Check-in & Check-out Times
◉ Normal working hours
Our normal hours are 9am to 4pm and you can pick-up or drop-off a vehicle anytime during that window. A vehicle brought back after 4pm is considered late and customer will be charged another night unless prior agreements have been made with us.
We do not work on a strict 24-hr basis meaning you can grab a car at 9am and bring it back at 4pm just fine. It does not need to be returned at the same hour it was picked up.
We are open on Sundays for drop-off only and customer can leave keys in slot at the office.
Other Polices
◉Security Deposit
We require a $1,000 hold on a credit card to cover any damages to vehicles and gear during the rental period. We will release those funds after your return.
◉ minimum trip length
In the peak months (April 15-Oct 15) we have a 4-day/3-night minimum.
In the remaining months we have a 3-day/2-night minimum.
In either case you are more than welcome to do shorter trips but you will still be charged the minimum trip length.
◉ No Rock Crawling
We allow travel on marked 4WD roads to get you to a backcountry campsite or trailhead. We don’t outfit our vehicles with recovery gear for serious 4-wheeling. Remember you are responsible for any damages to the vehicle so drive roads that are comfortable with.
◉ Pets
We have an “invisible pet policy” which means there is no fee for bringing a pet if there is no evidence an animal was in the vehicle when it is returned. Otherwise we have a standard pet policy of $20/day and a $250 security deposit.
◉ No Travel to mexico

We have this policy so that you don’t have to worry about maxing out your daily miles if you are driving to the desert southwest or Yellowstone for a camping trip. However, it is not within reason to drive to California and back in 3 days. There are other rental car companies for that.
Campervans: 150 miles/day included
151-200 miles/day charged at $.35/mile
