⚡ Quick Answers to Common Policy Questions

Direct answers to the questions renters ask most, each linked to the full clause below.

How do I cancel my Amped Auto Rentals reservation?

Email [email protected]. Cancel within 15 minutes of booking or 48+ hours before start: full refund of trip price and delivery fee. Cancel 24–48 hours before start: trip price refunded minus one average day’s cost, delivery fee refunded at 50%. Less than 24 hours before start: no refund. See Section 12(a).

Do I need to fill out a credit card authorization form?

Yes — on every rental, without exception, whether or not the cardholder is the driver. Print the form, complete it by hand and sign it. If you booked more than 24 hours before handoff, email it to [email protected] at least 24 hours before delivery. If you booked within 24 hours of handoff, all required documents must be received and verified before the Vehicle is released — handing documents to the driver does not by itself guarantee immediate release. No vehicle is released until the form and its attachments are received and verified. See Section 6(c).

What is the security deposit?

Amped Auto Rentals collects a $250 security deposit at booking for normal local rentals. Tesla and electric vehicle rentals, monthly rentals, out-of-state travel and trips more than 300 miles from the pickup location may require a higher refundable security deposit, collected before the Vehicle is released. Applicable charges — Tesla Supercharging, tolls, missing fuel, late fees, cleaning and other authorized amounts — are reconciled against it during and after the rental, and the remaining unused balance is refunded. The deposit is not a cap on what you owe. See Section 11.

Do monthly Tesla rentals or long-distance trips need a bigger deposit?

Usually, yes. Monthly Tesla and electric vehicle rentals (30 days or longer) require a refundable security deposit of $500 or higher. For approved trips more than 300 miles from the pickup location, the minimum is set by the farthest planned distance — from $750 for 301–750 miles up to $2,000 or more beyond 2,500 miles — and any approved travel outside Florida carries a minimum of $500. Increased deposits are refundable, subject to unpaid charges. See Sections 11(d) and 11(e).

How many miles are included?

Every rental includes 300 miles per rental day unless the Rental Agreement states otherwise. An Unlimited Mileage option may be available for eligible vehicles and qualifying reservations at the rate displayed at booking — currently $25 per day for eligible rentals of 14 days or less. See Section 8(s).

Can I smoke in a rental vehicle?

No. All Amped Auto Rentals vehicles are non-smoking and non-vaping. Where smoking, vaping, or resulting smoke or vapor contamination is documented in the Vehicle, a $400 Smoking/Remediation Fee may apply. Physical damage caused by smoking or vaping may be handled separately under the damage provisions. See Section 7.

Does Amped Auto Rentals deliver to hotels and airports?

Yes. Amped Auto Rentals is delivery-focused and delivers to MIA, FLL, hotels, Airbnbs, homes and offices across Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County. Designated scheduled self-pickup may also be available by arrangement. Amped does not operate a walk-in rental counter.

What is the late return fee?

1 hour late: $30 flat fee. More than 3 hours late: full additional rental day. Contact Amped Auto Rentals before your return time to arrange an extension. See Section 4(d).

What ID do I need to rent?

Valid, unexpired driver's license. Minimum age 21. Identity verified via Vouched — license, date of birth, and live photo. See Section 6.

Who pays for Tesla Supercharging on an Amped Tesla?

Each Amped Tesla stays connected to Amped Auto Rentals’ Tesla account, so Supercharging sessions are billed by Tesla through Amped rather than paid by you at the charger. Those charges are your responsibility and are reconciled against your security deposit under Section 11. Supercharging charges may post after the session, sometimes after the Vehicle is returned; you remain responsible for them. You do not add the vehicle to a personal Tesla account. See Section 8(i).

Can Amped require an additional security deposit during my rental?

Yes. If authorized charges — Tesla Supercharging, tolls or other amounts — materially reduce or exhaust the available balance of your security deposit, Amped Auto Rentals may request an additional security deposit during the rental and will notify you of the amount. This mid-rental top-up is based on the available balance and the charges against it. It is separate from the deposit amount set before release, which may be higher for Tesla and EV, monthly, out-of-state and long-distance rentals. See Sections 11(b) and 11(c).

What is Skip the Recharge?

An optional $40 per rental add-on. With it, you do not perform the final recharge before returning the EV and no Recharge Service Fee applies, provided the vehicle is returned at 20% or higher. It does not cover charging you use during the rental. See Section 8(m).

What happens if the exact vehicle I reserved is not available?

Amped reserves a specific vehicle and will make reasonable efforts to provide it. If it becomes unavailable — accident, mechanical issue, recall, a late return by a prior renter — Amped contacts you and may offer a replacement. You are not required to accept a materially different vehicle; if you decline or none is available, the booking is cancelled by Amped and fully refunded. See Section 4(g).

Are pets allowed in Amped rental vehicles?

Yes. Pets are permitted and there is no fee simply for bringing one. You are responsible for documented pet-related cleaning or damage beyond ordinary use — excessive hair, stains, odors, bodily fluids, scratches or chewing. Cleaning follows the published schedule (pet hair is $150); physical damage is handled under the damage provisions. See Section 5(j).

What is the fuel policy for gasoline vehicles?

Return a gasoline vehicle with at least the fuel level documented at the start of your rental; a full tank is not promised unless documented for that rental. Fuel you buy during the trip is your own expense. If the vehicle comes back below the documented level, you owe the actual reasonable cost of the missing fuel plus a $25 Refueling Service Fee. Returning it with more fuel than it started with earns no refund or credit. See Section 8(a)–8(c).

What happens if I return an EV with a low battery?

Return at 75% or higher and no Recharge Service Fee applies. 20–74%: $35 Recharge Service Fee. Below 20%: $60 Low-Battery Recharge Service Fee. Add Skip the Recharge for $40 and the $35 fee is waived provided you return at 20% or higher; below 20% the $60 fee still applies. See Section 8(l).

Can I take the car out of Florida?

Only with prior written approval, given before the rental begins. Any trip more than 300 miles from your pickup location — inside or outside Florida — must also be disclosed and approved in advance, and may require a higher refundable security deposit. Operation in Mexico is prohibited. Unauthorized out-of-state operation is a material breach and may eliminate protections under this Agreement or an Amped-offered protection product. See Sections 7(a) and 7(g) and Section 11(e).

How will the charge appear on my statement?

Charges appear as AMPED AUTO RENTALS and/or CLEAR BRIGHT & SMART DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS LLC. If you do not recognize a charge, contact Amped Auto Rentals at (786) 981-1177 so it can be identified and explained. See Section 10(a).

How do I opt out of SMS messages from Amped Auto Rentals?

Reply STOP to any SMS from Amped Auto Rentals to unsubscribe from marketing messages. Reply HELP for help. Message frequency varies. Message & data rates may apply. See Section 17.

Will I get SMS messages if I booked through Turo?

Yes — for trip logistics. Turo's terms authorize hosts to text guests for delivery coordination, arrival updates, and return reminders. Promotional messages require separate opt-in. Reply STOP anytime to opt out. See Section 17(a-2).

What happens if you drive a rental car out of state?

Taking the Vehicle outside Florida without prior written approval is a material breach. It may eliminate protections under this Agreement or an Amped-offered protection product; coverage under your own policy is determined by that policy and applicable law. You become responsible for all reasonable costs to recover the Vehicle and return it to Miami-Dade County: travel for our personnel or an agent, towing and transport, storage, Loss of Use for each day the Vehicle reasonably cannot be rented, reasonable documented administrative time, and collection or legal costs recoverable under applicable law. Telling us the car is out of state does not transfer the obligation to bring it back. If the Vehicle is not redelivered at the end of the term, Florida Statutes §817.52(3) and §812.155 also apply — see Section 20. See Section 7(a).

Can I return the car to a different location?

