Please feel free to call us at 888-395-3900 to discuss these deposits. We will be happy to explain them to you. Thank You


CREDIT CARD INSURANCE

Most major credit cards such as Amex, Master Card, Visa, and Discover have Car Rental Insurance available at no charge as a courtesy to the credit card owner. Call your credit card company and ask them "Do I have car rental insurance on my card, and if yes, what is the limit?" and they will tell you. If you are covered, you may decline our insurance and you will be covered for collision damages or theft of our vehicle with no deductable. This is very good for you. BUT please remember. All Porsches, Corvette, Full Size SUV's, and in most cases vehicles with an original sticker price of over $50,000 will probably not be covered by the credit card. Some credit cards including American Express do have higher insurance coverages. American Express also has a higher level of insurance available. It is called Premium Car Rental Insurance. We recommend it very highly. It covers most all vehicles including many of the high end vehicles and full size SUV's and sports cars. Call AMEX and ask to be upgraded to this coverage id you need an exotic vehicle or large SUV. It's worth the phone call and to enoll in this Premium Car Rental Insurance.

The $300 deposit applys to compacts, midsize, and fullsize cars.

Deposits for Exotics / 15 Pass. Vans

In order to guarantee your reservation for an Exotic Vehicle or 15 Passenger Van, you must call our office and leave a credit card deposit for your reservation. We normally make a courtesy call to the telephone number that you supply us, but please do not depend on us to find you. Please call us after making the online reservation and confirm it with a deposit.
Due to the high demand for exotic vehicles and 15 passenger vans, confirming that the vehicle will be available for you requires that you also verbally speak with one of our reservations agents. The reservations agent will then check and verify that the vehicle is actually available for the date you requested. If it is available, you will then be asked to leave a deposit confirming your reservation. Unfortunatly without a deposit we will not be able to hold the vehicle for you.
Thank you.

So please do not remove the DVD from the special DVD player. Thank you.


Holding Your Reserved Vehicle

We at Action DISCOUNT Car Rentals will hold a confirmed vehicle reservation for not more than one half hour past the scheduled pick up time. Since there is usually such a high demand for EXOTIC vehicles, SUV's, and cars in Manhattan, we ask you to please call us at 888-395-3900 if you are going to be late by more than 1/2 hour.


Holiday period

During holiday periods discounts and coupon specials DO NOT apply. Holiday rates might be higher than internet prices and are NOT DISCOUNTABLE, and rates of cargo vans might be higher than posted on the internet. If your reservation is made within 4 weeks of a national holiday the posted internet price is not guaranteed, please call to confirm prices. During certain holiday periods such as Memorial Day, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Labor Day, and possibly other holidays, the minimum rental is 4 days. This means that if the vehicle is returned before the 4th day, the charge will still be the full holiday 4 day charge. Due to the many reservation requests during a holiday time, in order to confirm and hold your reservation, you must call in and give a deposit towards your rental. Without a deposit we cannot guarantee the reservation. For further information please call our office.
Also, please note that duting holiday periods, there is NO unlimited miles program. The rate that we will quote you will include 1000 miles. Any miles driven over the allowed 1000 miles during the holiday period will be subject to a charge of $.40/mile. If you know that you will need additional miles, please advise us as soon as possible and the management might be able to create a special program for your needs. Thank you.


HOLIDAY RATES

DURING A 2, 3, OR 4 DAY HOLIDAY PERIOD, UNLESS WE SPECIFICALLY WRITE OTHERWISE ON YOUR CONTRACT, THE RATE QUOTED TO YOU WILL NOT CHANGE IF YOU DECIDE TO RETURN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE DATE/TIME PRINTED ON YOUR CONTRACT.
FOR EXAMPLE: IF YOU RENT A VEHICLE DURING THE THANKSGIVING 4 DAY HOLIDAY PERIOD, YOUR RENTAL CHARGE WILL BE THE SAME IF YOU KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR 1, 2, 3, OR 4 DAYS. HOLIDAY PERIODS INCLUDE LABOR DAY, MEMORIAL DAY, THANKSGIVING, 4TH OF JULY, CHRISTMAS, ETC.
DURING A 4 DAY HOLIDAY THE RATES IS ALWAYS A 4 CHARGE AND NO DISCOUNT MAY BE APPLIED TO THAT RATE. AT VERY INFREQUENT TIMES, DUE TO TECHNICAL REASONS THE INTERNET RATE MIGHT NOT BE REFLECTIVE OF A 4 DAY HOLIDAY. FOR EXAMPLE, THE INTERNET RATE MIGHT BE DISPLAYED AS A 1 OR 2 DAY RATE. THIS WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ERROR AND WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT A RESERVATION WITH THE 1 OR 2 DAY PRICE. WE WOULD THEN NOTIFY YOU BY PHONE OR VIA E-MAIL AND ADVISE YOU OF THE CORRECT HOLIDAY RATES. YOU WOULD THEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO FINALIZE THE RESERVATION WITH OUR FRIENDLY SALES AGENT.
THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT.


