AVIS / BUDGET GROUP IMPORTANT NEWS:

When a customer extends a rental it often has an impact on an existing reservation for another client.

$10.00 per day will be charged to renters when returning their car if the actual check in date/time is greater than seven hours of the expected check in date/time.

For Example:

The customer was due to return the vehicle at 9am on March 1, but returns it at 5pm on March 1, the late return fee of $10 will apply.

The late return fee will apply for every 24 hours that renter is late. For example, the renter agreed to return the car by March 1 at 9am, but returns it on March 3 at 5pm. A late return fee of $20 will be charged. (the first $10 assessed after the seven hour grace period and the second $10 for each additional 24 hour time frame.

After three days have lapsed, the Loss Prevention Group works the overdue report and will add $50 recovery charge, in addition to the Late Fee of $10 per day. The late fee stops accruing when the $50 recovery fee is added.

A rental extension fee of $10 per extension will apply if the new expected date and time is greater than seven hours from the previous agreed return date and time.

The rental extension fee and late fee are taxable.

Effective June 1, 2009, Budget Rent A Car will no longer be on Molokai.