Yes, with Amped’s prior approval, when both locations are inside the approved 50-mile South Florida service area — for example, MIA to FLL or a hotel to an airport. No additional one-way surcharge applies. Delivery and collection is $120 for rentals under 7 days and free for rentals of 7 days or more. A location outside the approved service area requires prior approval and a separately quoted arrangement, and the Vehicle must remain within Florida unless Amped gives prior written approval. Returning the Vehicle to an unapproved location is a contractual breach and may result in reasonable documented recovery-related costs where authorized by this Agreement. It is not automatically treated as statutory non-return. See Section 4(f).

What happens if a rental car is not returned in Florida?

Return the Vehicle at the agreed time and place. If something goes wrong — a delay, a breakdown, a change of plan — contact Amped Auto Rentals immediately at (786) 981-1177; an extension only exists once Amped approves it. A late return is not automatically a crime. Where a Vehicle is not redelivered and the statutory requirements are met, Florida law is serious: under §817.52(3) abandoning or willfully refusing to redeliver a hired vehicle, without consent and with intent to defraud, is a third-degree felony, and §812.155 sets out the written-demand procedure and the evidentiary consequences of not responding to it. See Section 20.

Do I need my own insurance to rent from Amped Auto Rentals?

Every renter must have automobile insurance that includes comprehensive and collision coverage and extends to the Amped rental vehicle, verified before release. Verification is done through Canopy Connect, which is a verification method rather than insurance. If your policy does not provide that coverage for the rental vehicle, you must purchase the applicable Bonzah rental protection coverage, at $50.13/day where available, before the vehicle is released. Florida law separately governs liability and personal injury protection. See Section 9.

How much is delivery, and is it free?

Delivery and collection are free on rentals of 7 days or more within 50 miles of Miami Gardens, Florida 33056. On rentals shorter than 7 days a flat $120 covers both the drop-off and the collection. Amped delivers to MIA and FLL airports, PortMiami and Port Everglades, hotels, Airbnbs, offices and homes across Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County. See Section 4.

What does a Florida rental company have to verify before renting you a car?

Under Florida Statute §322.38, a rental company may not rent to anyone who is not duly licensed, and must inspect the driver license and verify that it is unexpired. The company must also keep a record of the vehicle’s registration number, the renter’s name and address, the license number, and where the license was issued — open to inspection by law enforcement. Where the renter takes possession without in-person contact with an Amped agent, §322.38(4) contemplates that the required verification may be completed in advance at booking. Amped Auto Rentals verifies through Vouched before delivery. See Section 6(b).

What is a Miami-Dade rental car company required to give you?

Under Miami-Dade County Code §8A-1.1, a rental car company renting cars in Miami-Dade County must make a County-approved Visitor Information Map available to each visitor renter; Amped provides it electronically because it has no public rental facility. Child restraints are governed separately by Florida Statute §316.613, and a child safety seat may be available at $10/day, subject to availability. Every Amped vehicle carries an active SunPass transponder, with tolls passed through at cost and no toll administrative fee. See Section 20.

2Who Is Amped Auto Rentals?

Amped Auto Rentals is a delivery-focused EV and mixed-fleet vehicle rental service. Designated scheduled self-pickup may also be available by arrangement. Amped Auto Rentals is a registered Fictitious Name (DBA) of Clear, Bright & Smart Diversified Holdings LLC, a Florida limited liability company based in Miami Gardens, Florida. We are accredited by the Better Business Bureau and serve Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County with the Tesla Model Y, Tesla Model 3, Chevrolet Equinox EV, Nissan Pathfinder, and Nissan Rogue.

We deliver directly to your location through our South Florida delivery service. We do not operate a physical rental counter, storefront, or walk-in location.

We reserve the right to modify, reject, or cancel any booking. If we cancel a confirmed, paid booking for reasons not caused by your breach, you will receive a full refund. We make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the Vehicle.

3Telematics, GPS & Data Disclosure

You acknowledge that the Vehicle may be equipped with GPS tracking, telematics systems, event data recorders, and/or video/audio recording systems (including dashcam and Sentry Mode on Tesla vehicles). Amped may use these systems to locate, monitor or remotely access the Vehicle where reasonably necessary for the purposes described below, to the extent permitted by law.

If you connect your smartphone or other device to the Vehicle's infotainment system, you are solely responsible for unpairing your device and deleting all personal data from the Vehicle's systems before returning it.

You consent to our collection and use of vehicle telematics data — including location, speed, battery level, odometer readings, and diagnostic data — for fleet management, mileage tracking, and enforcement of this Agreement.

Telematics as evidence. Telematics records — including GPS coordinates, timestamps, odometer readings, state of charge, diagnostic status and vehicle operation logs — may be used as evidence of vehicle location, mileage, state of charge, diagnostic status, delivery, operation or return where relevant, including in response to a payment dispute, chargeback or legal proceeding. Amped uses telematics for fleet management, vehicle location, mileage verification, theft and recovery, maintenance, safety, enforcement of this Agreement and dispute documentation.

4Delivery, Return & No-Show Policy

We deliver to Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Miami Gardens, Wynwood, and Boca Raton & Delray Beach.

Service area. Amped Auto Rentals delivers to any address within 50 miles of Miami Gardens, Florida 33056, across Miami-Dade County, Broward County and qualifying parts of Palm Beach County. This includes Miami International Airport (MIA), Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), PortMiami and Port Everglades, hotels, Airbnbs, offices and private residences. Delivery outside the 50-mile service area is not offered.

Delivery fee. Delivery and collection are free on rentals of 7 days or more within the 50-mile service area. On rentals shorter than 7 days a flat $120 delivery fee applies, covering both the delivery and the collection. Delivery to a cruise terminal is arranged in advance and may be curbside or at a nearby garage depending on terminal access on your sailing date.

4(a) — Delivery & Vehicle Condition Report

An Authorized Driver must be present at the agreed delivery location and time. We will conduct a brief vehicle orientation, approximately 10 minutes.

Vehicle condition is recorded at delivery on the Amped Auto Rentals Vehicle Condition Report and supported by time-stamped photographs. You are responsible for inspecting the Vehicle and noting any pre-existing damage on that report before our driver departs. Damage not recorded on the Vehicle Condition Report at delivery will be treated as having occurred during your rental. You will be given a copy of the completed report.

The same report is completed again at collection, recording odometer, battery level, condition and accessories returned, and is supported by time-stamped photographs. Where you are not present at collection, our driver completes the report and photographs the Vehicle, and a copy is emailed to you the same day.

4(b) — Delivery No-Show

If no Authorized Driver is present within 30 minutes of the scheduled time, Amped attempts to reach you. After 60 minutes with no contact, Amped may cancel the delivery, and the reservation is then handled under the cancellation and no-show provisions in Section 12(c). Separately authorized third-party expenses incurred for the attempted delivery, such as applicable airport parking, remain your responsibility where this Agreement permits. No separate no-show administrative fee applies.

4(c) — Return

You must make the Vehicle available for retrieval at the agreed location and time, in the same condition as delivered (ordinary wear excepted). All keys, charging cables, adapters, and accessories must be returned.

4(d) — Late Return Fee

If the Vehicle is not made available within 1 hour of the scheduled return time without prior notice, a $30 late fee applies. Delays exceeding 3 hours are billed as a full additional rental day.

4(g) — Vehicle Availability & Substitution

Amped Auto Rentals reserves a specific Vehicle rather than a vehicle class, and will make reasonable efforts to provide the Vehicle reserved. The reserved Vehicle may nevertheless become unavailable because of an accident, mechanical failure, safety concern, recall, maintenance, damage, delayed return by a prior renter, theft, government or manufacturer restriction, or another circumstance reasonably preventing its release.

If that occurs, Amped will contact you and may offer an available replacement Vehicle. You are not required to accept a materially different Vehicle. If Amped cannot provide the reserved Vehicle and you decline the replacement offered, or no replacement is available, the reservation is treated as an Amped-initiated cancellation under Section 12(e) and you receive a full refund. No cancellation charge applies to you in that circumstance.

4(h) — Vehicle Exchange During a Rental

Amped may require an exchange of the Vehicle during an active rental where reasonably necessary for scheduled maintenance, safety, a recall, inspection, a mechanical concern, tire replacement, a registration issue, a manufacturer requirement, repair or fleet operational necessity. You must reasonably cooperate with a requested exchange, and Amped will make reasonable efforts to minimize disruption and to arrange the exchange at a time and place convenient to you.

