Rental Terms

Rental Agreement Summary

This page summarizes the RentMeCT Master Vehicle Rental Agreement. The official signed agreement and rental addendum control the final terms for each rental.

Vehicle & Condition

Each rental vehicle is identified in the rental addendum by make, model, year, VIN, plate, and odometer. Renters accept the vehicle in good working order unless noted and must return it in the same condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

Rental Term

The rental begins and ends on the dates and times listed in the rental addendum. Same-day rentals may be allowed after identity and license approval. Late return may create extra charges and may be treated as unlawful retention.

Driver Qualifications

Renters must be at least 21 years old and have a valid, unexpired driver's license. Renters under 25 may be charged a young driver fee. Only approved drivers listed in the rental addendum may operate the vehicle.

Payment, Deposits & Mileage

Rentals include 200 miles per day. Extra mileage is $0.35 per mile unless unlimited mileage is purchased. Security deposits and post-rental charges may range from $200 to $2,000 depending on vehicle class, damage, cleaning, policy violations, or other contract issues.

Authorized Charges

Renters authorize charges for rental fees, excess mileage, tolls, tickets, cleaning, smoking, damage, loss of use, diminished value, towing, storage, recovery, repossession, fuel, administrative fees, attorneys' fees, and other rental-related costs.

Insurance

Every customer must be insured. Renters may bring their own valid auto insurance, review the third-party insurance options provided on this website, or opt for available Wheelbase insurance options during checkout. Unless expressly provided in writing, Rent Me CT does not provide primary insurance.

Pickup, Drop-Off & Fuel

Pickup and drop-off services may be offered only when approved by Rent Me CT. Local pickup or return transportation within 15 miles may carry a $30 fee each way. Vehicles must be returned with the same fuel level and the manufacturer-recommended fuel type; refueling may include actual fuel cost plus a $20 service fee.

Late Return & Recovery

If a vehicle is not returned within 4 hours of the scheduled return time without approval, the renter may be charged one additional rental day plus a $25 late fee. Vehicle reactivation, recovery, towing, repossession, storage, transportation, and administrative fees may also apply.

Damage Responsibility

Renters are responsible for all vehicle damage during the rental period regardless of fault, including physical damage, misuse-related mechanical damage, theft, vandalism, loss of use, diminished value, towing, storage, and administrative fees.

Accidents & Reporting

Renters must immediately notify Rent Me CT of any accident, collision, theft, or damage. Renters must cooperate with Rent Me CT and law enforcement and file a police report when required.

Cleaning & Smoking

Vehicles must be returned reasonably clean. Excess dirt, stains, trash, pet hair, strong odors, bodily fluids, sand, smoke residue, or abnormal cleaning needs may result in an $80 or higher cleaning fee. Smoking is strictly prohibited and may result in a $200 to $2,000 remediation fee.

Prohibited Uses

Vehicles may not be used by unauthorized drivers, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, for racing, towing, pushing, unauthorized rideshare or delivery work, illegal activity, or travel outside permitted geographic areas. Prohibited use is a material breach.

Tickets, Tolls & Violations

Renters are responsible for all tolls, traffic violations, parking citations, and related administrative fees incurred during the rental period. Rent Me CT may transfer liability or charge the renter directly.

GPS & Telematics

Vehicles may include GPS and telematics for theft prevention, recovery, speed monitoring, diagnostics, and driving behavior. Speeds over 90 mph are not permitted, and repeated excessive speed or reckless driving may lead to warnings, remote disabling where legally permitted and safe, and reactivation fees.

Legal Terms

The agreement is governed by Connecticut law. Disputes must be brought in Connecticut Superior Court, Judicial District of New Britain. Renters may be responsible for reasonable attorneys' fees, court costs, collection costs, and enforcement expenses.
