Age Requirements
Minimum Age: 21. ALL RENTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 21 MUST PROVIDE THEIR OWN FULL COVERAGE INSURANCE THAT COVERS OUR CAR ON LIABILITY AND IT MUST TRANSFER OVER. THE CUSTOMER MAY NOT PURCHASE ANY COVERAGES FROM US AND MUST HAVE PROOF OF COVERAGES WITH THEM AT TIME OF RENTAL. YOU MAY WANT TO FAX OVER A COPY OF INSURANCE BEFORE RENTAL TO AVOID ANY DELAYS AT TIME OF RENTAL. Ages 16 to 20 - Surcharge applies.
Renter
Renters may purchase Renters Liability insurance (RLI) at the time of rental. Renters in California who purchase RLI will receive California required liability coverage. WRITTEN PROOF OF LIABILITY COVERAGE IS REQUIRED AT OUR OFFICE IF YOU WILL BE DECLINING OUR COVERAGE.
Collision Damage Waiver
In California, the renter is liable for all damage to the Rented vehicle regardless of fault. The renter is also liable for loss of use of the vehicle (revenue lost while the car is being repaired). Renters may purchase Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) which relieves them of all financial responsibility for loss or damage to the Rental vehicle as long as they comply with the terms of the rental agreement. In California, CDW does not relieve the renter for theft resulting from failure to use ordinary care. Cost of CDW will vary by car, group and rate. If you have rental car coverage through your personal insurance or charge card, CDW offers maximum protection while your personal insurance or charge card coverage may contain a deductible. If you have any questions, check with your insurance provider. Written proof of insurance is required.
Documentation of Pre-existing Damage
Before driving the Vehicles, a SeventhWing Rentals LLC employee will inspect the vehicle and take photos of any pre-existing damage. It is the Renter’s responsibility to confirm that all pre-existing damage is noted, including any non-functional features or components of the vehicle. Renters may be liable for any damage they fail to document before driving the Vehicle.
Payments for Damage and Accidents
If you cause damage to a vehicle, SeventhWing Rentals LLC may charge your credit card on file, without notice, for the entire amount of the damage repair cost or your maximum liability based on your purchased damage waiver. SeventhWing Rentals LLC will also hold you responsible for, and you agree to be so held, any reasonable administrative fees for dealing with the claims, as well as rental car costs while the vehicle is being repaired. If SeventhWing Rentals LLC is unable to charge your card on file, SeventhWing Rentals LLC may use other tactics to recover funds, including filing arbitration, through small claims or litigation, or through a debt collection agency.

Parking Tickets and Traffic Violations:

It is the sole responsibility of the Renter to pay these fees in a timely manner and to comply with all legal obligations that arise from such violations. If Renter does not pay the tickets or fees, SeventhWing Rentals LLC will charge the Renter for the amount of the ticket plus a $25 administrative fee and pay for the ticket.

Impound
If a car is impounded during your rental, you will be fully responsible for any towing and storage fees that arise as a result of the impound, unless the impound was caused by an issue completely outside of your control (such as the registration being expired). It will be your responsibility to assist SeventhWing Rentals LLC and/or the owner to retrieve the vehicle, or to do it yourself, if it is possible.
Hitchhikers
Renter may not pick up hitchhikers or persons unknown to the Renter while in the Vehicle.

The original license must be presented, and must be in the name of the driver. The renter's driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. An International Driving Permit (IDP) serves only as a translation of a valid driver's license. An IDP must always be presented in conjunction with the official drivers license of the issuing country. SeventhWing Rentals LLC will not rent to a holder of a license that restricts them to daytime driving only or to business driving only. A learner's permit is not accepted. A valid temporary license is accepted. Expired licenses will not be accepted.
Contract Rates
If your vehicle is needed beyond the due date stated at the time of the opening of the contract, the customer MUST return to the original rental office and sign a new contract. The rate is subject to change. When a vehicle is reserved and rented, the confirmed rate is only good during that specific time period. Any extension, or revision of the orginal reservation of any amount of time will result in a rate change. Rates are not pro-rated
Fuel
Renters must return the Vehicle with the same amount of gas in the tank as there was at the start of the rental. If the gas is not filled back to the level present at the beginning of the rental, renters will be subject to a $10 fee plus the refueling cost of the Vehicle as estimated by SeventhWing Rentals LLC.
No Brand Guarantees