A replacement Vehicle receives its own documented condition, odometer reading, fuel level or state of charge, and supplied charging equipment and accessories. Those documented values then govern that Vehicle for the remainder of the rental. No exchange fee applies.

4(i) — Return Inspection, Including Unattended Returns

Where you and an Amped representative inspect the Vehicle together at collection, condition is documented on the Vehicle Condition Report. Where the Vehicle is left unattended at an agreed return location, Amped conducts the return inspection within a reasonable period after recovering or accessing the Vehicle and documents condition using time-stamped photographs or video, the Vehicle Condition Report, telematics records where relevant, and other reasonable documentation.

A condition identified after an unattended return is chargeable only where the available documentation reasonably shows it arose during your rental. Ordinary wear resulting from normal use of the Vehicle — including light road film, ordinary interior use, minor stone chips consistent with ordinary highway driving and normal tire tread wear — is not chargeable damage.

4(j) — Long-Term & Extended Rentals

On rentals of 30 days or longer, and on rentals extended to that length, you must reasonably cooperate with Amped regarding scheduled maintenance, tire inspection or replacement, recalls, safety inspections, registration requirements, vehicle exchanges under Section 4(h), reverification of insurance where reasonably required, and periodic mileage or condition checks where reasonably required. Amped will give reasonable notice and will schedule these at a mutually workable time.

Long-term rentals may require a higher refundable security deposit before the Vehicle is released under Section 11(c), and monthly Tesla and electric vehicle rentals are subject to Section 11(d). Separately, additional security under Section 11(b) may apply during an extended rental where authorized charges materially reduce or exhaust the available security-deposit balance; rental length alone does not trigger that additional security.

4(k) — Recalls & Safety Removal from Service

If Amped learns of a recall or safety issue requiring the Vehicle to be removed from service, Amped may require that you stop operating the Vehicle where appropriate, return it, or exchange it under Section 4(h). You must reasonably cooperate. Amped will make reasonable efforts to provide a replacement Vehicle where one is available, and where no replacement is available the unused portion of the rental is refunded under Section 12(e).

4(e) — Extensions

Requesting an extension does not extend the rental. An extension takes effect only when Amped approves it and any additional rental charges and payment-authorization requirements are satisfied; it is subject to vehicle availability. Continuing to keep the Vehicle after the scheduled return time without an approved extension is not an extension. Where a Vehicle is not made available at all at the end of the rental period, the statutory non-return procedures in Section 20 may become relevant; those procedures have their own statutory prerequisites and are not triggered merely by lateness. Returning the Vehicle to an unapproved location is a contractual breach, not statutory non-return, and may result in reasonable documented recovery-related costs where this Agreement authorizes them.

SituationFee
Delivery no-showNo separate fee; the cancellation and no-show policy in Section 12(c) applies
Late return (1–3 hours past scheduled pickup)$30 flat
Late return (3+ hours past scheduled pickup)Full additional day rate
4(f) — Different Pickup and Return Locations

Amped Auto Rentals permits a return to a location other than the pickup location when both locations are within Amped’s approved 50-mile South Florida service area and the arrangement is approved in advance. Approved combinations include MIA to FLL, FLL to MIA, PortMiami to FLL, Port Everglades to MIA, hotel to airport and airport to hotel, among others. No additional one-way surcharge applies to an approved different-location return within the service area.

Advance approval is required, and not every location inside the service area is automatically available. A location outside the approved service area requires prior approval and a separately quoted arrangement.

The delivery and collection charge is based on rental duration, not on whether the return location differs from the pickup location: $120 for rentals under 7 days, and no charge for rentals of 7 days or more. Airport parking, tolls and other authorized rental charges remain separate. At an airport, you pay the applicable garage exit charge at pickup and Amped handles the applicable exit charge when recovering the Vehicle after return; that parking charge is not a one-way fee.

5Responsibility for Damage, Loss & Theft

You are responsible for damage to, and loss or theft of, the Vehicle occurring between delivery and collection, to the extent that responsibility is properly due under this Agreement, under any applicable insurance or protection arrangement, and under applicable law. Responsibility for particular events is allocated by cause elsewhere in this Section — see Section 5(f) for tires and wheels, Section 5(g) for towing and impound, Section 5(i) for theft, and Section 7(b) for water damage. Ordinary weather exposure during normal use is not by itself a chargeable event; unreasonable operation through known floodwater or other prohibited conditions is.

Your financial responsibility includes:

  • The full cost of repair, or the actual cash retail value of the Vehicle if not repairable
  • Loss of Use for each day the Vehicle is reasonably out of service, supported by documentation
  • Diminished Value
  • Our reasonable administrative costs for processing the claim

You must report all accidents, theft, and vandalism to us and to local law enforcement immediately upon discovery. Failure to report may void any applicable coverage.

5(b) — If You Have an Accident

After any collision, however minor, you must: protect human safety first; call emergency services where reasonably necessary or legally required; notify Amped Auto Rentals promptly at (786) 981-1177; give accurate information; obtain the other driver’s name, contact, insurance and vehicle information where applicable; obtain witness information where reasonably available; take reasonable photographs or video where it is safe to do so; provide the police report or report number where applicable; cooperate with Amped, its insurers and claims administrators; and preserve relevant documents and communications.

You are not asked to determine or admit fault. You must not conceal the accident, make unauthorized repairs, abandon the Vehicle, dispose of damaged Amped property, or make any settlement or release on Amped’s behalf.

5(c) — Theft, Vandalism, Break-In & Hit-and-Run

If the Vehicle is stolen, an attempted theft occurs, the Vehicle is vandalised or broken into, a component or charging equipment is stolen, a key, fob or key card is stolen, or the Vehicle is struck by an unidentified driver, you must notify Amped Auto Rentals promptly and report the matter to law enforcement where appropriate. You must reasonably cooperate with the investigation and with claims handling, including providing a report number where one is issued.

Filing a police report does not by itself determine responsibility. Responsibility is determined under this Agreement, any applicable protection product and applicable law.

5(d) — Warning Lights & When to Stop Driving

Notify Amped Auto Rentals promptly if the Vehicle displays or develops a potentially significant condition — including a check-engine, oil-pressure, brake-system, coolant, charging-system, high-voltage or collision-system warning; a severe tire-pressure warning or damaged tire; abnormal vibration or unusual mechanical noise; loss of power; smoke; a burning odour; or a fluid leak.

Stop operating the Vehicle and contact Amped for instructions where the Vehicle instructs you to stop, where continued operation would be obviously unsafe, or where continued operation could reasonably cause additional damage. You are not expected to diagnose the Vehicle.

5(e) — Repairs Require Approval

Do not authorize or perform material repairs or work on the Vehicle without Amped’s prior approval. This includes mechanical repairs, tire replacement, wheel repair, windshield replacement, body repair, battery replacement, high-voltage or charging-system work, towing and aftermarket modification. The only exception is immediate reasonable action necessary to protect human safety or to prevent imminent additional damage where Amped cannot first be reached.

Where Amped authorizes work you pay for, obtain prior approval where reasonably possible, keep an itemized receipt and supporting documentation, and return replaced parts where Amped reasonably requests it and it is practical to do so. Amped does not reimburse unauthorized work.

5(f) — Tires, Wheels & Road Hazards

Ordinary mechanical or tire failure that is not caused by misuse is Amped’s responsibility. You may be responsible for tire or wheel damage caused by curb impact, by continuing to drive on a visibly flat tire or after a low-pressure or damage warning, by unauthorized tire replacement, or by prohibited use under Section 7. Not every flat tire is your responsibility.

5(g) — Towing, Impound & Recovery

Responsibility for towing, impound, storage and recovery depends on the cause. You are responsible where the event arises from illegal parking, a citation or impound attributable to your use, prohibited use under Section 7, running out of fuel or charge under Sections 8(f) and 8(n), or a collision for which you are responsible under this Agreement. You are not responsible for towing caused solely by a mechanical failure of the Vehicle that is not attributable to your use. Contact Amped Auto Rentals before arranging towing whenever circumstances permit.

