions
The rental period begins at the time stated in the Rental Agreement or when the Renter takes possession of the vehicle, as applicable.
The vehicle must be returned on or before the date and time specified in the Rental Agreement unless P& Car Rentals approves an extension.
Extensions must be approved before the original return time. Continuing to possess the vehicle does not automatically extend the rental.
8. Late Returns
Vehicles returned after the agreed return time may be subject to additional rental charges, late fees, or other charges disclosed in the Rental Agreement.
If a vehicle is not returned when required, P& Car Rentals may take lawful steps to recover possession of the vehicle and may charge reasonable recovery costs permitted by law.
9. Early Returns
Returning a vehicle before the scheduled return date does not automatically entitle the Renter to a refund.
Refunds or adjustments will be handled according to the reservation terms and applicable Rental Agreement.
10. Cancellations & No-Shows
Cancellation and no-show policies may vary depending on the reservation, vehicle, promotional rate, payment method, and rental location.
Applicable cancellation fees, deposit forfeitures, or other charges will be disclosed during the reservation process or in the Rental Agreement.
11. Vehicle Inspection & Condition
The Renter agrees to inspect the vehicle before leaving the rental location and promptly report any existing damage, mechanical issue, warning light, or other condition that has not already been documented.
Renters are encouraged to photograph the vehicle at pickup. The vehicle is provided in the condition documented in the Rental Agreement or inspection report.
12. Vehicle Return Condition
The vehicle must be returned:
On time;
To the agreed return location;
With all keys, accessories, equipment, and documents;
In substantially the same condition as received, except for ordinary wear and tear; and
With the required fuel level.
The Renter may be responsible for reasonable costs resulting from damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, subject to applicable law and any applicable damage waiver or protection purchased.
13. Damage, Loss & Theft
The Renter may be responsible, to the extent permitted by law and subject to the Rental Agreement and any applicable protection purchased, for loss of or damage to the vehicle occurring during the rental period.
This may include damage or loss resulting from:
Collision or vandalism;
Theft;
Negligent or prohibited use;
Unauthorized drivers;
Misuse of the vehicle;
Flood or water damage;
Tire or wheel damage;
Interior damage;
Missing equipment;
Lost keys or key fobs;
Improper fueling; and
Towing or recovery.
14. Collision / Loss Damage Waiver
If P& Car Rentals offers a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), or similar optional protection, applicable fees, limitations, exclusions, and conditions will be separately disclosed.
A damage waiver is a contractual product and is not necessarily insurance. Unless specifically stated in writing, purchasing a waiver does not eliminate responsibility for excluded events, prohibited use, unauthorized drivers, negligence, intentional conduct, or other excluded circumstances.
15. Insurance
The Renter is responsible for complying with all applicable insurance requirements. P& Car Rentals may require acceptable proof of insurance before providing a vehicle.
Any optional insurance-related products will be subject to separately disclosed terms, limits, exclusions, and charges.

Reasonable administrative charges may also apply when permitted and properly disclosed under applicable law and the Rental Agreement.
19. Fuel
Unless otherwise stated in the Rental Agreement, the vehicle must be returned with approximately the same fuel level as at pickup.

A rented vehicle may not be abandoned. Unauthorized abandonment may result in towing, storage, recovery, transportation, and related charges permitted by law.

P& Car Rentals may refuse or terminate a rental when legally permitted if:
The Renter does not satisfy rental requirements;
Materially false or misleading information is provided;
The Rental Agreement is violated;
The vehicle is used for a prohibited purpose;
The vehicle is at risk of damage or unlawful use; or
Other circumstances legally permit termination or refusal.
P& Car Rentals will comply with applicable anti-discrimination and consumer-protection laws.
35. Fraudulent or Unauthorized Payments
P& Car Rentals may take lawful action when a payment is reversed, disputed, fraudulent, unauthorized, or otherwise invalid.
The Renter remains responsible for legitimate amounts properly due under the Rental Agreement, subject to applicable law.
