Daily Rental rates are based on a 24 hour “rental day” starting at the time of rental. The minimum charge is one day, plus mileage, if applicable. The renter will be charged for each hour and/or any part of an hour in excess of a rental day the renter keeps the vehicle, until the vehicle is returned, up to the applicable daily rate. Mileage charges, if applicable, will be the number of miles driven as determined by the odometer readings at the beginning and end of the rental The Rental Rate is subject to increase if you return car more than 24 hours before or 24 hours after the scheduled Return Time. Late returns beyond 30-minute grace period may be subject to extra hour and/or extra day charges, in addition to any other rental charges. If the renter fails to comply with the conditions applicable to the rate, including any geographic driving restrictions, a mileage charge, surcharge or other rates may apply.
The minimum age to rent a vehicle at most locations in the United States and Canada is 20 years of age. In Michigan, New York, and the province of Quebec, the minimum age for most vehicles is 18. Please refer to the Local Policies for specific information on driver ages at the location where you intend to rent and the applicable charge for drivers 20 to 24 years of age.

All authorized drivers must satisfy our age requirements, have a valid driver’s license, provide a physical street resident address, a major credit card or debit card in their own name, and fulfill our other qualifications, which vary by location. Employers and co-employees of renters renting on corporate rate plans, if properly licensed and meet our age requirements, are authorized to drive the Vehicle while acting within the scope of their employment duties. See our credit/debit card and driver’s license requirements below. The authorized driver and any additional authorized drivers may be subject to a driver record check (see below). No other persons are authorized to drive the vehicle.
All additional authorized drivers are required to qualify to drive the vehicle. To qualify, CFDrive Rentals requires all additional drivers, including spouses, to satisfy our minimum age requirements, have a valid driver’s license, and pay an additional driver fee.

CFDrive Rentals does not accept the small credit cards issued by credit card companies that fit on a key ring. In the event that a customer presents the key ring credit card at the time of rental, the rental location may ask you to present the standard size credit card or another form of payment.
The renter must refill the gas tank of the vehicle within a 10-mile radius of the rental return facility and present a fuel receipt to avoid a refueling charge unless the renter chooses the prepaid fuel option. If the renter chooses the prepaid fuel option, the renter will pay a specified charge as set forth in the rental agreement and have no obligation to return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel. The fuel charge is based on the estimated number of gallons needed to refill the tank multiplied by the rate per gallon charge specified on the rental agreement. CFDrive Rentals may use different methods of estimating the number of gallons needed to refill the tank and these methods of estimation necessarily rely on human judgment. Most CFDrive Rentals locations estimate the number of gallons needed to refill the gas tank either (1) by reading the fuel gauge to estimate the approximate amount of fuel needed to refill the tank (for example, one-half tank) and multiplying that number by the manufacturer’s specified fuel tank capacity, or (2) if the renter did not purchase any fuel during the rental, by reading the odometer to determine the amount of miles driven during the rental and dividing that number by the vehicle’s estimated fuel efficiency (miles per gallon) based on the manufacturer’s fuel efficiency specifications.
At all locations, driving is restricted to the continental United States and Canada. A Canadian resident is prohibited from driving a U.S. owned vehicle into Canada.
United States Citizens and U.S. Military Personnel: A renter or any additional authorized driver who is a citizen of the United States, must present at the time of rental:

A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and CFDrive Rentals customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
A foreign driver’s license* issued by the country of residence of the renter and additional drivers is required to be accompanied with a valid passport in the renter’s name. If the driver’s license in not in English, the renter and drivers will be required to present both the foreign issued driver’s license and a current International Driver’s Permit (“IDP”); or, if from Japan, a Japanese Translation Service. An IDP does not give a person the right to drive but provides a certified translation of the valid foreign driver’s license. An IDP can be obtained in the driver’s country of residence only with a valid driver’s license. An IDP (or certified translation) without the foreign issued driver’s license is not acceptable.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.

At the time of rental, CFDrive Rentals offers for purchase at the option of the renter, Loss and Damage Waiver (“LaDW”), and Personal Protection Plan (“PPP”). The cost, coverage, provider and availability vary by location, vehicle category and rate. Please refer to the location’s Terms & Conditions to determine whether LIS is required for travel into Canada and the cost of such coverage. The optional products offered by the rental company may duplicate coverage provided by the renter’s personal automobile insurance or insurance the renter may have through another source. Purchase of optional products is not required to rent the vehicle. Separate brochures available at the rental location summarize the optional products. We charge a per day fee for each day, or part of a day, the vehicle is rented for any optional products you select.
1. Loss and Damage Waiver (“LaDW”): If the renter purchases one of the optional LaDW plans, CFDrive Rentals will agree to waive the renter’s responsibility for loss or damage to the vehicle in full or in part (depending on the LaDW plan accepted). LaDW is not insurance or an insurance product.
LaDW does not apply if:
The renter uses the vehicle in violation of the rental agreement.
The renter fails to remove the keys, or close and lock all windows, doors and trunk, and the vehicle is stolen or vandalized.
The renter fails to notify us and the police immediately after the loss; and
The renter fails to pay the charges under the rental agreement; or
Other exceptions as allowed by the applicable state or provincial law.
Before deciding whether to purchase LaDW, the renter may wish to determine whether their own automobile insurance or credit card agreement provides coverage for rental vehicle damage or loss and determine the amount of the deductible under your own insurance coverage. The purchase of LaDW is not mandatory. LaDW is not insurance.
2. Personal Protection Plan (“PPP”): PPP includes Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and Personal Effects Insurance (PEI) and where offered must be purchased together. PPP is not offered in Canada.
PAI provides benefits to the renter and the renter’s passengers for accidental medical expenses, ambulance expenses and accidental death benefits during the rental. If this optional coverage is purchased by a renter, the renter is covered twenty-four hours a day for all accidents, whether the renter is actually in the rental vehicle or not at the time of the accident. Passengers in a CFDrive Rentals vehicle are only covered for accidents occurring while the passengers occupy the CFDrive Rentals vehicle.
PEI insures the personal effects of the renter and any member of the renter’s immediate family traveling with the renter up to the limits of liability provided. A member of a renter’s immediate family must permanently reside in the renter’s household. If this optional coverage is purchased by the renter, PEI covers only personal effects with which the renter or immediate family member are traveling. PEI pays covered claims even if the renter’s homeowner’s policy provides coverage.
THIS IS A SUMMARY ONLY AND IS SUBJECT TO SPECIFIC BENEFITS, EXCLUSIONS, LIMITATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS OF THE PERSONAL ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL EFFECTS INSURANCE (WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION UPON REQUEST).