5(h) — Keys, Access Credentials & Supplied Accessories

Keys, fobs, Tesla key cards, digital-key access, lockbox codes and other access credentials must be reasonably safeguarded. You must not intentionally duplicate a physical access device, must not give Vehicle access to anyone who is not an Authorized Driver, must promptly report a lost or stolen credential, and must return supplied physical devices with the Vehicle.

A Tesla digital key authorizes operation of the Vehicle only. It does not transfer ownership, transfer or alter Amped’s Tesla account, or authorize account-level changes; see Section 8(i).

Supplied accessories — charging adapters and cords, child seats, lockboxes where provided and other equipment issued with the Vehicle — remain Amped property, are documented at handoff where practical, and must be returned. Where a credential or accessory is lost, damaged or not returned, you may be responsible for the reasonable actual cost of replacement, programming, locksmith, retrieval, delivery or recovery properly due under this Agreement. Section 8(i) sets the Tesla key card and fob replacement amount.

5(j) — Pets

Pets are permitted in Amped Auto Rentals vehicles. No fee applies merely because a pet is transported.

You are responsible for documented pet-related cleaning or damage beyond ordinary rental use, including excessive pet hair, stains, odors, bodily fluids, scratches, chewing and other pet-related contamination or damage. Cleaning charges follow the published cleaning schedule in Section 10(e); physical damage is handled under the damage provisions of this Section. Amped does not charge both a cleaning charge and a damage charge for the same condition unless they represent separate documented costs. Service animals are handled in accordance with applicable law.

5(i) — Reasonable Vehicle Security

When leaving the Vehicle unattended, close the windows, close and lock the doors and cargo area, safeguard the keys and access credentials, and park lawfully. Theft alone does not automatically make you responsible for the Vehicle; responsibility is determined under this Agreement, any applicable protection product and applicable law.

5(a) — Tolls, Tickets & Traffic Violations

You are responsible for parking violations, traffic citations, civil penalties, camera-enforcement violations and similar violations attributable to the Vehicle during your rental, together with related court costs and penalties. Where a citation or violation requires administrative handling by Amped, a $25 administrative processing fee per underlying citation or violation applies in addition to the underlying amount. Multiple notices concerning the same underlying violation do not create multiple administrative fees.

Ordinary tolls are different. Routine tolls processed through Amped Auto Rentals’ SunPass account are passed through to you at cost. The $25 citation administrative fee does not apply merely because an ordinary toll was processed through SunPass.

6Identity Verification & Booking Requirements

By booking with Amped Auto Rentals, you consent to identity verification — including your driver's license, date of birth, and payment method — as a condition of your rental. We use Vouched, a third-party identity verification service. Renter must be at least 21 years of age and must have held a valid driver's license for at least 2 years. Renters aged 21–24 may be subject to a young driver surcharge, disclosed at booking.

6(b) — Driver License Verification & Statutory Records (Fla. Stat. §322.38)

Florida Statute §322.38 governs the rental of a motor vehicle to another person. Amped may not rent to anyone who is not duly licensed, or — if a non-resident — licensed under the laws of their state or country of residence. Before delivery, Amped inspects your driver license and verifies that it is unexpired.

Contactless verification. Because Amped is delivery-focused and you may take possession of the Vehicle without direct contact with an Amped agent, verification is completed in advance through Vouched at the time you book or enroll, as contemplated by §322.38(4). Completing that verification is a condition of delivery. A Vehicle will not be released until it is complete.

Records we are required to keep. Under §322.38(3), Amped keeps a record of the registration number of the Vehicle rented, your name and address, your driver license number, and the place where your license was issued. This record is open to inspection by any police officer or by an officer or employee of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. You agree to provide accurate information for this purpose and to keep your address current for the duration of the rental. The address you provide is your Notice Address as defined in Section 1.

6(a) — Payment Card & Renter Identity

The payment card used to book or secure a rental must be a card the renter is legally authorized to use. By submitting a payment card, you represent and warrant that you are either the named Cardholder or an authorized user of that card.

Third-Party Card Liability: If the payment card belongs to a person other than the verified renter, both the renter and the Cardholder are jointly and severally liable for all charges under this Agreement. The renter's completed identity verification constitutes conclusive proof that the renter knowingly accepted our services, irrespective of whose card was charged.

Fraud Representation: You represent that no charge made under this Agreement is or will be fraudulent. Filing a chargeback claiming "fraud" or "no knowledge of this charge" on a rental for which identity verification was completed, a rental agreement was signed, and a vehicle was delivered and operated, is a materially false representation.

6(c) — Credit Card Authorization Form

A completed Amped Auto Rentals Credit Card Authorization Form is required on every rental, without exception, whether or not the Cardholder is the renter. Completion and acceptance of that form is a condition precedent to release of the Vehicle. No Vehicle will be delivered until the form and all required attachments have been received and verified by Amped.

What is required. The form must be printed, completed by hand, and signed by hand. Typed, electronically signed, or digitally completed forms are not accepted. Timing depends on when you book. For a reservation made more than 24 hours before the scheduled handoff, return the completed form and attachments to [email protected] at least 24 hours before your scheduled delivery. For a reservation accepted within 24 hours of the scheduled handoff, all required documents must be received and verified before the Vehicle is released — by email in advance, or handed to the Amped delivery driver at the handover. Handing documents to the driver does not by itself guarantee immediate release: in every case the Vehicle is not released until the form, its attachments, identity and payment authority have been received and verified.

Payment alone does not authorize or guarantee release of the Vehicle. Required pre-rental requirements may include identity verification, insurance verification, the Credit Card Authorization Form, required attachments and other applicable reservation documentation. If required documentation or verification is not completed, Amped may withhold release of the Vehicle and may provide a reasonable final deadline where operationally appropriate. The reservation is then handled under the applicable cancellation and no-show provisions in Section 12, which determine any refund eligibility. Incomplete documentation does not by itself cause automatic forfeiture of all amounts paid. The form must be accompanied by:

  • A copy of the front of the payment card with all digits other than the last four obscured
  • A copy of the back of the payment card with the security code fully obscured
  • A copy of the front and back of the Cardholder's unexpired driver license, or the photo page of their unexpired passport
  • Where the Cardholder is not the driver, the same identity documents for the Authorized Renter
  • Where the card billing address differs from the Cardholder's home address, one proof of address dated within 60 days

Third-party payment. Where the Cardholder is not the person taking delivery of the Vehicle, Section 5 of the Credit Card Authorization Form must be completed in full, identifying the Authorized Renter by name, date of birth, driver license number and contact details, and must be signed by both the Cardholder and the Authorized Renter. By signing, the Cardholder accepts joint and several liability with the Authorized Renter for all charges and incidentals arising from the reservation, as provided in Section 1 ("Cardholder") and Section 6(a) above.

Key Rental Terms. Section 9 of the Credit Card Authorization Form, Key Rental Terms, is initialled and signed by the person who will drive the Vehicle. That initialling relates to the Credit Card Authorization Form only; it is separate from, and Amped does not represent that it satisfies, the statutory initialing requirement described in Section 20 under Fla. Stat. §812.155(6). Where the Cardholder and the driver are the same person, that person completes it. Where they are different people, it is completed by the driver at delivery.

Security and data handling. Amped does not request, record or retain full payment card numbers or card security codes in any form. Any document received showing a full card number or a security code will be destroyed and a compliant copy requested before the Vehicle is released. Identity documents and card copies are retained securely and are used solely for identity verification, statutory recordkeeping under Fla. Stat. §322.38(3), and the defence of payment disputes and claims. See our Privacy Policy for the retention period.

False or unauthorized information. Providing materially false information, or knowingly submitting a payment card or identity document that you are not authorized to use, is a material breach of this Agreement. Amped Auto Rentals may cancel or terminate the reservation, withhold release of the Vehicle, preserve relevant records, dispute or reverse unauthorized transactions where appropriate, and report suspected fraud to the applicable payment provider or law-enforcement authority. Refund eligibility, if any, is determined under this Agreement and applicable law. Conduct involving fraud or the unauthorized use of a payment card may also carry civil or criminal consequences under applicable Florida law.

