This is a contract for rental of the Vehicle. In addition to any rental charges stated in this Agreement, Our right (or the right of Our affiliate), to repair Your vehicle is consideration paid to Us for this rental. We may repossess the Vehicle at Your expense without notice to You, if the Vehicle is abandoned or used in violation of law or this Agreement. You agree to indemnify Us, defend Us and hold Us harmless from and against, all claims, liability, costs and attorneys' fees we incur resulting from, or arising out of, this Agreement or Your use of the Vehicle. We make no warranties, express, implied or apparent, regarding the Vehicle, no warranty of merchantability and no warranty that the Vehicle is fit for a particular purpose.
You must return the Vehicle to Our office or other location We specify, on the date and time specified in this Agreement, in the same condition that You received it, except for ordinary wear. If the Vehicle is returned after closing hours, You remain responsible for any damage to the Vehicle until We inspect it on reopening for business. Service to the Vehicle or replacement of parts or accessories during this rental must have Our prior approval.
You are responsible for all damage to, or loss or theft of, the Vehicle, including damage caused by weather, road conditions, and acts of nature, whether or not You are at fault. You are responsible for the cost of repair, or the actual cash retail value of the Vehicle, on the date of the loss if the Vehicle is stolen, not repairable, or if We elect not to repair the Vehicle. You are also responsible for Loss of Use, and Our administrative expenses incurred processing the claim. You are responsible for replacing missing equipment and Vehicle documents. You must check and maintain all fluid levels. You must report all accidents or incidents of theft and vandalism to Us and the police as soon as You discover them.
The following uses of the Vehicle are prohibited and constitute breaches of this Agreement. The Vehicle shall not be used: (a) by anyone who is not an Authorized Driver or not licensed to drive, or by anyone whose driving license is suspended; (b) by anyone under the influence of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs; (c) by anyone who obtained the Vehicle, or extended the rental period by giving Us false, fraudulent, or misleading information; (d) under any circumstances that could be properly charged as a crime other than a minor traffic violation; (e) to carry persons or property for hire; (f) to push or tow anything; (g) in any race or speed contest; (h) to teach anyone how to drive; (i) outside the United States or the geographic area described elsewhere in this Agreement; (j) on any unpaved surface; (k) when the odometer has been tampered with or disconnected; (l) when it is reasonable to expect You to know that further operation of the Vehicle would damage it; (m) where applicable, by anyone who lacks experience driving a vehicle equipped with manual transmission; and (n) to transport an animal.
You are responsible for all damage or loss You cause to others. You agree to provide auto liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering You, Us, and the Vehicle. Your insurance may cover all or only part of the financial liability for the Vehicle. You should check with Your insurance company to find out about Your coverage. Your insurance is primary. However, if You have no auto liability insurance in effect on the date of a loss, or if We are required by law to provide liability insurance, We provide auto liability insurance (the "Policy") that is secondary to any other valid and collectible insurance whether primary, secondary, excess, or contingent. The Policy provides bodily injury and property damage liability coverage with limits no higher than minimum levels prescribed by the State where 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. The Policy is void if You violate the terms of this Agreement or if You fail to cooperate in any loss investigation by Us or Our insurer. Giving the Vehicle to an unauthorized driver terminates Our liability insurance coverage, if any.
You will pay Us, or the appropriate government authorities, on demand, all charges due under this Agreement, including: (a) time and mileage for the period that You kept the Vehicle; (b) applicable taxes; (c) $50 or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, if You pay Us with a check returned unpaid for any reason; (d) $30 per day or the minimum amount permitted by law, whichever is greater, for each day You do not return the Vehicle by the Date Due In; (e) all parking and traffic fines, toll violations, penalties, citations, forfeitures, court costs, towing, storage, impound charges and other expenses involving the Vehicle assessed against Us or the Vehicle; if You fail to pay a parking, traffic or toll charge to the charging authority, You will pay Us all fees owed to the charging authority plus Our administrative fee of $50 for each such violation; (f) all expenses We incur recovering the Vehicle if it is not returned to the renting location; (g) all costs, including pre- and post-judgment attorneys' fees, We incur collecting payment from You or otherwise enforcing Our rights under this Agreement; (h) a 2% per month late fee on all charges due Us but not paid when due; (i) a cleaning fee of $150 if the Vehicle is returned substantially less clean than when rented or if it is determined that You or Your passengers smoked inside the Vehicle or transported animals inside the Vehicle; and (j) the cost to refuel the Vehicle plus a $10 refueling/inconvenience fee if You return the Vehicle with less fuel than when rented. You authorize us to process Your credit card for all charges, and by signing this Agreement, You are also signing all documents required to process Your credit card.
We may use Your deposit, if any, to pay amounts owed to Us under this Agreement.
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.
You waive all recourse against Us for criminal prosecutions We take against You for breach of this Agreement.
No term of this Agreement can be waived or modified except by a writing that We have signed. If You wish to extend the rental period, You must return the Vehicle to Our office for inspection and written amendment by Us of the Date Due In. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between You and Us. All prior representations and agreements between You and Us regarding the use of the Vehicle are void.
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 consequential, special, or punitive damages in connection with this transaction or the reservation of a vehicle. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable. This Agreement shall be governed and construed by the laws of the State of Florida without regarding to its conflicts and choice of law provisions.
In addition to the time, mileage, and taxes stated in this Agreement, You agree to pay the following charges in the amounts stated on Your Rental Agreement: (a) a Smoke Violation Fee if any evidence of smoking, smoke odor, or related residue is found inside the Vehicle upon return; (b) a Late Return Violation Fee for returning the Vehicle after the agreed-upon due date and time stated in this Agreement; (c) a Cleaning / Pet / Excessive Dirt Fee for excessive dirt, stains, pet hair or odor, trash, biohazard, or cleaning beyond normal use; (d) an Excess Mileage Fee, per mile, for each mile driven over the Miles Allowed stated in this Agreement; and (e) a Toll / Transponder / Toll-By-Plate Administrative Fee, per toll, invoice, or transaction, plus the actual tolls, toll-by-plate charges, transponder charges, citations, violations, and related fees.

Where permitted by law, You authorize Us to process Your card information in Your name for all Car Rental charges, including the full value of any Vehicle that is not returned to Us, all fines, towing, court costs, penalties, and administrative fees that We incur for parking, traffic, or other violations incurred during the rental term, and to apply any payments to the charges in whatever order We determine necessary
Your security deposit, if any, will be released or refunded within the timeframe stated on Your Rental Agreement after the Vehicle is returned and inspected, less any amounts owed to Us under this Agreement.
You must immediately notify JD Coastal Cars of any accident, damage, theft, citation, impound, towing, or police interaction involving the Vehicle. You must obtain a police or incident report when available and provide copies to Us.
Any extension of the rental period must be requested and approved by JD Coastal Cars in writing before the due-back date and time. Keeping the Vehicle without written approval may result in late charges, recovery and towing charges, and other applicable charges.
The valid and collectible liability insurance and personal injury protection insurance of any authorized rental or leasing driver is primary for the limits of liability and personal injury protection coverage required by ss. 324.021(7) and 627.736, Florida Statutes.
