Terms of Hire for Stoutes Car Rentals
Stoutes Car Rentals' hire rates may vary from season to season. Their rates are determined by supply, demand and market conditions. Rates quoted are only guaranteed at the time they are quoted.
Vehicle hire works on a 24 hour basis – e.g. if you hire a vehicle at 11 a.m. and return it at 11 a.m. the next day, this would be considered a one day rental. Extra charges will be applied if the vehicle is returned late.
All rates quoted include unlimited mileage.

Insurance
With Stoutes Car Rental rate of hire, the vehicle is comprehensively insured except for a deductible of $1,750 US in case of loss, accident or damage to the vehicles – regardless of fault. An optional EXCESS WAIVER is available and recommended to cover this deductible. If this Excess Waiver is purchased, responsibility for the deductible is reduced to $125 US. Upon return, one of Stoutes Car Rentals' agents will inspect the vehicle, and determine if the vehicle has been returned in the same condition as it was received.
Credit Card Collision Coverage
Some credit card companies and internet sites offer collision coverage benefits. As in many types of coverage there are limitations, and clients should check carefully to verify the coverage they have. If the client has purchased excess waiver from another source and has an accident during the hire, he must pay us for the damages incurred up to the maximum $1,750 US. Stoutes Car Rentals will then supply the documentation required to reclaim this payment from the company. Clients must have a valid credit card so we can authorize a security hold if deemed necessary.
The Excess Waiver is voided if the client has an accident, and must be purchased again for the rest of the hire.