7Prohibited Uses

Prohibited use is a material breach of this Agreement. It may eliminate protections provided under this Agreement or under an Amped-offered protection product, and you may be responsible for resulting damage, loss and related costs to the extent provided in this Agreement and permitted by law. Coverage under your own insurance policy is determined by that policy and applicable law, not by this Agreement.

The following uses of the Vehicle are strictly prohibited:

  • Operation by anyone other than an Authorized Driver
  • Operation while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any impairing substance
  • Use in any race, speed test, contest, or performance event
  • Commercial transportation of persons for hire, including Uber, Lyft, or any TNC
  • Towing, pushing, or propelling any other vehicle or object
  • Transporting dangerous, hazardous, toxic, flammable, or illegal materials
  • Operation outside the State of Florida without prior written approval from Amped (see Sections 7(a) and 7(g))
  • Operation in Mexico under any circumstances
  • Driving on unpaved, off-road, or unmaintained surfaces
  • Carrying more persons than the Vehicle has seat belts; transporting children without legally required child safety seats
  • Any illegal purpose or commission of a crime
  • Intentional damage to or abandonment of the Vehicle
  • Using a hand-held wireless device while driving (not in hands-free mode)
  • Loading the Vehicle beyond its rated capacity
  • Smoking, vaping, or use of any tobacco, cannabis, e-cigarette, or nicotine product inside the Vehicle
  • Any use that would void or impair applicable insurance coverage
🚭 Non-Smoking & Non-Vaping Policy: All Amped Auto Rentals vehicles are non-smoking and non-vaping for all occupants at all times — cigarettes, cigars, pipes, cannabis, e-cigarettes, vapes, hookahs and any other smoking or vapor product. Where smoking, vaping or resulting smoke or vapor contamination is documented in the Vehicle, a $400 Smoking/Remediation Fee may apply. It applies whether the smoking was by the renter or a passenger. This is a contractual remediation charge, not a fine or a government or statutory penalty. Physical damage such as burns, melted materials or damaged upholstery or trim may be handled separately under the damage provisions where documented, and Amped does not seek double recovery for the same loss. The Smoking/Remediation Fee is separate from the cleaning schedule in Section 10(e).
7(b) — Flood Water, Salt Water & Beach Operation

Do not drive the Vehicle through flooded roadways, knowingly enter standing water of uncertain depth, drive on a beach or in salt water, or knowingly operate the Vehicle through conditions reasonably likely to cause water intrusion. Ordinary exposure to rain or to ordinary wet-road conditions is not a violation; unreasonable operation through known floodwater or prohibited terrain is.

7(c) — Transportation for Hire, Rideshare & Delivery Platforms

Direct Amped Auto Rentals rentals are not authorized for transportation-for-hire or commercial passenger or delivery activity, including Uber, Lyft, taxi or livery service, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex or similar platforms, and are not authorized for sub-rental or for lending the Vehicle to another person, unless expressly authorized by Amped Auto Rentals in writing.

7(d) — Vehicle Software, Settings & Systems

Do not intentionally factory-reset the Vehicle, disable telematics or required safety systems, install unauthorized software, modify firmware, perform an unauthorized software update, alter ownership or account settings, or install aftermarket electronic hardware. Ordinary comfort settings — seat position, mirrors, climate, audio and navigation entries — are of course permitted, and personal data you enter should be removed before return under Section 3.

7(e) — Physical Modification

Do not physically modify the Vehicle without Amped’s written approval. This includes decals or stickers, window tint, drilling, wiring, roof-mounted equipment, towing equipment, aftermarket accessories, mechanical modification and removal of Vehicle components. Ordinary temporary accessories that leave no damage — a phone mount or a sunshade, for example — are not a violation.

7(f) — Additional Prohibited Uses

In addition to the prohibitions listed above, the Vehicle must not be operated by a person whose licence is suspended, revoked or expired; used for driver training or on a racetrack; used to tow a trailer; operated with the odometer or telematics tampered with or disconnected; or loaded beyond the manufacturer’s passenger or cargo limits.

7(a) — Out-of-State Operation & Vehicle Recovery Costs

The Vehicle must remain within the State of Florida for the entire rental period. Operation outside Florida without Amped's prior written approval is a material breach of this Agreement and may eliminate protections provided under this Agreement or under an Amped-offered protection product. Coverage under your personal auto policy is determined by that policy and applicable law, not by this Agreement.

Recovery costs. If the Vehicle is taken outside the State of Florida without prior written approval, or is not made available for retrieval at the agreed location within Florida, you are responsible for all reasonable costs and fees incurred by Amped to recover the Vehicle and return it to Miami-Dade County, Florida, including but not limited to:

  • Transportation for Amped personnel or an authorized agent to the Vehicle's location — airfare, ground transport, mileage, fuel, tolls and lodging
  • Third-party recovery, towing, transport, storage, impound and release fees
  • Compensation paid to any agent engaged to locate, secure, hold or drive the Vehicle
  • Loss of Use at the Vehicle's daily rental rate for each day the Vehicle is reasonably unavailable to rent, from the scheduled return date until it is returned to service
  • Amped's reasonable administrative time
  • Collection costs, court costs and attorney's fees where recovery is pursued

These costs are in addition to, and not limited by, the security deposit — including any increased security deposit under Section 11 — and any other charges due under this Agreement. You authorize Amped to charge your payment method on file for these amounts as they are incurred.

Location data. You acknowledge that the Vehicle is equipped with telematics as described in Section 3, that Amped may use that data to locate and recover the Vehicle at any time, and that GPS and telematics records may be used as evidence of the Vehicle's location for the purposes of this Section.

Return to Florida is your obligation. Notifying Amped that the Vehicle is outside Florida does not transfer the obligation to return it. The Vehicle must be returned to the agreed location within Florida at your cost. Where a Vehicle is not made available at all, the statutory non-return procedures in Section 20 may become relevant; those procedures have their own statutory prerequisites and are not triggered merely by a late or misplaced return.

7(g) — Travel Disclosure & Approval: Outside Florida or More Than 300 Miles

Travel outside Florida requires Amped’s prior written approval under Section 7(a). In addition, if you plan to drive the Vehicle more than 300 miles from the original pickup location — inside or outside Florida — you must disclose your travel plan to Amped and obtain Amped’s written approval before the rental begins. Disclose it when you book, or as soon as the plan is known and before the Vehicle is released, including your farthest planned destination, approximate route and expected total mileage.

Amped may approve the plan, approve it subject to an increased refundable security deposit under Section 11(e), or decline or cancel a travel plan that creates excessive risk, mileage, charging exposure, recovery risk or insurance concerns.

Approval of a travel plan does not change the return location, the mileage allowance in Section 8(s) or the insurance requirement in Section 9. The Vehicle must still be returned to the agreed location within the service area under Section 4(f).

If the Vehicle is used for travel that required disclosure and approval but was not approved, Amped may require the applicable security deposit under Section 11(e), or the return of the Vehicle at an agreed location and time. This is in addition to Amped’s rights under Section 7(a) for travel outside Florida.

8Fuel, EV Charging, Mileage & Vehicle Operation

Gasoline-Powered Vehicles
8(a) — Starting Fuel Level

The fuel level of each gasoline-powered Vehicle is documented at the beginning of the Rental Period. Amped Auto Rentals does not guarantee that a gasoline Vehicle is delivered with a full tank or any other fixed fuel level. The documented starting fuel level shown in Amped Auto Rentals’ rental records establishes the fuel level applicable to the rental, subject to correction of an obvious documented error. Starting fuel level may be documented through the Vehicle Condition Report, delivery or pickup photographs, a photograph of the fuel gauge, electronic vehicle information where available, delivery records or other reasonably reliable rental documentation.

