• What is the RVezy rental agreement?

  The RVezy rental agreement is an improved tool to help simplify the rental experience for both owners and renters by helping them understand each other's responsibilities and complete the departure & return inspections with ease. It is essentially a digital, easily digestible version of our terms of service.

   

  Accessing the rental agreement

  After a new booking has been confirmed and paid for by the renter, the rental agreement will appear on your Dashboard and become available to be completed. This is required for every new booking by both the owner and the renter.
  

   

  Please note that only verified users will be able to access the rental agreement. If you have not yet verified your account, you will need to do so in order to access and complete the agreement for your booking.

  
  Completing the rental agreement

  In order to complete your rental agreement, you can either follow the notification on your RVezy Dashboard and click Start Agreement, or access your booking details and click View Agreement.

  
  

  You'll then be asked to read a series of statements and acknowledge that you've understood each of them by ticking a box beside each statement.
  

  For RV owners

  For RV owners, the rental agreement includes the following points:

  

  For RV owners who have opted out of RVezy's commercial insurance policy, you will also be asked to read and acknowledge this statement: I understand that I have opted out of RVezy’s commercial insurance policy for this rental. I am fully liable for any insurance-related claims or issues in relation to this rental.

  For renters

  For renters, the rental agreement includes the following points:

  

  

  If you have rented an RV from an owner who is opted out of RVezy's insurance, you will also be asked to read and acknowledge this statement: I understand the owner opted out of RVezy insurance for this rental; any insurance-related issues must be dealt with directly with the RV owner.

   

  After checking all of the boxes above, you can click on Accept & Sign Agreement. You will be brought to a screen requiring you to sign your legal name. The name in brackets is the name you must type in order to be able to submit your agreement.

  

  After typing your legal name and matching the name in brackets, you will be able to click on Submit Agreement. 

  

  Your rental agreement is now complete! You will be able to access a PDF copy of your completed rental agreement through your Booking Documents:

  

   

• How can I make changes to my booking?

  If you need to make changes to your trip, please do not cancel your booking. When a booking is cancelled, our cancellation policy automatically takes effect and the cancellation cannot be reversed. This means that you may not be able to rebook this same RV. 

  If the change is urgent or you are unsure how to make changes, please contact us.

   

  As a renter, you will have the ability to make some changes to your booking, even after you have paid and it has been confirmed. Any changes you would like to make will need to be approved by the RV owner.

   

  To make changes to your booking, head to your booking details page and click on Edit Booking.

  

  You can then select if you would like to edit your Guests, Add-ons, & Protections, or your trip dates. 

  

  If you click on Change details, you'll be able to make changes to the following:

  • Number of guests
  • Add-ons selection (except delivery and airport pickup)
  • Roadside assistance selection
  • Insurance protection level selection

  

  If you click on Change dates, you'll be able to select your new trip dates:

  

   

  After making your changes, click Review Changes. You'll be presented with a revised invoice for the price difference to confirm the change you're making.

  Click Submit and your request will be sent to the RV owner. They will then be able to review the changes you want to make and either accept or decline your request.

  

  An automated message will be sent to let you know if the owner has accepted or declined your request. If the owner has declined it, they will need to provide a reason why, and you can then discuss it with them. 

  

  You will also see a banner on top of the booking details page letting you know whether your change was approved or not.

  If your change resulted in a refund or an additional charge, a receipt will be automatically emailed to you.

• What are the criteria to be an approved driver?

  The following requirements must all be met in order to be approved as a driver on RVezy:

  • At least 25 years old
  • Possession of a full, unrestricted license for a minimum of 8 consecutive years
    • This includes driving experience in other countries outside of Canada or the United States
    • An additional endorsement may be required, for example, if you are renting an RV with air brakes
  • No more than 2 at-fault accidents in the last 6 years
  • No more than 2 minor driving convictions in the last 3 years
  • No criminal code driving offense conviction in the last 3 years
  • No automobile insurance cancellation by your insurance company in the last 3 years
  • Personal automobile insurance OR another form of personal insurance (renter's insurance, house insurance, etc.)
  • For renters in the US: No distracted driving charges in the last 3 years

  Driver’s licenses from the following countries and regions are accepted:

  • Canada
  • United States
  • Mexico 
  • United Kingdom
  • European Union
  • Australia
  • New Zealand

  If your driver's license is from any other country, you will need an international driver's license in order to be approved as a driver. This can be acquired at specific offices available in your country.
  

  
  In the event of any damages occurring while an unapproved driver is driving the RV OR while there is no approved driver on the booking, the resulting damages will not be covered by the insurance and the renter will be fully responsible for the total cost of repairs.
  

