Common use of Hire Period Clause in Contracts

Hire Period. The hire period extends from the agreed pick-up of the vehicle to the final return. The minimum hire period is 3 nights all year round. The vehicle must be returned by the time specified in the rental agreement. If the hire period is exceeded, an excess fee according to the Fee Table will be charged per hour (a partial hour is charge the same as a full hour), unless you demonstrate that you are not at fault for the late return. The maximum excess fee per 24 hours of delay in returning the vehicle applies according to the Fee Table. We reserve the right to charge you for any and all damages (e.g., loss of profit, damage claims of the subsequent renter, etc.) as a result of the late return of the vehicle. If the rental vehicle is returned before the agreed return date, the full rental price agreed in the rental agreement shall still be payable.