Where a replacement Vehicle is provided during a rental, the fuel level documented when the replacement Vehicle is provided becomes the applicable starting level for that Vehicle. Extending a rental does not change the documented starting fuel level of the Vehicle already in your possession.

8(b) — Return Fuel Requirement

You must return a gasoline-powered Vehicle with at least the same fuel level documented at the beginning of the rental. A Vehicle delivered full is returned full; a Vehicle delivered at three-quarters is returned at three-quarters or higher; a Vehicle delivered at one-half is returned at one-half or higher. The same requirement applies however the Vehicle is handed over — delivery to an address, an airport garage handoff, or designated scheduled self-pickup.

Return fuel level may be documented through return photographs, a photograph of the fuel gauge, the Vehicle Condition Report, electronic vehicle information where available, the return inspection or other rental records.

Fuel purchased by the renter during the rental is the renter’s responsibility. If the Vehicle is voluntarily returned with more fuel than the documented starting level, Amped Auto Rentals does not provide a refund, credit or reimbursement for the excess fuel. The exception is where Amped specifically instructs you to purchase additional fuel for an operational reason and separately agrees to reimburse that expense; that agreement controls.

8(c) — Gasoline Purchased During the Rental, and Missing Fuel

Gasoline purchased during the Rental Period is your responsibility and an ordinary operating expense of the rental. You pay the fueling station directly; an ordinary fuel purchase does not run through Amped Auto Rentals and does not reduce your security deposit.

If the Vehicle is returned with less fuel than its documented starting level, you are responsible for the actual reasonable cost of the fuel required to restore the Vehicle to that level, plus a $25 Refueling Service Fee. No refueling charge applies when the Vehicle is returned at or above the documented starting fuel level. A charge for missing fuel is supported by the documented starting level, the documented return level and the reasonable cost of restoring the fuel, with transaction or receipt documentation where available. Amounts properly due for missing fuel may be reconciled against your security deposit under Section 11. If the available security-deposit balance is insufficient to satisfy amounts properly due under this Agreement, you remain responsible for the unpaid balance.

8(d) — Correct Fuel Type

You must use the fuel type specified for the assigned Vehicle. If you are uncertain which fuel the Vehicle requires, contact Amped Auto Rentals at (786) 981-1177 before refueling.

8(e) — Incorrect or Incompatible Fuel

You must not introduce an incorrect or incompatible fuel into the Vehicle. If the wrong fuel is added, do not continue operating or restart the Vehicle and contact Amped Auto Rentals immediately. Responsibility for resulting towing, draining, repair, damage, Loss of Use or other amounts is determined under the applicable damage and responsibility provisions of this Agreement, including Sections 5, 7 and 10.

8(f) — Running Out of Fuel

You are responsible for maintaining sufficient fuel to operate the Vehicle and to reach an appropriate fueling location or the agreed return location. If the Vehicle becomes immobilized because it has run out of fuel, contact Amped Auto Rentals immediately and take no action that would cause additional damage. Responsibility for recovery and related costs is governed by the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

Electric Vehicles
8(g) — Starting State of Charge

Amped Auto Rentals aims to provide each electric Vehicle with a high starting state of charge so you can begin your trip without an immediate charging stop. The Vehicle’s actual starting state of charge is documented at the beginning of the rental. The return requirement in Section 8(l) applies regardless of the starting state of charge; you are not required to match the level at which the Vehicle was delivered.

8(h) — Tesla Supercharging and EV Charging Responsibility

You are responsible for all Tesla Supercharging, EV charging, idle fees, congestion fees and related charging costs incurred during the rental period, including charging-related parking, access or network fees attributable to your use. These charges may be billed after use and may not appear immediately, sometimes after the Vehicle has been returned. You remain responsible for them when they post.

How charging is paid depends on the Vehicle. Tesla Supercharging is processed through Amped’s Tesla account under Section 8(i), and Amped may deduct those charges from your security deposit or charge your payment method after the rental ends. On the Chevrolet Equinox EV, you generally pay the public charging network directly under Section 8(j); any charging-related charge billed to Amped is handled the same way as a Tesla charge.

Long-distance Tesla and EV travel can create substantial charging costs. Renters planning out-of-state, multi-state or high-mileage travel may be required to pay a higher refundable security deposit before the Vehicle is released; see Sections 7(g) and 11(e).

8(i) — Tesla Supercharging

Tesla Supercharger access is permitted subject to Tesla's Terms of Service. Each Amped Tesla remains associated with Amped Auto Rentals' Tesla account for the duration of the rental. Applicable Tesla Supercharging transactions are therefore billed by Tesla through Amped's account rather than paid by you at the charger. Those charging-session charges, and any applicable idle, congestion or related Tesla charging fees attributable to your use, are your responsibility and are reconciled under Section 11. They may be reconciled against the security deposit during the rental as they are received, and where they materially reduce or exhaust the available balance, Section 11(b) applies. If applicable charges exceed the available security-deposit balance, you remain responsible for amounts properly due under this Agreement.

Delayed posting. Tesla may post Supercharging transactions to Amped’s account after a charging session ends, including after the Vehicle has been returned. Amped may deduct those charges from your security deposit when received or, where the deposit has already been reconciled, charge your payment method with the advance notice described in Section 11. Charging costs on long-distance trips and monthly rentals can accumulate quickly, which is why a higher deposit may apply under Sections 11(d) and 11(e).

Tesla digital key is not Tesla account ownership. Amped may provide you with Tesla app or digital-key access so you can operate the Vehicle. That access is for operating the Vehicle only. It does not transfer the Vehicle into your personal Tesla account, give you control of Amped's Tesla account, or make you responsible for Amped's Tesla billing account. Do not attempt to add the Vehicle to a personal Tesla account or to remove it from Amped's account, at return or at any other time. Where a physical key, fob, Tesla key card or other physical access device is lost, stolen, damaged or not returned, you are responsible for the actual reasonable replacement and reprogramming cost, which may include reasonable third-party service costs required to restore vehicle access. No physical-key replacement charge applies merely because digital access was revoked or reissued, or a digital invitation expired, when no physical device was lost or damaged.

8(j) — Chevrolet Equinox EV & Public Charging

Charging the Chevrolet Equinox EV works differently. You are responsible for establishing and using the payment method or account required by the public charging network you choose, and you generally pay that network directly. Compatible networks may include EVgo, Electrify America, ChargePoint, Tesla charging at locations that support compatible non-Tesla EVs, and other compatible public networks. Compatibility depends on the connector, the charging location, the vehicle, the adapter, the network and the charger configuration, and should be confirmed before you rely on a particular station.

8(k) — GM NACS Adapter & Charging Equipment

Charging equipment supplied with a particular Vehicle — which may include a GM NACS adapter, a charging cord or Dual Level Charge Cord, a J1772 or other adapter where supplied, and any associated storage case or bag — remains the property of Amped Auto Rentals. Supplied charging equipment must remain with the assigned Vehicle, must not be used with another vehicle unless Amped authorizes it, and must be returned with the Vehicle in substantially the same condition, ordinary wear excepted.

8(l) — Return State of Charge

Return the Vehicle with a battery state of charge of 75% or higher. This requirement is independent of the state of charge at delivery. Vehicles returned below 75% incur a Recharge Service Fee as follows:

Battery level at returnFee
75% or higherNo Recharge Service Fee
20%–74%$35 Recharge Service Fee
Below 20%$60 Low-Battery Recharge Service Fee

The $60 Low-Battery Recharge Service Fee is the applicable fee where the Vehicle is returned below 20%; the $35 and $60 fees are not charged together.

8(m) — Skip the Recharge

Skip the Recharge is an optional add-on costing $40 per rental. If selected, you may return the Vehicle below 75% without the $35 Recharge Service Fee under Section 8(l), provided the Vehicle is returned at a state of charge of 20% or higher. Returning the Vehicle below 20% remains subject to the $60 Low-Battery Recharge Service Fee even where Skip the Recharge was purchased. Skip the Recharge covers only the final return recharge; it does not pay for or include charging used during the rental, which remains payable under Sections 8(h) to 8(j).