International Drivers

International drivers welcome. We DO ACCEPT foreign drivers license from many countries, and of course all international licenses are accepted. Please call Action Discount Car Rentals with any concerns. Drivers with foreign licenses, must bring their passport, or visa. If you are living in the USA whether permanently or temporarily, you must also bring with you proof of where you reside. This might be a telephone bill or a pay stub. We must be able to identify your place of residence while in the USA. These requirement are due to homeland security issues. If you are staying with family or friends while in the USA, you must supply us with their address and valid telephone number. Thank you for your cooperation.


Insurance Policies and Surcharges

There is optional vehicle protection available to cover the renters financial responsibility for damage or loss to the vehicle. This coverage, CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) is optional and may be declined. There are several options that you might have. Many credit cards today give car rental insurance at no charge. Your own automobile policy from home or business might also cover car rentals. It is wise to call these institutions and inquire if you have car rental insurance. If you do have this insurance, then you do not and should not purchase insurance from us. But if you have a debit or bank card, these cards DO NOT cover car rentals. Also 15 Passenger vans, Full size SUV's, and some sports cars are NOT covered by any credit cards unless you join the American Express Premium Car Rental Insurance (this is a fantastic plan that will cover most all vehicles and we highly recommend it) . If you rent any one of the above vehicles or any luxury or exotic vehicle from our fleet, and do not supply your own insurance, you will be required to purchase CDW insurance in order to reduce your exposure to extreme potential losses. If you need further explanation, we will gladly discuss it with you.
In some circumstances we reserve the right not to rent a specific vehicle unless the renter supplys us with proof of self insurance.


In-Town Special

In-Town specials or other vehicles which are priced at $40 or less are limited to 100 per day. If you will be driving over 100 miles per day, the rate will be changed to either the regular printed price sheet price per day or you will be charged for mileage over the initial 100 miles traveled per day, whichever is higher. So, please, if you intend to drive over 100 miles, just tell us and we will give you the appropriate car for your needs and give you the most economical rate. Thanks.


Internet Rate Guarantee

Our internet website prices are often Discounted from normal prices. The discounted rates are guaranteed to you subject to the rental policies on this list. Should you cause an exception, the rate might be different. Please print out and bring in your online reservation if possible. On holidays, and weekend rentals (april-november) discount coupons are not valid unless authorized by our management in writing.


Late Hours

All rentals cars in Manhattan are calculated by a 24 hours clock. There is a 1 HOUR GRACE period. But, if you exceed the 24 hour period by more than 1 hour, a per hours late charge will apply to each hour late (starting from the first late hour) until you reach the daily rate. When the total late fee reaches the additional day rate, you will be charged only an additional day. The late fee policy will then apply on the next day if needed. We at Action Discount Car Rentals want you to feel comfortable with your rental. So, if there are any questions regarding overtime, please call us and we will be happy to help you.


Long Distance Travel Over 350 miles radius

Our travel radius policy is very simple. If you will be traveling a "longer distance" away from our office than 350 miles radius, you must notify us at the time of reservation. The reason for this is that our rates for a "long distance" rental plus mileage rates might be different than those quoted you on the internet or by our agents. In addition, if you rented a vehicle and after taking the vehicle, only then decided to change your travel plans and go on a "long distance" drive, you will still be expected to notify our office so that we can review your rental contract and possibly change the rental and mileage rateif applicable.


Management Override

In some cases when renting a car, the customer might have needs or concerns regarding one or more of our policies. This is understandable. So, at Action DISCOUNT Car Rentals we are here to help. One of the Owners or Managers is always available to speak with you and if need be override or change a policy to meet your needs. Your satisfaction is our concern.


