ARTICLE 1: GENERAL CONDITIONS The General Rental Conditions will apply to all rentals granted by the company PLAYA GRANDE RENTALS & TOURS LLC LTDA, a company that is duly constituted under the laws of the Republic of Costa Rica, with legal entity certificate number 3-102- 859324, from now on and for all purposes of this contract called the “Lessor.”

The “Client,” who in this act expresses his express acceptance and gives his full consent to the General Rental Conditions without reservation and authorizes the Lessor to make the corresponding blockages to the credit card provided for such purposes, as well as to make any future deduction of additional charges arising from the breach of the rental contract.

During the rental period, the Renter will have full custody and will be solely responsible for the vehicle. When applying, it is an essential requirement for the rental of the vehicle that the Renter shows that his driving license is currently valid. Likewise, the Renter or any designated driver must be over 21 years of age and have a valid driving license. If the driver is under 21 years old, a surcharge will be applied to the total amount of the reservation.

Consider that the rental of certain types or categories of vehicles will be subject to and require different and particular payment instruments. Additionally, they will be subject to minimum age conditions according to their class, which the Client will be informed of in advance if applicable.

ARTICLE 2: OWNERSHIP USE AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE

The rented vehicle (scooter, e-bike, banana bike, golf cart, or ATV) is the exclusive property of the Lessor, the only one authorized to transfer the ownership of the leased vehicle, and the various rights and obligations embodied throughout this contract.

The rented vehicle may only be driven within the national territory of the Republic of Costa Rica by the Client or persons duly expressly authorized within this contract. Failure to comply with this obligation generates the total and automatic liability of the Client towards the Lessor and/or third parties. Additionally, the Client will also be responsible for the administrative expenses and will be obliged to compensate the Lessor for what was lost due to the lack of availability of the vehicle for rent. Finally, the Customer must assume the corresponding cost for crane service as appropriate.

If the client incurs a breach of the Law of Traffic on Public Land Roads and Road Safety, and as a consequence, the stopped vehicle is made, the Client must pay the Lessor half of the daily rate outlined in this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3: DELIVERY AND RETURN OF THE VEHICLE The delivery of the vehicle to the Customer will be made at the rental offices of the Lessor. Within the working hours of the rental office of the Lessor or before the stipulated date if the Lessor requires it. Suppose the Lessor has previously authorized the Customer to return the vehicle in a place other than the rental offices of the latter. In that case, the Customer will remain responsible for the vehicle and must respond for any damage until the actual delivery of the vehicle to the Lessor has been made in its rental offices. The Renter will not be authorized to deliver the rented vehicle in a place other than the rental office provided in his contract. If the Client returns the vehicle in an area not foreseen or authorized by the Lessor in its contract, said Client will incur a penalty for “Vehicle Abandonment,” an amount which will be established according to the rates previously set by the Lessor and that will be exposed and/or exhibited in the rental offices. Additionally, the Client must cover the expenses incurred by the Lessor for the recovery of the vehicle, the amount of which will be established and will depend on the place, time, and day of the recovery of the vehicle by the Lessor. The Client accepts that, in case of not returning the vehicle as stipulated in this contract, he waives to make any subsequent claim of any kind to the Lessor for any damage that he considers caused by the recovery of the vehicle by the Lessor. Whenever a vehicle is returned outside office hours and after the closing time displayed at the rental offices, in particular, due to the delay of flights, the Customer will be charged an additional delivery or return charge for the concept of “outside office hours ” for an additional amount which will be established according to the rates previously set by the Lessor and that will be exposed and/or exhibited in the rental offices.

ARTICLE 4: CONDITION OF THE VEHICLE: A vehicle description will be delivered to the Customer. Only an employee of the Lessor will be authorized to fill out the form describing the initial condition of the rented vehicle. In case of not complying with the above, the Lessor will be considered to have provided a vehicle according to the description. The Lessor will be entitled and may not take into account claims relating to damages not established in the form describing the initial state of the rented vehicle at the Time of departure. The Customer will be obligated to deliver the rented vehicle in the same condition he received it. All repair costs incurred by the Customer’s fault or in the absence of responsibility on the part of an identified third party will be added to the amount established for rental, by and hand in hand with the provisions of the section “INSURANCE AND EXEMPTION FROM ADDITIONAL DAMAGES.” The Lessor undertakes to provide a vehicle for a specific category, not a particular model or brand.