8(n) — Low or Depleted Battery

You must maintain sufficient battery charge to reach an appropriate charging station or the agreed return location, and must not intentionally operate the Vehicle to a depleted state of charge. If the Vehicle becomes immobilized because of insufficient battery charge, contact Amped Auto Rentals immediately at (786) 981-1177 and do not independently arrange a tow that is not appropriate for an electric vehicle. Responsibility for recovery and related costs is governed by the applicable provisions of this Agreement.

8(o) — Charging-Location, Idle, Congestion & Parking Fees

A charging session and the parking space it occupies are billed separately by many operators, and complimentary charging does not necessarily mean complimentary parking. You are responsible for charging-session costs, idle fees, congestion fees, parking or garage fees, network fees and other charging-location charges attributable to your use during the rental. Tesla and other networks may impose additional fees where applicable; current amounts are set by the operator.

8(p) — Charging Accounts

Any charging-network account or payment method you create for the Chevrolet Equinox EV is your own. If you enroll the Vehicle in a persistent vehicle-linked automatic charging feature such as Autocharge, you must end that enrollment before returning the Vehicle. This does not apply to Tesla vehicles: Amped’s Tesla account relationship is managed by Amped, and you must not attempt to change it.

8(q) — Towing EVs

EVs must not be towed with drive wheels on the road surface. Contact Amped Auto Rentals before arranging towing whenever circumstances permit so that an appropriate electric-vehicle recovery method can be coordinated.

8(r) — Range, Software & Charging Availability

EV range estimates are approximate and vary with speed, weather, climate use, traffic, terrain, load, driving style and battery temperature. Charger availability, charging speed and network pricing are controlled by third parties and are not guaranteed by Amped Auto Rentals. It is your responsibility to ensure the Vehicle has sufficient charge to reach a charging station or the return location. Do not install Vehicle software updates unless specifically instructed by Amped; unauthorized software updates are at your sole risk.

Mileage
8(s) — Mileage Allowance & Unlimited Mileage Add-On

All rentals include 300 miles per day. Miles over the daily allowance are charged at the per-mile overage rate disclosed at booking.

Unlimited Mileage option. Rentals include 300 miles per rental day unless the Rental Agreement states otherwise. An Unlimited Mileage option may be available for eligible vehicles and qualifying reservations at the rate displayed at booking. Eligibility, pricing, rental-duration limitations and other applicable conditions are determined by the specific reservation, and the option must be selected at booking. The current Unlimited Mileage option is $25 per rental day for eligible rentals of 14 days or less; rentals of 15 days or longer remain subject to 300 included miles per rental day unless Amped specifically approves another mileage arrangement. Vehicles must remain within Florida regardless of mileage option.

OptionAllowanceCost
Standard (included)300 miles/dayPer-mile overage rate at booking
Unlimited Mileage option (eligible vehicles and reservations)UnlimitedRate displayed at booking; currently $25/day for eligible rentals of 14 days or less

9Insurance

AUTO INSURANCE REQUIREMENT: Every renter must have automobile insurance that includes comprehensive and collision coverage and extends to the vehicle rented from Amped Auto Rentals. Coverage must be verified before the vehicle is released. If the renter’s existing automobile insurance does not provide the required coverage for the rental vehicle, the renter must purchase the applicable rental protection coverage offered through Bonzah before the vehicle can be released.

Verification. Amped Auto Rentals verifies coverage before release using Canopy Connect. Canopy Connect is a verification method, not an insurance product and not an insurer. Whether a particular policy extends comprehensive and collision coverage to a rental vehicle depends on that policy; carriers and individual policies vary, and Amped makes no representation that any particular insurer transfers coverage to an Amped rental.

If verification cannot be completed, or the verified policy does not provide the required coverage for the rental vehicle, Amped will contact you so the applicable Bonzah rental protection coverage can be purchased before the handoff. A Vehicle is not released until the insurance requirement is satisfied. Bonzah Standard Protection is $50.13/day where available for eligible direct bookings. Bonzah coverage terms, limits, conditions and exclusions are set by Bonzah and are displayed at booking; they should be reviewed before purchase.

You also agree to maintain the liability and personal injury protection coverage required of a driver under Florida law during your rental. The operational comprehensive-and-collision requirement above is Amped’s own rental requirement and is separate from the statutory allocation of liability and personal injury protection responsibility described in the notice below.

FOR FLORIDA RENTALS — notice required by Fla. Stat. §627.7263(2): The valid and collectible liability insurance and personal injury protection insurance of any authorized rental or leasing driver is primary for the limits of liability and personal injury protection coverage required by ss. 324.021(7) and 627.736, Florida Statutes.

10Charges, Fees, Payments & Chargeback Policy

10(a) — Payment Authorization & Statement Descriptor

Payment is due in full at time of booking. By submitting payment and completing your booking, you expressly authorize Amped Auto Rentals to charge your payment method for the full rental amount, the applicable security deposit (the standard $250 deposit, or a higher amount required under Section 11), all additional charges incurred during or after your rental, and post-rental charges — including Tesla Supercharger sessions, toll invoices, traffic citations, mileage overages, missing fuel on a gasoline Vehicle under Section 8(c), EV Recharge Service Fees under Section 8(l), and damage assessments — which may be billed days or weeks after your return date.

How this charge will appear on your credit card or bank statement:
AMPED AUTO RENTALS
CLEAR BRIGHT & SMART DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS LLC
If you see either name on your statement and don't recognize it, contact Amped Auto Rentals at [email protected] or (786) 981-1177 so the charge can be identified and explained.
10(b) — Booking Confirmation as Receipt & Proof of Knowledge

Upon booking, you receive a Booking Confirmation via email and/or SMS itemizing all charges. Your Booking Confirmation documents the charges disclosed and accepted at booking and may be used to help resolve billing questions or payment disputes. Service is rendered when the Vehicle is delivered to your location, and no refund of the base rental amount is available on the ground that the Vehicle was "not received" once delivery has occurred.

10(c) — Chargeback Policy

Nothing in these Terms prevents you from raising a good-faith billing dispute with your card issuer. Knowingly submitting false information, or intentionally misrepresenting an authorized transaction, may constitute a breach of this Agreement and may be addressed through available payment-network, civil or other lawful remedies. If you have a billing question or concern, Amped asks that you contact it first at [email protected] or (786) 981-1177 so it can be reviewed and resolved directly, which is usually faster. Nothing in this Agreement waives or limits any dispute right you have with your card issuer or under applicable law.

Where a dispute is knowingly false or made in bad faith, Amped may pursue the lawful remedies available to it, including recovery of amounts properly due and any costs recoverable under applicable law.

10(d) — Card Blocking & Alternative Collection Remedies

If you block, cancel, dispute, or otherwise render your payment card unavailable after a rental has commenced or concluded, such action constitutes a material breach. Amped may pursue: civil action in Miami-Dade County Small Claims Court; referral to a third-party collections agency with credit bureau reporting; demand letters and attorney engagement; and interest on unpaid balances at the maximum rate permitted under Florida law after 30 days of written demand.

Blocking your card does not eliminate the debt. It changes how we collect it.

11Security Deposit

11(a) — Collection and application. Amped Auto Rentals collects a security deposit in connection with every direct rental. A standard $250 security deposit is collected from your credit or debit card at the time of booking and applies to normal local rentals. A higher security deposit may be required under Sections 11(c) through 11(e); where it is, the additional amount is collected before the Vehicle is released.

The security deposit may be applied to amounts properly due under this Agreement as those amounts are incurred, received or reconciled, whether during the Rental Period or after the Vehicle is returned. Amounts that may be applied include Tesla Supercharging and EV charging charges, charging-related idle or congestion fees, tolls, tickets and citations with the associated administrative fee, parking fees, missing fuel under Section 8(c), Recharge Service Fees under Section 8(l), mileage overages, late-return charges, cleaning charges, the Smoking/Remediation Fee, recovery expenses, damage, unpaid balances and any other authorized amounts. Applicable charges may therefore reduce the available security-deposit balance during the rental.

