Damage and Mechanical Issues During Rental Period

• If a mechanical breakdown should occur, the renter is responsible to repair the rental vehicle immediately. Any charges up to $150.00 can be made without prior authorization and will be refunded after presenting itemized bills. Renter must retain broken parts or tires.
• Awnings are not covered by our insurance company. The renter’s own insurance company may cover damage, however the renter is ultimately responsible for any damage to awning. Awnings must be properly secured to the unit during storms or when renter is not present.
• Damage under the cost of the insurance deductible will be deducted from the security deposit. Please note, money may still be owed after returning the unit if: a. The insurance deductible has been exceeded, AND/OR b. There have been additional charges for one or more of the following: mileage, fuel, pets on board, excessive cleaning fee, or smoking.
• The customer is responsible for checking engine oil, fluids, and coolant levels at each refueling, as well as reporting mechanical failures immediately. Instruction and procedures for maintenance expense reimbursement are provided at the time of rental. Customers may be held responsible for mechanical damage due to negligence in vehicle operation or failure to provide normal maintenance.
• Radio, air conditioning, refrigerator, microwave and appliances, cruise control, and generator malfunctions are not considered breakdowns and no refunds are available for repair time to these items.
• Customers are responsible for reporting and payment of all parking/traffic violations.

Generators

• Motorhomes are equipped with generators. A generator is not necessary for normal vehicle operation and is subject to frequent service interruption. If the customer chooses to use the generator, extra charges accrue at $3.00 per hour as determined by a running time meter. Every rental gets three free hours of generator use per night.
• Generator expenses may be reduced by staying at locations that have electrical hookups and not allowing the generator to run when the vehicle is not occupied.

Towing

• No towing apparatus or hook-up services are provided under any circumstances. Freedom RV will provide no collision or liability coverage for damage to the towed object or for third-party injury inflicted by the towed object, under any circumstances.