The Customer must return the rented vehicle in the same cleanliness it was when it was delivered. If the vehicle at the time of return is filthy (animal hair, sand, mud, stained seats, cigarette smell, brands, etc.), the Lessor will have the power to invoice the Customer an additional amount for “Cleaning and Repair,” amount which will be established according to the rates previously set by the Lessor and that will be exposed and/or exhibited in the rental offices. The vehicle has tires whose condition and number correspond to fully comply with the traffic regulations applicable in the Republic of Costa Rica. The customer shall pay for any damage or theft of tires, rings, wheel and disc system, tire accessories, flat tires, and fuel.

In case of loss and/or damage to the keys (moisture, fall damage, etc.), towing, copying the key, and reinstalling the anti-theft device will be charged to the Customer, regardless of the insurance available.

ARTICLE 5: EXCLUSION OF INSURANCE The Client assumes total and complete responsibility for the total amount of the repair or replacement of the vehicle, any of its parts, and its accessories in those cases where the insurance coverage is insufficient to cover the entire amount of the incident occurred, or in case of the Client incurs in any action or omission that generates the exclusion, and that merits that the insurer denies the corresponding payment.

Attached are the causes of insurance exclusion, which in this act are understood and accepted by the Client:

-The rented vehicle is used by persons other than those approved by the Lessor, for whom it must respond.

-That a driver drives the rented vehicle under the influence of alcohol or substances that modify the reflexes necessary for driving.

Additionally, the Client may not, in any case, assign, sell, mortgage, or pledge this contract, the vehicle, its equipment, or tools or manipulate them in a way that may cause damage to the Lessor.

ARTICLE 6: RENTAL: At the time of booking the vehicle either through our website, through an agency, a broker, or a company, the General Rental Conditions are established at the time of making reservation. Likewise, at that time, you must make a security deposit, which must be made through the Client’s credit card and will be an essential condition for the delivery of the rented vehicle. Suppose the amount established as a security deposit is not available. In that case, the Lessor may refuse to deliver the vehicle to the Renter and terminate the rental agreement without further declaration and automatically.

6.1           LIABILITY OF THE HOLDER OF THE BANK CARD OR THE ISSUER OF A TRAVEL VOUCHER OR A RESERVATION ORDER

When the rental is granted upon presentation of a bank card, a travel voucher, or a reservation order, the Lessor will invoice the issuer of the voucher travel or booking order, which will be responsible under the contractual provisions:

• For the use of the rented vehicle,
• Payment of rent and all related expenses,
• And you will remain responsible for any rental extension or the vehicle’s disappearance.

•  SECURITY DEPOSIT:

When removing the vehicle, the Customer must deposit to guarantee the Lessor the time of use of the vehicle. This deposit must be made through the Client’s credit card for a certain amount the Lessor will establish. The credit card with which the guarantee deposit is made must have the client’s surname and name, and the provisions specified in this contract will be respected. The card’s owner must be the person established as the vehicle’s main driver in the rental agreement. 

The amount deposited as a guarantee may be used for replacing missing or damaged vehicles to the vehicle, canceling the fuel owed, cleaning the vehicle, or any other of the benefits to which the Client is obliged. If the deposit made by the Customer is insufficient, the Customer must cancel the difference corresponding to the Lessor at the time of returning the vehicle.

