If yours isn't here, call. It's faster than email and you'll get a straight answer.

Before you book

How old do I have to be?

21 with a valid driver's licence held for at least a year. Drivers aged 21 to 24 pay a $25 per day young driver fee, which shows up in the price breakdown automatically once you enter your date of birth.

What do I need to bring to pickup?

Your physical driver's licence — not a photo or a copy — and proof of auto insurance, unless you've bought one of our protection plans. You'll also need the card or cash for the security deposit.

Do I need my own insurance?

Either your own policy, or one of our protection plans at checkout. If you're using your own, bring your declarations page or insurance ID card and we'll check it covers rentals before you drive off. You can upload it with your booking to save time.

Our plans are damage waivers, not insurance policies. They limit what you owe us if the car is damaged. They don't cover your liability to other people, which is what your own policy is for.

Can someone else drive the car?

Yes, as long as they're named on the rental agreement, meet the same age and licence requirements, and are present at pickup. There's no extra charge for additional drivers.

Money

What's the security deposit?

$250, refundable. It's held at pickup and released when the vehicle comes back on time, undamaged, and at the same fuel or charge level. Card holds usually clear within a few business days depending on your bank.

How can I pay?

Card through Square, Zelle, Venmo, Apple Cash, or cash at pickup. Card payments carry a processing fee that's shown as its own line before you confirm. The other methods don't.

For anything other than card, we send you a booking number once your rental is approved — put it in the memo so we can match the payment to your reservation.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancel more than 48 hours before pickup and you get a full refund of anything you've paid. Inside 48 hours, one day's rate is retained. No-shows are charged the first day in full. Cancelling because of severe weather or a genuine emergency — call us, we'll work it out.

Are there hidden fees?

No. The total on the booking page includes the daily rate, your protection plan, tax and any card fee. The only things that can be added afterwards are refuelling if you bring it back low, mileage over your allowance, a late return, or damage.

Using the car

How many miles do I get?

200 miles per rental day, pooled across the whole rental. A four-day trip gives you 800 miles to use however you like. Anything past that is 35¢ a mile, settled at return.

What's the fuel policy?

Return it at the level you got it. If it comes back lower we'll refuel it and charge the pump price plus a $25 service fee. Same idea for the EVs — bring the charge back to roughly where it started.

Can I take it out of Michigan?

Yes, anywhere in the continental US. Canada is fine too but tell us first so we can get you the right paperwork. Just keep an eye on your mileage allowance for long trips.

What if something goes wrong on the road?

Call us. Roadside assistance is included in every rental, any hour. If the vehicle can't be driven safely we'll get you into another one or refund the unused days.

Pickup and drop-off

Where do I collect the car?

Our lot in Dearborn, or we'll meet you at Detroit Metro Airport. Delivery anywhere in metro Detroit is available for a flat fee — pick that option when you book and we'll quote it back to you.

Can I book same-day?

Often, yes. Send the request and call to flag that it's urgent, or just call first and we'll tell you what's on the lot right now.

What happens if I'm late bringing it back?

There's a one-hour grace period. After that it's charged at a quarter of the daily rate per hour, up to a full extra day. Text us if you're running behind — if the car isn't booked out after you, we can usually be flexible.

These answers describe standard practice and are written as a starting point. Have them reviewed alongside your rental agreement before launch so the two documents say the same thing.
