Last revised: December 30, 2019

Definitions

“Agreement” means the terms and conditions in these Terms and Conditions and the provisions found on the Rental Agreement. “You” or “your” means the person identified as the renter in this Agreement and the Rental Agreement, any person signing the Rental Agreement, any Authorized Driver, or any person or organization to whom charges are billed by us at its or the renter’s direction. All persons referred to as “you”, “your”, “renter”, or “driver” are jointly and severally bound by this Agreement. “We”, “our”, or “us” means FrunkYea Rentals, LLC. “Additional Driver” means a person we list on the Face Page of the Rental Agreement. “Authorized Driver” means the renter, any Additional Driver, or any individual permitted by state law to operate the Vehicle. For rentals with pickup locations in California, “Authorized Driver” includes your spouse. Each Authorized Driver must have a valid driver‘s license for the duration of the rental period and, at most locations, and for most Vehicles be at least age 21. “Vehicle”, “car” or “Tesla” means the motor vehicle identified in this Agreement and any vehicle we substitute for it, and all its tires, tools, accessories, equipment, keys and Vehicle documents, but “Vehicle” does not include portable navigation devices or other optional equipment (“Optional Equipment”) that you rent from us. “Diminished Value” means the difference between the value of the Vehicle immediately prior to damage or loss, and the value of the Vehicle after repair or replacement.

Renter Requirements

All renters & additional drivers must be 21 years of age or older (unless otherwise posted i.e. P100D), have a valid driver’s license & a major credit card in their name. All drivers must provide proof of full coverage insurance. More details in ‘Insurance Requirements’. Driver’s licenses are accepted from any USA state or territory. Licenses from outside the USA also may require an international driver’s permit. International driver’s permits are valid only if presented with the original local license. Individuals with learner’s permits are not eligible to rent vehicles. All renters must have a valid driver’s license in good standing for the previous 30 days. Renters only authorized to drive within the United States. FrunkYea reserves the right to refuse rental to anyone, for any reason.

Age Restrictions

You must be at least 21 years of age to rent, but the following provisions apply for customers between the ages of 21-24:

  • Renters 21-24 must present a valid, acceptable credit card (debit cards are not permitted) and a valid driver’s license (subject to screening of your driving record), both in the renter’s name.
  • At time of rental, an additional per-day underage surcharge for these renters may be applied. Because we don’t verify your age when you make a reservation, this fee is in addition to your quoted online rate unless you pay & checkout with the underage extra selected.

Insurance Requirements

You are responsible for all damage and/or loss you cause to others. You agree to provide auto liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering you, us, and the Vehicle and must remain in effect for the duration of the rental period. Comprehensive and collision deductibles must not be more than $1,000. All drivers must carry some form of insurance to cover damages to the Vehicle in the event of an accident. You’ve got several options: The easiest option is if you carry an insurance policy on a personal vehicle that you own or lease. We will verify with your insurer that your policy is active. Another option is if you have an American Express card – they offer a program called ‘Premium Car Rental Protection’. This is available directly from American Express and provides coverage for your GDC rental vehicle. This is a great option because it can be purchased in addition to your regular insurance policy and provides an extra layer of protection. Many other credit cards offer similar benefits. As of November 2018, Visa, Mastercard, & American Express offered some form of rental car coverage for cards on their networks. However, the coverage on any particular card can vary according to the bank that issued it, and even cards from the same issuer can have different levels of coverage. If you do not have full coverage insurance you can rent another way. Please contact us for instructions.

Additional Drivers

Additional drivers must meet the same rental qualifications as the renter. Additional drivers must appear with the primary renter at the time of pick up. There will be no additional charge for each additional authorized driver including a spouse or domestic partner. There is a limit of two additional drivers per rental contract. A spouse or domestic partner is the only permitted additional driver on non-credit card deposits. Additional drivers age restrictions are the same as primary.

Driving Record

FrunkYea Rentlas, LLC reserves the right to deny rental if the driving history reveals any of the following:

  • invalid, suspended or revoked license
  • one or more convictions for reckless driving within 48 months
  • one DUI, DWI or DWAI conviction within 48 months
  • failure to report an accident/leaving the scene of accident within 36 months
  • possession of stolen vehicle or use of a vehicle in a crime
  • expired license
  • three or more convictions for moving violations within 24 months (excluding seatbelt violations)
  • two or more accidents within 36 months
  • other activities that suggest an unsatisfactory driving record.

