Unfortunately, WE DO NOT RENT to anyone under 25 Years of age. And Still We reserve the Right to Refuse Your Rental if the management is suspicious or cannot get enough security to protect our interest and our insurance company’s interest.

We accept the following credit cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

10. Liability Insurance and Indemnification
a) If an accident results from the use of the Vehicle Your liability insurance or the liability insurance of the driver of the Vehicle will be primary. This means that Lessor’s automobile liability insurance policy (“Policy”) will not grant any defense or indemnity protection under this paragraph if either You or the driver of the Vehicle are covered by any other valid and collectible automobile insurance, whether, primary, secondary, excess or contingent, with limits at least equal to the minimum required by the applicable state financial responsibility or compulsory insurance law. If neither You or the driver of the Vehicle has such insurance and an accident results from the use of the Vehicle as permitted by this Agreement, the insurance Policy obtained by Lessor protects You and authorized drivers against liability to third parties for bodily injury including death and property damage. The Policy’s coverage is limited to the minimum required by automobile financial responsibility or compulsory insurance laws of the state in which the accident occurs. Where permissible, the Policy does not protect against claims made by You, any authorized drivers or You or their family members whether related by blood, marriage or adoption and who reside with You or an authorized driver.
b) In addition, the Policy does not include Uninsured Motorists, Underinsured Motorists, No Fault or any Supplemental No Fault coverage unless such protection is required by law and cannot be rejected (Kansas currently mandates such coverage). TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL INSUREDS UNDER THE POLICY, INCLUDING LESSOR, YOU AND AUTHORIZED DRIVERS HEREBY REJECT THE INCLUSION OF SUCH COVERAGE. If such coverage is imposed by law, then the limits of such coverage will be the minimum required by the law of the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs.
c) You agree that Lessor, their affiliates, agents and employees are not responsible for loss, damage or expense in excess of the limits or beyond the scope of the protection provided in this Paragraph 10 arising from the use, maintenance, or possession of the Vehicle by You or any authorized driver or anyone with Your or an authorized driver’s permission. In addition, You and all authorized drivers will indemnify and hold such parties harmless from any such loss, liability or expense.
