• On the day of rental, a security deposit will be held on your credit card until the GoCar is returned.
• Renters will have the option to purchase Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance on the day of rental.
• Renters are free to extend the length of their tour on the day of rental. Additional rental time will be charged in 15-minute increments.
• You don’t have to stay on route; you can go FREESTYLE if you want to, no problem. But the car only talks on the designated routes.
• All vehicles are covered by a liability policy for the legal state minimums that provide 3rd parties around you with coverage in event of an accident. Your rental agreement however, excludes our renters from accessing that policy. So you may be liable for damages or losses that occur during your rental. We offer you extra insurance options to manage your liability that your rental may incur such as a CDW and SLI. Ask our agents about these options when you arrive.

If you have any unused Experience Vouchers, you can exchange them for anything else in our marketplace, no matter when. If you choose an experience that's more expensive, you'll need to pay the difference, but if you choose one that costs less, you'll receive a credit towards your next booking.

No refunds are allowed once the experience is booked, but you can reschedule up to 7 days before your experience, for a date within a year of the original booking. To reschedule, contact the experience provider directly. No-shows or rescheduling less than 7 days in advance means losing the value of your experience.