6.3  PREPAYMENT – EXTENSION:

The Lessor will demand the payment of the entire amount established for the rental of the vehicle before the delivery of this to the Client, under the conditions stipulated by it, which will be empowered to provide for the payment of rent in several tracts. The advance payment may not, in any case, be used as a means to extend the term of the rental. The rental price and the advance payment amount will be provided in the Price Table of the Lessor, which the Client declares to know and accept. In case the Client wishes to keep his vehicle longer than initially agreed, he must first obtain the permission of the Lessor, visit one of the rental offices of the Lessor and pay, according to the Price Table, the amount of rent in progress. In case of non-compliance with the provisions of this clause, the Lessor will be entitled to file and follow the corresponding legal proceedings against the Client.

6.4  PAYMENT

The Renter undertakes to pay the Lessor once the rental has ended and the vehicle has been returned (including equipment, accessories, corresponding documents, and keys):

• The customer accepts and authorizes, through this contract, that all additional expenses related to the vehicle, its rental, or its use (fuel, repairs, traffic violations, etc.) will be debited from the same account.

If a promotional rate is applied, failure to comply with the rental period agreed upon at the time of delivery of the vehicle will imply the automatic application of the rates established by the Lessor for that moment. However, according to the pace set by the Lessor and the towing costs, the corresponding amount must be paid by the Client even when he has contracted additional insurance.

• The amounts established in the contract as the rental price will not be considered final amounts until the agreement is terminated. The Lessee reserves the right to review the specified amounts and readjust them to determine the actual amount. Likewise, the Client will be obliged to cancel any difference estimated by the Lessor, and otherwise, he will receive the corresponding refund; in the event of a breach of a said obligation, the Client must pay an interest of 10% on a monthly basis.
•  In the event of an accident, the Client authorizes the Lessee not to close the invoice, whether the Client’s fault causes it or not, until a final court judgment is obtained, issued by the Courts of Costa Rica, and the insurance company receives approval. Additionally, the Client authorizes not to close its invoice until all outstanding charges in its name or service are covered.

The Client will not be given any amount for the change of category to a minor.

ARTICLE 8: INSURANCE AND EXEMPTION FROM ADDITIONAL DAMAGE

All our vehicles are covered by an insurance policy, which is described below:

1. LIA is the mandatory Civil Liability and is included in all rates covered by the SOA. The SOA covers any injury or death caused to people (pedestrians or occupants of the vehicle) by a traffic accident, whether or not the driver is subjectively responsible. This insurance has a maximum coverage amount established by Costa Rican law. Likewise, in the Law of Traffic on Public Land Roads and Road Safety, the limits of coverage of said insurance are set.
2. SLI is the complementary Civil Liability; said insurance is not mandatory, it is an Automotive Civil Liability Insurance Policy, which provides civil liability coverage by the amounts established by the rates previously set by the Lessor, and that will be exposed and/or displayed in the rental offices, by current regulations, as well as the following additional protection, which is optional:

This coverage is not insurance but is an exemption for loss or damage caused to the vehicle. Such exemption is given only if the client pays the deductible indicated by the Lessor. Likewise, this protection does not contemplate damage to the vehicle’s windows, rings, or tires.
6. PDW is a partial coverage with a deductible, which means that it partially releases the Client in case of damage, collision, or theft of the vehicle in front of the Lessor, in whose the Client assumes responsibility for the payment of a deductible, which the Lessor and the rates will previously establish will be exposed and/or exhibited in the rental offices.
7. TDW is a complementary coverage to the LDW that exempts the Client from paying the deductible; that is, it frees the client from covering the deductible marked by material damage or theft caused to the vehicle during the rental.

If the damage to the vehicle is less than the deductible, the Lessor will reimburse the Customer for the difference between these amounts. The amount of the damage will be the economic value of the loss suffered by the Lessor due to the damage, destruction, or theft of the vehicle rented by the Client. Accordingly, any amount claimed by the Lessor for damage to the rented vehicle will be estimated by an expert, and compensation will be established for repair costs, towing costs, cost of vehicle downtime, and administrative expenses and processing, according to the amount which will be established according to the rates previously set by the Lessor and that will be exposed and/or exhibited in the rental offices If no repairs have been made, the Client must render the estimated amount of its cost as compensation for the loss of the market value of the vehicle.
