So please do not remove the DVD from the special DVD player. Thank you. Drivers license check

There is a slight charge for this procedure. Depending on the state, the charge can be $10-15. Pet Hair, Dirt, and Odor
Our policy is clear and simple. No one wants to sit in a car that has pet hair or odor in it. So please do not carry dogs or cats in the vehicle. If you must, they cover the area where your pet is going to be. If the vehicle comes back with pet dirt or odor, You WILL be charged an additional charge for cleaning and deodorizing the vehicle. The charge is a minimum of $50. Please be considerate. Thank You Unlimited Miles
When applies. Unlimited mileage only applies on driving in the tri-state area. and not to exceed 300 Mile Radius.or leave the NY NJ CT states. HOLIDAY RATES MINIMUM CHARGES
DURING A 2, 3, OR 4 DAY HOLIDAY PERIOD, UNLESS WE SPECIFICALLY WRITE OTHERWISE ON YOUR CONTRACT, THE RATE QUOTED TO YOU WILL NOT CHANGE IF YOU DECIDE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE DATE/TIME PRINTED ON YOUR CONTRACT. FOR EXAMPLE: IF YOU RENT A VEHICLE DURING THE THANKSGIVING 4 DAY HOLIDAY PERIOD, YOUR RENTAL CHARGE WILL BE THE SAME IF YOU KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 1, 2, 3, OR 4 DAYS. HOLIDAY PERIOD INCLUDE LABOR DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, THANKSGIVING, 4TH OF JULY, CHRISTMAS, ETC. Holiday Period Additional Charge Applies
During holiday periods discounts and coupon specials DO NOT apply. Holiday rates might be higher than Internet prices and are NOT DISCOUNTABLE, and rates of vans might be higher than posted on the Internet. If your reservation is made within 4 weeks of a national holiday the posted internet price is not guaranteed, please call to confirm prices. During certain holiday periods such as Memorial Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Christmas and possibly other holidays, the minimum rental is 4 days. This means that if the vehicle is returned before the 4th day, the charge will still be the full holiday 4 day charge. Due to the many reservation requests during a holiday time, in order to confirm and hold your reservation, you must call in and give a deposit towards your rental. Without a deposit we cannot guarantee the reservation. For further information please call our office. Also, please note that during holiday periods, there is NO unlimited miles program. The rate that we will quote you will include 700 miles( some cars 1000). Any miles driven over the allowed 700 miles during the holiday period will be subject to a charge of $.40/mile. If you know that you will need additional miles, please advise us as soon as possible and the management might be able to create a special program for your needs. Thank you. Rental Extension Rates
f the renter decides to extend the rental period to a new date past the original return date on the rental agreement, this will automatically void any special pricing or rate that was associated with the original rental length, and the normal printed price sheet rental rate will then be applied to the total rental time starting from the first day of the original rental agreement. In other words; for example; if the renter was given a 2 day special price that included a certain % discount, and then decided to extend the rental to 5 days, then the % discount will no longer be valid and the total rental will be calculated by the regular printed price sheet price. Any exception must be given by the manager in writing. Deposits for Luxury Cars & 15 Pass Vans

Direct Billing and Company Account accepted only if a Corporate account has been Power Inverters
We provide power outlets for the game systems and your personal use. However please keep in mind that these do not supply unlimited power. If you plug too many things into our outlets you will either blow a fuse or melt the inverter. Keep an eye on how many cell phone chargers are plugged into the system, and make sure you disconnect them from the power supply if your phone is fully charged. Often we run into problems when 5 or 6 people have each of their cell phone chargers plugged in and then they plug in a couple laptops and melt the inverter. Most of our vans have at least 1000 watts of power. This should be more then enough for normal day to day use. Video System
Video Sytem / Game Consoles: We provide a video system in all of our luxury vehicles as an amenity to our clients. We do everything in our power to make sure the AV system is in working order before you leave, and if you find that something is broken during your rental, we will do everything in our power to get it repaired as soon as your schedule permits. However it is important to keep a couple things in mind: AV systems are easy to break. Road vibrations, normal wear and tear, misuse, even car washes can all lead to the AV system malfunctioning. If your AV system does not work for some reason, please contact us, our technician may be able to advise you on a simple solution. Due to the fact that the typical breakdown is beyond our control we do not offer discounts due to an AV system breakdown RENT BY THE HOUR ( Hourly VAN Rentals )