Payments & Deposits

Payment is due upon booking to reserve the date/time chosen. Refundable security deposits are held at the time of pickup and start at $150. If you book with a debit card deposits can be $1,000 or more depending on your insurance deductibles. Deposits can not be used to extend your booking. Deposits are used in the event there is damage, tolls, tickets, or fees not included in the rental agreement. Security deposits are returned to the same card used.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations made 7 days or more in advance of the booking date, will receive a 100% refund. Cancellations made within 2 – 6 days of booking will receive a 50% refund. No refund for cancellations less than 48 hours. We understand things come up but enforce this rule as bookings block the use of a Vehicle for a period of time and we loose the opportunity to rent to someone else.

Mileage Policy

Mileage allowance is 300 miles per day unless otherwise specified. Up to a $3/mile charge for overages depending on the Tesla Model. In some cases mileage and overages are negotiable. Please message us for any questions before your trip. We do offer trip extras to add additional miles or even unlimited miles on some listings. These typically need to be purchased before the trip start. These can be found at checkout under ‘Trip Extras’.

Smoking Policy

Smoking of any kind is NOT permitted within the Vehicle at anytime. Violation of this agreement will be fined upward of $350 or more depending on if there is damage (small and/or physical damage).

Charging Policy

Some Tesla Model S, X & Performance Model 3 includes FREE Tesla Supercharging – the listing should be labeled if the Tesla includes free Supercharging. All Tesla Supercharger stations are easy to find on all in Vehicle Tesla navigation system. Just like a typical rental, you are required to return the Vehicle at the same fuel/charge level as when it is picked it up unless otherwise posted or agreed upon. Some listings have pre-paid fuel/charging available. Tesla introduced a $1/minute idle fee for Superchargers to incentivize drivers to move from the charging spot when the charging is complete. The standard Tesla Model 3 does not include free supercharging like the Tesla Model S, X & Performance Model 3 does. Any fees incurred from charging at a Tesla SuperCharger will be billed or subtracted from your security deposit (as of August 2018 it is 0.26/kWh in California. Please check the state where you’ll be driving here ). If the customer is left at the side of the road with an empty battery due to poor planning, then the customer is liable for any fees including and related to the towing and recharging of the Vehicle. In addition, in any case, the fees for transporting the car to the nearest charging station are the sole responsibility of the customer. Electric vehicles sometimes experience phantom drain where the Vehicle will loose its charge of around 2-3%/day (or more based on conditions). If parking overnight with low battery you could have an unexpected drop in range the next morning.

Use of the Vehicle

You must use the Vehicle only for your personal use and not for any commercial purposes (e.g. driving other passengers for a fee such as through Uber or Lyft) You must exercise reasonable care in your use of the Vehicle. You are required at all times to operate the Vehicle safely, and in compliance with all applicable laws, including without limitation, speed limits and prohibitions on impaired or distracted driving. You are required to wear seat belts during the operation of the Vehicle and to require that all of your passengers wear seat belts. You are also required to meet any laws or regulations concerning carseats and other protections for children. You must only use the Vehicle within the United States of America. Canada and Mexico is prohibited.

Damage Policy

You are responsible for all collision damage to the Vehicle even if someone else caused it or the cause is unknown. You are responsible for the cost of repair up to the value of the Vehicle, and towing, storage, and impound fees. Your own insurance, or the issuer of the credit card you use to pay for the Vehicle rental transaction, may cover all or part of your financial responsibility for the Vehicle. You should check with your insurance company, or credit card issuer, to find out about your coverage and the amount of the deductible, if any, for which you may be liable. Further, if you use a credit card that provides coverage for your potential liability, you should check with the issuer to determine if you must first exhaust the coverage limits of your own insurance before the credit card coverage applies. You are responsible for all damage to, and for loss or theft of, the Vehicle including damage caused by collision, weather, road conditions and acts of nature, even if you are not 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 not repairable or if we elect not to repair the Vehicle. You are also responsible for Loss of Use (without regard to fleet utilization), Diminished Value, and our administrative expenses incurred processing a claim. You must report all accidents and incidents of theft and vandalism to us and the police as soon as you discover them. Flat tires are a fact of life, and renters are responsible for a flat tire that occurs during the trip, as well as any related damage that may result from that flat or damaged tire. In the event of a flat, the renter should contact roadside service to change the tire and replace it with a spare, and then coordinate next steps with the host. If the tire can be repaired, it might be best to do so. If the sidewall is damaged or a repair is not possible, the renter is responsible for replacing that tire. In the event of a collision or other damage, file a police report, take photos, gather insurance/ID from other party (if applicable) and let us and your insurance know asap.