• What is the security deposit and how does it work?

  The security deposit is an amount set by the owner for every rental. As a renter, it will be charged to your credit card three days before the start of the rental. 

  In the event of any damages or additional fees submitted by the owner during their closeout, these charges will be deducted from your security deposit and the remaining balance will be refunded.

  For Canadian renters

  In Canada, the security deposit amount will be charged to your credit card three days before the start of the rental and will be held for the duration of the rental period.

  Once both you and the owner have completed your closeouts, the security deposit will be returned to you (minus any damage or closeout charges entered by the owner during their closeout). This is a standard credit card refund and generally takes 2-3 business days to appear on the credit card statement.

  In the event of a dispute or an insurance claim, the security deposit will be held by RVezy until the dispute or claim has been resolved. Please refer to section 7.4 of the Terms of service for more details.

   

  For American renters

  In the United States, the security deposit is not charged to your credit card but is only an authorized transaction, issued three days before the start of the rental.

  RVezy will place a hold on this amount for 7 days, and the hold will be cancelled after this period. At this time, the funds will be released and the transaction will be removed from your bank statement. The security deposit will only be collected in the event of a damage claim.

  If the owner submits any damage or additional charges during their closeout, the remaining balance of your security deposit will be refunded.

  If the 7-day period has passed and the hold on the funds was released, any closeout charges will be charged directly to the card on file.

  In the event of a dispute or an insurance claim, the security deposit amount will be captured by RVezy and held until the dispute or claim has been resolved. Please refer to section 7.4 of the Terms of service for more details.

   

• What is the cancellation policy?

  RVezy enforces a cancellation policy that ensures a fair and equitable process for both renters and owners. 

   

  Renter cancellations

  If cancelled by the renter more than 30 days from the start date of rental:

  The renter will receive a full refund* of the deposit that was paid minus the RVezy service fee and its tax. 

  If cancelled by the renter between 30 days and 8 days from the start date of rental: 

  The renter will be refunded* 50% of the rental amount and will forfeit the RVezy service fee and its tax as well as the 2nd half of the rental amount. The owner will receive a payout of 50% of the rental amount minus the RVezy service fee and its tax.

  If cancelled by the renter 7 days or less from the start date of rental: 

  The renter will forfeit the full rental amount. The owner will receive a payout of the full rental amount minus the RVezy service fee and its tax.

  24-hour grace period: 

  Renters are entitled to get a full refund* if they cancel within 24 hours of making the first payment. The owner will not receive a payout.
  The above applies as long as the time of cancellation is more than 24 hours from the trip start date.
  Please note that the 24-hour timeline is strict to the exact time of the first payment.

   

  Owner cancellations

  If cancelled by the owner at any time:

  The full amount paid will be refunded to the renter, including all fees and taxes. The owner will not receive any payout. The position of the owner's RV listing in the search results will be impacted by the cancellation, and the trip dates of the cancelled booking may be blocked in the owner's calendar.

   

  Add-ons, Cleaning fees, Insurance, & Roadside:

  In the event that a renter needs to cancel a booking, regardless of where they fall within the cancellation policy, all add-ons, cleaning fees, insurance, and roadside fees, as well as the tax applied on those items will be refunded*. 

  
  
  Please note that RVezy does not cancel bookings on behalf of users. If an owner or renter wishes to have a booking cancelled, they will need to log in to their account and cancel their reservation through the booking details page. After clicking on the Cancel button, users will have to read and acknowledge the cancellation policy.
  
  If you wish to modify a reservation, please DO NOT cancel the booking, as the above cancellation policy will apply. Instead, please contact us notifying us of the changes needed and we will do the necessary updates.
  

   

  *REFUNDS: Once a refund is initiated, it will be received within 2 to 3 business days.

  Exceptions

  For RVs registered in Canada

  For owners on the platform with an RV registered in Canada, our insurance coverage applies to all trailers registered in any of the Canadian provinces and territories.

  It also applies to motorhomes registered in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. If you own a motorhome registered outside of those provinces, you will be responsible as the RV owner for having adequate insurance coverage on your motorhome for private rentals.

  How does it work?

  If your insurance application has been approved, every rental you have on RVezy will be covered by this policy. This coverage is mandatory for the renter, meaning they cannot remove it. It also applies automatically to make the process as worry-free as possible.

  Note that you should still have your own personal insurance policy to cover your RV while it's in your possession. As soon as your RV is on a rental, our commercial coverage will take over and protect your RV for the duration of the rental only.
