Booking Terms
mr economy car rental and you
Vehicle rental rates vary considerably from place to place and from time to time, and they change very frequently. You may contact Mr Economy Car Rental to inquire about rates for vehicle rentals through a variety of channels, including reservations telephone lines, websites and computerized reservations systems such as those utilized by travel agents. Unless it is provided in connection with certain types of reservations, a rate quote you receive is merely indicative of the rates then being offered and creates neither legal rights nor practical expectations of vehicle availability or the continued applicability of the quoted rate. Rate quotes made in connection with reservations are covered by the rules appearing below.
If you obtain a rate quote from Mr Economy, make a reservation with Mr Economy or arrange with Mr Economy for a prepaid rental transaction and the quote, reservation or transaction involves a Mr Economy licensee, you may be advised that the rules appearing below do not apply in one or more respects. If you receive such advice, that advice will supersede what appears below.
LorReservations
When you wish to make a reservation for the rental of a vehicle, you may contact Mr Economy Car Rental through a variety of channels. A "reservation" for a vehicle rental is a notation in Mr Economy Car Rental records that you have expressed the desire and intention to rent a vehicle of a specified vehicle class from Mr Economy Car Rental or a Mr Economy Car Rental licensee at a specified time, date and location (the "pick-up" time, date and location), with the vehicle to be returned to Mr Economy Car Rental or a Mr Economy Car Rental licensee at a specified time, date and location (the "return" time, date and location), on the terms and conditions and subject to the rental qualifications and requirements that Mr Economy Car Rental or the applicable Mr Economy Car Rental licensee then imposes for such a rental. Pick-up and return times for reservations are always expressed in local time at the pick-up and return locations, respectively.
In general, Mr Economy Car Rental accepts reservations only for a class of vehicles, and not for vehicles either of specific makes, model years or models or with particular characteristics not common to all vehicles in the class. The only exceptions to this rule occur when (i) you reserve a vehicle under the "Mr Economy Car Rental Prestige Collection" program at a participating rental location or (ii) if you are a member of Mr Economy Car Rental #1 Club and you reserve a vehicle under a program that is advertised as specifically allowing #1 Club members to reserve a particular make and model vehicle. In those two cases, and in no others, you may reserve a specific make and model of vehicle; however, the model year and other characteristics of the reserved vehicle are still subject to change, and any other limitations of which you are advised will apply.
When you seek to make a reservation, Mr Economy Car Rental may decline to allow you to do so. If Mr Economy Car Rental allows you to make a reservation, any legal obligations that arise – both for you and for Mr Economy Car Rental or the applicable Mr Economy Car Rental v licensee – are discussed in detail below. The practical, non-legal significance of your making a reservation is also discussed in detail below.
Rental Qualifications and Requirements
The Mr Economy Car Rental company or Mr Luxury licensee operating a rental location at which you wish to rent may impose significant qualifications and requirements on people seeking to rent vehicles. Those include the possession of a valid driver’s license, the satisfaction of minimum age requirements and the making of arrangements with respect to payment of rental charges that Mr Economy Car Rental or the licensee deems satisfactory. Other, significant qualifications and requirements may also apply. You must satisfy all rental qualifications and requirements at the time of pick-up; it is not sufficient for you to meet them at the time of reservation. For full details, call Mr Economy Car Rental.
Estimated Additional Charges.
When you make a reservation, in addition to being quoted a base rental rate, you may receive a quote of additional charges (other than charges for optional products and services) that Mr Economy Car Rental expects will be assessed in connection with the rental but that are not included in the base rental rate that has been quoted. A quote for those charges is only a good faith estimate based on tax rates and other governmentally imposed charges that Mr Economy Car Rental, at the time of the quote, expects will apply at the time of the rental. If Mr Economy Car Rental expectations with respect to tax rates or other governmentally imposed charges are not realized – for example, if tax rates are unexpectedly increased after the quote is given – then you will be liable for the taxes and other governmentally imposed charges that actually apply at the time of rental, even if they are higher than Mr Economy Car Rental had expected at the time of reservation.
When you make a reservation, in addition to being quoted a base rental rate and any estimate of the additional charges that are expected to be assessed in connection with the rental, you may receive a quote of the estimated, or approximate, total charge for the entire rental. Such a total will ordinarily be computed without regard to charges for optional products and services and charges that Mr Economy Car Rental cannot, on the basis of the information available to it at the time, determine. Except in the case of prepaid rental transactions (which are discussed below), such a total will only be a good faith estimate based on tax rates and other governmentally imposed charges that Mr Economy Car Rental, at the time of the quote, expects will apply at the time of the rental. If Mr Economy Car Rental expectations with respect to tax rates or other governmentally imposed charges are not realized – for example, if tax rates are unexpectedly increased after the quote is given – then you will be liable for the taxes and other governmentally imposed charges that actually apply at the time of rental, even if they are higher than Mr Economy Car Rental had expected at the time of reservation.
