You are responsible for all damage or loss you cause to others. You agree to provide auto liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering you, us, and the Vehicle. Where State law requires us to provide auto liability insurance, or if you have no auto liability insurance, we provide auto liability insurance (the Policy) that is secondary to any other valid and collectible insurance, whether primary, secondary, excess or contingent. The Policy provide bodily injury and property damage liability coverage with limits no higher than minimum levels prescribed by the financial responsibility laws of the State whose laws apply to the loss. You and we reject PIP, medical payments, no-fault and uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage, where permitted by law. Coverage is void if you violate the terms of this Agreement or if you fail to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by us, or our insurer. The Policy does not cover losses caused by drivers of the Vehicle who are not Authorized Drivers. You have the option to purchase RV Supplemental Liability Insurance. This is purchased online directly with an insurance company, not Rayewood RV Rentals. This will offer coverage of $300,000 liability insurance. Go to RVsli.com for full details. More info is available as needed.

In the unlikely event of mechanical difficulties with your rental vehicle, we want to get you back on the road as quickly as possible. Our late model vehicles are covered under manufacturer’s warranty, so repairs are as simple as taking the unit to a Ford dealer for chassis problems or to a Forest River dealer for coach or trailer repairs. If breakdowns occur and repairs are needed, any repair up to $50.00 may be done. Any repairs $50.00 or over must have prior authorization from Rayewood RV Rentals. Please save and submit all receipts for repairs. Refunds will not be made without a receipt.

Seat belts are provided in various seats around the motor home. It is very important, both for your safety and to abide by state and federal laws, that they be worn whenever the vehicle is in motion and care should be taken when choosing small individuals (especially children) to occupy those seats.

You are not permitted to tow anything or use the hitch for a bike rack without permission.

Any excessive interior or exterior grim, stains, dirt, requiring deep cleaning will be billed hourly, at our standard shop rate, in addition to the prepaid cleaning fee.

As part of our service to you, upon the return of the vehicle the holding tanks will be dumped and rinsed with no additional charge to the renter.

The vehicles are released to you with the engine fuel and propane tanks full. The propane tanks will be filled at no charge to the renter as part of our service to you. For your convenience, if the fuel tank is not full upon return, you will be charged a fair rate per gallon for refueling.

Use of the 110V generator is available for $3.00 per hour. In lieu of the hourly rate, unlimited used can be obtained by prepaying $36.00 per day for the generator. The generator runs off of the motorhome’s premounted regular gasoline tank.

Be sure and watch for low hanging branches, canopies at gas stations and fast-food restaurants, and parking structures.

All vehicles have a weight limit established by the chassis manufacturer. You should always be careful not to exceed the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of the vehicle. Traveling with full fuel, water, and waste tanks makes the vehicle quite heavy and cuts down on the carrying capacity of people, personal items food, and luggage. It also affects fuel economy. If you have any questions regarding weight, please consult our personnel or check the weight label.

It is important that you check the engine fluids every time you stop to refuel. If the vehicle needs any fluids, please add the proper amount. You will be reimbursed when you present us with the receipt upon your return. Driving with low fluid levels can cause engine damage for which you are totally responsible. It is important that you watch all gauges, driving the vehicle while it is overheated will cause engine damage. It is also vital that you check the generator oil level every 6-8 hours of operation. If the generator or the engine needs oil, you may use 30 wt or 10W30 oil, available at any service station.

If involved in an accident you must notify Rayewood RV Rentals within 24 hours. A full written police accident report must be submitted to our management upon your return. Failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of your security deposit.

In the unfortunate situation that there is damage to the rental unit when you return, we want you to know how those situations will be handled. Our goal is to be as up front and clear as possible so there are no surprises. We charge our standard shop labor rate. If you have ANY questions regarding this information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

An estimate / appraisal will be done to determine repair and replacement costs to the unit. We charge our standard shop labor rate.

Some repairs require outside service assistance. If we use an outside shop, you will be responsible for the transportation costs of the vehicle to and from the shop.

Any additional terms will be disclosed at the time the rental agreement is signed.

Rayewood RV Rentals reserves the right to refuse any applicant.
