Rental Terms and Conditions
These Rental Terms and Conditions, together with the Rental Summary, any documents signed by the renter, and any documents electronically acknowledged by the renter in connection with the rental of a vehicle from Cramer Fleet Solutions, collectively constitute the Long-Term Vehicle Rental Agreement (“Agreement”) between the renter and Cramer Fleet Solutions.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” mean Cramer Fleet Solutions, and “Renter,” “you,” and “your” mean the person or entity renting the Vehicle.
The renter agrees that the Vehicle is provided solely as a rental and bailment for mutual benefit, and that Cramer Fleet Solutions retains full ownership of the Vehicle at all times.
The renter agrees to comply with all terms of this Agreement. Failure to comply with these Rental Terms and Conditions constitutes a breach of the Agreement and may result in termination of the rental, repossession of the Vehicle, refusal of future rentals, and the exercise of any other remedies available under this Agreement or applicable law.
If any provision of these Rental Terms and Conditions is prohibited by applicable law in the jurisdiction where the rental occurs, such law shall control only to the extent required and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
1. NATURE OF THE RENTAL RELATIONSHIP
1.1 Rental Relationship. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement establishes a short-term vehicle rental relationship and not a lease, financing arrangement, or transfer of ownership interest. Each Billing Cycle constitutes a separate short-term vehicle rental transaction. Company retains full title and ownership of the Vehicle at all times.
1.2 Consumer and Commercial Use. This program may be used by both consumer renters and commercial renters. Regardless of whether the renter is an individual or business entity, the relationship created under this Agreement is a short-term vehicle rental and not a vehicle lease.
2. BILLING CYCLE AND RENTAL TERM
2.1 Definition of Billing Cycle. “Billing Cycle” means a rental period not exceeding twenty-nine (29) consecutive days beginning on the Start Date identified in the Rental Summary.
2.2 Automatic Renewal. Unless either party provides the notice of termination described in Section 3 at least ten (10) days prior to the end of the then-current Billing Cycle, the Agreement automatically renews for an additional Billing Cycle. Nothing in this Agreement guarantees continued possession of the Vehicle beyond the current Billing Cycle, and renewal of any Billing Cycle remains subject to Company’s sole discretion, including in connection with fleet management, vehicle rotation, or mileage considerations.
2.3 Initial Commitment. Renter agrees to an initial commitment of two (2) Billing Cycles. If the Vehicle is returned before completion of the initial commitment period, Renter remains responsible for rental charges for the remaining portion of the commitment period.
2.4 Program Mileage Parameters. The maximum mileage permitted per Billing Cycle shall be as set forth in the Rental Summary. Total allowable mileage shall be determined in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement. Company does not guarantee any maximum rental duration and reserves the right to manage fleet usage and vehicle rotation in its sole discretion.
2.5 Responsibility for Payment. The Renter is responsible for all charges arising under this Agreement. If Cramer Fleet Solutions is directed to bill any charges to a third party, including but not limited to an employer, insurer, or other organization, the Renter represents that the Renter has authorization from such third party to direct billing. The Renter remains jointly and severally liable for all charges arising under this Agreement regardless of any third-party billing arrangement.
2.6 Payment Card Authorization Hold. If the Renter uses a payment card, including but not limited to a credit card or debit card, the card issuer may reserve or hold an amount up to the estimated total charges under this Agreement. Cramer Fleet Solutions may request authorization for estimated rental charges, security deposits, and anticipated fees. Such authorization holds may remain in place for the duration of the rental or until final charges are processed. Cramer Fleet Solutions is not responsible for any fees, overdraft charges, interest, or other charges assessed by the payment card issuer resulting from such authorization holds. Authorization holds do not limit Cramer Fleet Solutions’ right to charge the payment card for the full amount owed under this Agreement, including amounts that exceed the original authorization estimate. Additional charges may be processed after the rental period has ended if such charges are permitted under this Agreement.
2.7 Credit Card. The Renter authorizes Cramer Fleet Solutions to charge the full rental amount, including but not limited to applicable taxes, fees, and additional charges, to the credit card provided at the start of the rental period or otherwise maintained on file with Cramer Fleet Solutions. The Renter further authorizes Cramer Fleet Solutions to charge the credit card on file for any additional amounts arising from or related to the rental, including but not limited to damages, diminished value, loss of use, late return fees, tolls, violations, charging fees, fuel charges, administrative fees, or other incidental costs incurred during or after the rental period. The Renter must ensure that the credit card provided remains valid throughout the rental relationship and that sufficient available credit exists to cover all applicable charges. Authorization to charge the payment card survives the termination or completion of the rental for the purpose of collecting any amounts owed under this Agreement.
2.8 ACH / Direct Debit. If eligible, the Renter may authorize payment of rental charges through ACH or other electronic debit from the bank account provided at the start of the rental period. The Renter authorizes Cramer Fleet Solutions to initiate electronic debits for the full rental amount, including applicable taxes, fees, and additional charges, from the designated bank account. The Renter further authorizes electronic debits for any post-rental charges arising from the rental, including but not limited to damages, diminished value, late return fees, tolls, violations, charging fees, fuel charges, administrative fees, or other incidental costs incurred during the rental period. The Renter is responsible for maintaining sufficient funds in the designated account to satisfy authorized debits. Returned payments due to insufficient funds or other payment failures may result in additional administrative fees.
3. TERMINATION
3.1 Termination by Notice. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing at least ten (10) days’ written notice prior to the end of the then-current Billing Cycle. Upon such notice, the Vehicle must be returned at the end of the applicable Billing Cycle. Company’s right to require return of the Vehicle under this Section is in addition to its rights under Section 3.4.
3.2 Holdover. If the Vehicle is not returned by the end of the Billing Cycle following notice of termination, the renter shall be deemed a holdover renter. In such event, Company may repossess the Vehicle and Renter shall be charged a holdover rental rate equal to two (2) times the Billing Cycle rate, prorated on a per-day basis using a twenty-nine (29) day Billing Cycle divisor, until the Vehicle is returned or recovered.
3.3 Termination for Cause. Company may terminate this Agreement immediately for cause including but not limited to non-payment, violation of this Agreement, failure to maintain insurance, misuse of the Vehicle, or illegal activity.
3.4 Vehicle Recall and Rotation. Company reserves the right, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Renter, to require the return of the Vehicle at the end of any Billing Cycle for purposes of fleet management, including but not limited to vehicle rotation, mileage management, maintenance, resale preparation, or other operational considerations, regardless of the number of Billing Cycles completed. Renter agrees to return the Vehicle as directed by Company in accordance with such notice. Company may, at its discretion, offer a replacement vehicle, but is not obligated to do so.

Due to processing and billing delays from charging network providers, these charges may appear after your final rental invoice and may be charged to your payment method on file. Information
