A. TOLLING/PLATEPASS®:

You are responsible for payment of all tolls incurred during the rental period. Budget Truck offers an optional service through our partner PlatePass that allows customers to use electronic toll lanes on highways, bridges, tunnels and other tolled passages. All Budget Trucks license plates are provided to PlatePass as our third party provider to electronically process tolls. Unless you directly pay the toll yourself as described below (see “Opting Out of e-Toll”), you will automatically opt-into the PlatePass service and pay the fees described herein the costs of which are included on the rental document you sign. If you use the PlatePass service at any time during your rental, you agree to pay a convenience fee for each day on which you incur a toll which will have a maximum amount per rental period (not to exceed 30 days). In addition, you will pay all tolls incurred at the maximum prevailing non-discounted or cash rates posted by the toll authority. Opting Out of the PlatePass service: You may avoid the PlatePass fees on any day during the term of the rental if you (i) pay cash for all tolls, (ii) use your own adequately funded, properly mounted and compatible electronic toll device to pay for all tolls, (iii) pay the toll authority directly through any available online or other service according to the toll authority’s rules and requirements; or (iv) avoid electronic toll roads or passages. Toll Administrator: If you use the PlatePass service, PlatePass third party toll program administrator (the "Toll Administrator") contracted by Budget Truck will process payment of each electronic toll that you incur during the term of the rental and charge your credit/debit card for the amount of tolls and convenience fees set forth above. Regardless of the service you choose, you agree that, in connection with e-Toll, we may share your personal information, (including your address, credit card/debit information, and other rental information) with the Toll Administrator. You also authorize the Toll Administrator and Budget Truck to charge your credit/debit card for all e-Toll fees described above based on the option that you select. You agree that the Toll Administrator may contact you directly regarding the e-Toll fees. The e-Toll fees may take 4-8 weeks after the rental concludes to be billed to your credit card/debit card on file. You agree to indemnify and hold us, the Toll Administrator, and any other agent we authorize harmless for any fines, charges or administrative fees incurred for any toll violations for which you may be liable. e-Toll does not cover airport parking. Customers must use a personal transponder or another approved payment method to pay for parking.

Toll violations will result in an administrative fee not to exceed $50 per toll issuer.

YOU CAN AVOID THE CONVENIENCE FEE AND ANY OTHER TOLL CHARGES BY PAYING THE TOLL IN CASH, USING YOUR OWN ELECTRONIC TOLL DEVICE, OR AVOIDING ANY CASHLESS TOLL ROAD OR PASSAGE.

You authorize us to release the rental and credit/debit card information regarding your rental to ATS Processing Services, LLC and affiliates (ATS) as our agent for the purpose of processing and billing you for tolls and toll violations incurred by you or assessed against us or the vehicle during your rental. You authorize ATS as our agent to bill the credit/debit card you used to rent the vehicle or you will be invoiced in the absence of a card on file. You authorize ATS to contact you directly regarding any tolls, toll violations, tickets, citations, fines and penalties incurred by you or assessed against us or to our vehicle while the vehicle was rented to you. In the event we use a third party collection and/or administrative agent, you agree to pay all costs and collection fees including, but not limited to, administrative and legal costs to such agent upon demand without protest. You agree to indemnify and hold us and ATS harmless for any tolls, tickets, citations, fines, penalties and administrative fees.

Video-Plate-Based Electronic Tolling

If you do not pay cash for tolls at an issuer-designated toll payment station, or if the roadway does not accept cash payment, once you pass through an in-network electronic toll, a photo will be taken of the license plate and you automatically opt into the PlatePass® toll service.

Transponder-Based Tolling

If the truck is equipped with an electronic toll collection device (transponder) operable with the toll road you are traveling and you wish to use the PlatePass® toll service, slide open the transponder box located on the windshield and drive through a designated transponder-based lane. If a transponder box is present and you do not wish to use the toll service, do not open the transponder box.

(“OVERHEAD” IS DEFINED AS ANY DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AT OR OVER THE HEIGHT OF THE DRIVING CAB.) YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT CDW, LDW AND/OR PDW WILL BE VOID AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF AND DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK (AS DESCRIBED ABOVE) IF THE TRUCK IS USED AS PROHIBITED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR IF YOU VIOLATE ANY OTHER MATERIAL PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

You are also responsible for and will pay us, as part of our loss, for: Any diminution in value of the Truck that remains after repair; actual towing, storage, impound and other related fees; plus our loss of use, based on reasonable downtime, and a reasonable administrative charge for expenses associated with processing the claim.

You further understand that those charges could exceed or be less than our actual cost for the parts, labor, or outside repairs.

If you are intending to assert a claim against Budget Truck, you must send the written notice of the claim to Attention: Budget Truck Rental, LLC, 6 Sylvan Way, Parsippany, New Jersey, 07054 Attn: Legal Department. If Budget Truck Rental is intending to assert a claim against you, we will send the written notice of the claim to you at your address appearing in our records.

Dispute Resolution: Except as otherwise provided below, in the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved informally through the pre-dispute resolution procedure, all disputes between you and Budget Truck Rental arising out of, relating to or in connection with your rental of a truck from Budget Truck Rental and these Rental Terms and Conditions shall be exclusively settled through binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to the AAA’s then-current rules for commercial arbitration. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court and review by a court is limited. YOU AND BUDGET TRUCK RENTAL AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, if the class-action waiver in the prior sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable, however, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration. If you are an individual (instead of, for instance, a partnership, corporation, or other form of entity or non-natural person), in the event that (1) your claim is less than $10,000, and (2) you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Budget Truck Rental will pay as much of your fi ling and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any provision in these rental terms and conditions to the contrary, we agree that if Budget Truck Rental seeks to delete or materially modify the agreement to arbitrate from this dispute resolution provision, any such deletion or material modification will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to Budget Truck Rental. Information on AAA, its rules and procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim can be found by contacting AAA at 800-778-7879 or on its website at http://www.adr.org. Disputes and claims that are within the scope of a small claims court’s authority, as well as disputes and claims regarding personal injury and/or damage to or loss of a vehicle related to your Budget Truck Rental, rentals are exempt from the foregoing dispute resolution provision.

Reservation Terms and Conditions
A reservation only guarantees the rate once confirmed with a credit card deposit, and shows a customer's preferences for a pick-up location, drop-off location, time of rental, date of rental and equipment type.

The pick-up location, drop-off location, time of rental and date of rental selected in a reservation is a preference only and, if a preference selected is not available, Budget Truck Rental ("BTR") reserves the right to offer a customer alternatives.

All equipment selected in a reservation is subject to availability at time of pickup. If the equipment requested is not available, BTR reserves the right to substitute equipment at no additional charge to the customer.

Rates reserved online do not include applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, additional accessories, protection plans purchased at time of rental, the required refundable deposit, moving supplies or other applicable charges. Charges will be provided at time of pickup.

If a customer needs to cancel or modify a reservation in any way, he/she must contact BTR at least 48 hours before the pick-up date and time listed on the Thank You page and in the confirmation email. A customer must contact either the BTR pick-up location provided on the Thank You page and in the confirmation email or call 1-800-462-8343.
