GAS
  
Fuel Options   

When renting a vehicle, our customers have the following options for payment of the fuel used during the rental period.

1.     Pre-Paid Fuel Option

o    The renter may purchase the Pre-Paid Fuel option at the rental counter at the time the vehicle is rented. The Pre-Paid Fuel option is the purchase of a Full, Half or Quarter tank of fuel. The price per gallon of the Pre-Paid Fuel option is calculated by taking an average of the fuel costs at the pumps in the local market. The total price of the Pre-Paid Fuel option is calculated by multiplying the price per gallon of the Pre-Paid Fuel option by the capacity, in gallons, of the vehicle’s fuel tank as indicated by the manufacturer. By purchasing the Pre-Paid Fuel option as a Half Tank, the renter is only required to return the vehicle with an amount of fuel that is ½ tank less than was rented. By purchasing the Pre-Paid Fuel option as a Full Tank, the renter has no obligation to refill the tank on return of the rental vehicle. When any Pre-Paid Fuel option is purchased, there is no refund for any unused fuel remaining in the tank on return.

2.     Return Vehicle with Same Amount of Fuel or Pay a Return Refueling Fee

o    Time-saver. Let us refuel the vehicle. This time-saving option has a small premium for convenience of $6.95 per-gallon charge.

o    To avoid a return refueling fee, the rental vehicle must be refueled within 10 miles of the return facility and the renter must present a fuel purchase receipt upon return of the rental vehicle to the return facility.