Miles Restrictions

On other vehicle that usually are not limited to daily mileage, if your rental is 3 or 4 days or less, including all holiday periods, you are limited to not more than 1000 miles total for the 3 or 4 days at no charge. Any miles driven over the 1000 miles will be subject to a mileage charge of 40 cents per mile. If you intend on traveling on a longer distance trip where the distance from our office is 350 miles or more, please let us know ahead of time, or at the time of your reservation. Our policy is that mid size and compacts do not travel to distances further than 350 miles away from our location. We will be more than happy to create a special package that will include all the necessary miles and the appropriate car that you will need, at a special price for you.
Please note that if your rental will be over 600 miles, In-town specials and any discounts from our printed price sheets are only available with managers written approval. If you will be traveling outside the tri-state area, please note that you must notify us of your destination, and that you will be limited to 300 miles per day included in the rental rate, (on any of our non-exotic vehicles)and that there will be a mileage charge for each mile driven over the alloted 300 miles per day.

Rates Printed on Rental Agreement

We at Action Car Rental are proud of our very competitive rates for our retail customers as well as our corporate accounts. The rates printed on your Rental Agreement are ONLY valid until the Due Back date printed. If any renter, whether retail or corporate, extends the rental past the rental Due Back date printed on the Rental Agreement (contract) and returns the vehicle on a later date than the one printed on his/her original Rental Agreement, the additional days past the printed "Due Back" date will be priced at the higher full price rate displayed in our office price sheet. If any renter extends his/her rental past the Due Back date and those extended days fall into a weekend (friday, saturday, sunday) or into a holiday period such as any federal holiday plus others, the renter WILL BE RESPONSIBLE for the full rental policy and prices of that weekend or holiday. Please be advised that some weekends and holiday rentals policies might include substantially higher rates than our normal price sheet rates plus a minimum rental charge of 3 or 4 days if the rental spans over the holiday period. No exceptions can be made to this policy unless it is in written form and an updated Rental Agreement approved by our manager. So, please return your vehicle at the agreed upon date printed on your Rental Agreement.


Reservation cancelation

Please be advised that if you need to cancel your weekend reservation for a non-exotic vehicle we require that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance for a Friday pickup, or by Thursday 7:00PM for a Saturday or Sunday pickup. If canceling in less time than stated above there will be a cancelation charge that you will be responsible for. On non-exotic cars the cancelation charge for a weekend is the 1 day advertised internet weekend rate. On holiday rentals the charge is your full holiday rental rate. This is due to the extreme shortage of vehicles in New York during holiday periods.
For exotic vehicles and 15 passenger vans the charge is the 1 day internet rate for your pickup date and time. This includes weekend and weekday rentals. Holiday cancelation will be charged the full reservation rate.
So please, if you must cancel, call ahead in plenty of time, and speak to an agent, ask for her first name, and agent number, and cancelation number. Or, e-mail us at action.office@gmail.com
Thanks for your cooperation.


Rental Extension rates

If the renter, whether retail or corporate, extends the rental period to a new date past the original return date on the rental agreement, no matter the reason, this will automatically void any special pricing or rate that was associated with the original rental length, and the normal printed price sheet rental rate will then be applied to the total rental time starting from the first day of the original rental agreement. In other words; for example; if the renter was given a 2 day special price that included a certain % discount, and then decided to extend the rental to 5 days, then the % discount will no longer be valid and the total rental will be calculated by the regular printed price sheet price. Any exception must be given by the manager in writing.


Spare Tire and Jack

Each one of our vehicles is equipped with a spare tire (unless the vehicle has runflat tires), and a jack and lug wrench. It is the sole responsibility of the renter to replace the tire with the spare provided in case of a flat tire. We do not give flat tire replacement service. The renter is also responsible for the cost of the replacement tire. Unforetunately there is sometimes road hazzar, but we cannot assume responsibility for the damage caused to the tires and rims. Please drive carefully and be aware of streets ahead of you.


Summons payment responsibility

The renter is fully and totally responsible for any parking, traffic, and E-Z PASS summonses during the time of the rental. If you ignire and not pay any summonses you receive, we will be obligeted to send your summonses to a company that charges a service fee to collect our tickets charges and bill you on YOUR credit card. There fee is $40 over and above the fee for the summons plus any additional late fees or other service charges administered by NYC or any other municipality that issued the summons. This could cost you alot more than the original ticket. So please don't get a ticket, but if you do, please pay it timely in order to avoid all the other charges that you will have to pay anyway. If you try to avoid paying summonses, you will only pay alot more later. There is no escape from paying summonses. Please take our advise. We know and we're trying to help you.

Cargo vans must have the manager's written permission to travel outside NY state. We will be able to create a special milage program just for you. We want to make sure that you get the proper vehicle with roadside assistance for your long journey outside the state. Your safety and comfort on long distance and all trips is our concern. So please, let us help you by offering the proper vehicle for your needs. Thank You.
