This Rental Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between TowDrop Trailer Rentals ("Owner") and the individual booking the trailer ("Renter"). By completing a booking, the Renter agrees to all terms below.

1. Rental Period

• The rental period begins at the time of trailer delivery and ends when the trailer is collected by TowDrop.
• Daily rentals are for a 24-hour period. The trailer must be returned by the same time the following day.
• Weekend rentals cover Friday through Sunday.
• Weekly rentals cover 7 consecutive calendar days.
• Late returns will be charged at the applicable daily rate for each additional day or partial day.

2. Rates & Fees

• All rates are subject to change. The rate at the time of booking is the rate you pay.
• No hidden fees. The price you see at checkout is the price you pay.

3. Security Hold

• A 50% hold of the rental price is authorized on your credit/debit card at the time of booking.
• This is an authorization hold, not a charge — the funds are held by your bank and released after return.

• If damage, missing equipment, or excessive cleaning is found, the hold (or a portion) may be captured as a charge:
  • Damage beyond normal wear and tear
  • Missing tie-downs, ramps, or included equipment
  • Excessive dirt, debris, or cleaning required
  • Late return fees
• If damage or fees exceed the hold amount, the Renter is responsible for the balance.

• The Renter should inspect the trailer at delivery and report any pre-existing damage immediately.
