DRIVERS

TryVanLife vans may only be driven by an authorized driver, 23 years of age or over. An authorized driver is the renter and any additional person(s) who appears at the time of rental, provides their drivers licence & has agreed to TryVanLife Rental Terms & Conditions. All authorized drivers must satisfy our age requirements, have a valid driver's license, provide a physical street resident address, a major credit card in their own name, and fulfill our other qualifications. ***Please ensure you are able to drive the van you are reserving

​

INSURANCE

Basic Third Party Liability, Comprehensive, and Collision Insurance is provided during the duration of the rental under ICBC. If you reside in BC, your own ICBC insurance also covers you if you have a Roadstar or Roadside Plus package. Some credit cards and Canadian personal car insurance policies do provide rental insurance so please check with your credit card provider and personal auto insurance policy for details. Renters are responsible for the deductible in the event of an at-fault accident or other incident.
 

PAYMENT 

50% of the rental amount is required to confirm your booking.​

​

DAMAGE DEPOSIT 

The standard damage deposit is $500. This will be charged on your invoice prior to pickup & refunded within 5 business days after drop-off via the same method of payment.

​

CANCELLATIONS 

15% processing fees apply on all cancellations more than one month prior to pickup. Cancellations within 1 month of pickup will be charged 25% of the total invoiced amount. Cancellations within two weeks will be charged 50% of the total invoiced amount.  If cancelled within one week of pick-up, or the Customer is a no show then 100% of the rental cost will apply. No refunds will be given for early returns.

​

PICKUP & DROPOFF

TryVanLife vans can be picked up at 9am. At the time of pickup, we will do an orientation of the van. Vans must be returned by 8pm. There may be occasions in which your van could be ready for earlier pick up (a day earlier, for example at 6pm). In this instance you may be offered early pickup and charged accordingly, whether a half day rate or hourly. Because the van will be destined for its next rental and will need to be prepped, $100 late charge will automatically be applied to the deposit on file if not returned on time. There are no refunds for early return. Upon return, any damages or missing parts or items will be charged out at quoted market rates, which will come off of your damage deposit, once assessed and quoted. Renter will be responsible, not dispute and will be further billed for any damages that exceed the damage deposit amount.

​

RENTAL PERIOD 

The minimum rental period is 4 days. If it appears we have openings shorter than that time period, we may approve at our own discretion. Please email your request.

​

KILOMETRE ALLOWANCE 

Each rental comes with a 200 kilometres per day allowance. This is calculated over the duration of the rental. If the allowance is exceeded the additional kilometres will be charged out at $0.35/km. Additional kilometre charges, if applicable, will be the number of kilometres driven as determined by the odometer readings at the beginning and end of the rental.
Additional KM options:                                                                               
500km - $70

​

FUEL POLICY 

The renter is responsible for fuelling up the rental van with the correct type of fuel, whether gasoline or diesel. If renter fills the van with the wrong type of fuel, renter is fully responsible for damages that occur as a result. The renter must refill or top-up the tank of the vehicle within a 10 kilometre radius of the drop-off location and present a receipt to avoid a refuelling charge. If renter returns van having not filled or topped-up the tank, renter will automatically be billed $50 fee plus the amount for fueal which will be deducted from the damage deposit.