Final reconciliation occurs following return of the Vehicle, and Amped then refunds the remaining unused balance of the security deposit — including any increased deposit — subject to these Terms. The security deposit does not limit your total financial responsibility under this Agreement.

How the security deposit will appear on your statement:
AMPED AUTO RENTALS and/or CLEAR BRIGHT & SMART DIVERSIFIED HOLDINGS LLC
If you see this on your statement and don't recognize it, call us before calling your bank: (786) 981-1177.

What the Security Deposit Covers: Tesla Supercharger sessions, tolls (SunPass / E-ZPass), traffic citations plus the $25 administrative processing fee, mileage overages, vehicle damage, cleaning charges under the published cleaning schedule, the Smoking/Remediation Fee, late return fees, missing fuel on a gasoline Vehicle (Section 8(c)), EV Recharge Service Fees (Section 8(l)), EV charging, parking fees, recovery expenses, unpaid balances, lost or unreturned accessories, and any other fees or charges incurred under this Agreement.

Post-Rental Billing: Tesla Supercharger fees, toll invoices, and traffic citations may be billed to Amped days or weeks after your rental ends. You authorize us to charge your card on file for these amounts when received, including after the remaining security-deposit balance has been refunded.

Advance notice. Before charging your payment method for any post-rental amount, Amped will email you an itemized statement of the charge with supporting evidence — the Supercharger session list, the toll or citation invoice, photographs of damage or of the condition giving rise to a cleaning fee — and will allow you a reasonable opportunity to raise any question. Notice is sent to the email address on your booking. This does not limit your obligation to pay amounts properly due under this Agreement.

If applicable charges exceed the available security-deposit balance, the excess will be charged separately to your payment method.

11(b) — Additional security during an active rental. If authorized charges incurred during an active Rental Period materially reduce or exhaust the available balance of the security deposit, Amped Auto Rentals may require an additional security deposit to maintain adequate security for amounts incurred, or reasonably anticipated, during the remainder of the Rental Period. This may arise during extended or monthly rentals, rental extensions, high-mileage rentals, approved long-distance or out-of-state travel, or rentals generating substantial Tesla Supercharging or toll activity. Amped Auto Rentals will notify you when additional security is required, and the amount will be stated in that notice. Additional security under this Section 11(b) is not required automatically merely because a rental is long-term. The security deposit required before release — which may be higher for Tesla and electric vehicle, monthly, long-term, out-of-state and long-distance rentals — is set under Sections 11(c) through 11(e).

If required additional security is not provided by the deadline stated in Amped’s notice, that failure is a material breach of this Agreement. Amped may then require you to return the Vehicle at an agreed location and time, and you remain responsible for authorized charges and obligations through return. Failure to provide additional security does not by itself authorize remote disablement, repossession, reporting the Vehicle as stolen, punitive fees or any allegation of criminal conduct. Requiring additional security does not waive or limit any other right under this Agreement.

11(c) — Security Deposit Amounts. Security deposit amounts may vary based on vehicle type, rental length, renter age, insurance status, payment history, expected mileage, destination and overall risk profile. A standard $250 refundable security deposit may apply to normal local rentals, but higher refundable security deposits may be required for Tesla rentals, electric vehicle rentals, monthly rentals, long-term rentals, out-of-state travel, high-mileage use, or any trip more than 300 miles from the original pickup location. Tesla and electric vehicle rentals may require a higher deposit because charging costs are billed after use and can accumulate during the rental.

How a higher deposit is set and collected. Where a higher security deposit applies, Amped will state the amount in writing — in your Booking Confirmation or in a written notice before release — and the full amount must be received before the Vehicle is released. The final amount is set by Amped based on the factors above and may differ between otherwise similar reservations.

Refundable. An increased security deposit is refundable on the same basis as the standard deposit: authorized charges are deducted under Section 11(a), and the remaining unused balance is refunded after final reconciliation.

Declining a higher deposit. If Amped requires a higher security deposit that was not disclosed when you booked, and the requirement does not result from a change you made to the reservation or your travel plans, you may decline it before release. Amped will then cancel the reservation and refund it in full under Section 12(e). In any other case, if a required deposit is not received by the deadline in Amped’s notice, Amped may withhold release of the Vehicle and the reservation is handled under Section 12.

The security deposit is not a cap on your financial responsibility. You remain responsible for all charges, fees, damages, violations and unpaid balances incurred during the rental, even if those amounts exceed the security deposit.

Direct rentals only. Sections 11(c) through 11(e) apply to direct rentals. Turo bookings follow Turo’s own trip terms.

11(d) — Monthly Tesla and Electric Vehicle Rentals. Monthly Tesla and electric vehicle rentals (rentals of 30 days or longer) may require a refundable security deposit of $500 or higher before the Vehicle is released. Final deposit amounts may vary based on rental length, expected mileage, charging behavior, travel destination, renter age, insurance status, payment history and overall risk profile.

Tesla Supercharging, EV charging, idle fees, congestion fees, tolls, tickets, parking fees, mileage overages, cleaning fees, the Smoking/Remediation Fee, late-return charges, Recharge Service Fees under Section 8(l) and unpaid balances may be deducted from the security deposit or charged to your payment method after the rental ends.

Tesla Supercharging and EV charging charges may not appear immediately. You remain responsible for all charging and trip-related charges incurred during the rental period, even if those charges post after the Vehicle is returned.

11(e) — Long-Distance, Out-of-State, and High-Mileage EV Travel. For Tesla and electric vehicle rentals, Amped Auto Rentals may require an increased refundable security deposit when you plan to travel outside Florida, drive more than 300 miles from the original pickup location, or use the Vehicle for long-distance or high-mileage travel. These travel plans must be disclosed and approved in writing before the rental begins under Section 7(g).

The deposit for approved long-distance travel is based on the farthest planned distance from the original pickup location, measured by ordinary driving route. Distance is based on the farthest planned destination from the original pickup location, not the renter’s total round-trip mileage. Amped may deny or cancel travel plans that create excessive risk, mileage, charging exposure, recovery risk or insurance concerns.

Farthest planned distance from original pickup locationMinimum refundable security deposit
Within 300 miles, Florida only$250–$500, depending on rental length and risk profile
301–750 miles$750 minimum
751–1,500 miles$1,000 minimum
1,501–2,500 miles$1,500 minimum
More than 2,500 miles$2,000 minimum, or higher

Any approved travel outside Florida carries a minimum refundable security deposit of $500, whatever the distance. Where more than one minimum applies — for example, a monthly Tesla rental under Section 11(d) with approved long-distance travel — the highest minimum applies. Final deposit amounts may vary by risk profile.

12Cancellation & Refund Policy

All cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected] or through the booking platform. Refunds processed within 3–5 business days.

No separate no-show administrative fee applies. Separately authorized third-party expenses, such as applicable airport parking, may remain your responsibility where this Agreement permits.

12(d) — Early Return

A renter who voluntarily returns the Vehicle before the scheduled end of the rental period is not automatically entitled to a refund for unused rental time. Any refund or account credit is at Amped Auto Rentals’ discretion, except where a refund is required by applicable law or where Amped requires the rental to end early for reasons not caused by you. No separate early-return administrative fee applies.

If no discretionary refund or credit is issued, the reservation is not repriced, the original duration discount is not removed, and the original agreed rental amount remains due.

If Amped grants a discretionary refund or credit, the completed rental period is first recalculated using the pricing and duration discount that would have applied to the actual completed rental period, and any refund or credit is then determined from the remaining amount after that recalculation.

12(e) — Amped-Initiated Cancellations

If Amped cancels a confirmed booking due to reasons not caused by your breach, you receive a full refund within 5 business days, including any delivery fee paid.

12(f) — Extenuating Circumstances

Exceptions may be considered at Amped's sole discretion for documented flight cancellations, hospitalization, natural disasters, or extraordinary events. Submit requests with supporting documentation within 48 hours of cancellation to [email protected].

Turo Bookings: If you booked through Turo, Turo's cancellation policy governs. The policy above applies only to direct bookings at book.ampedautorentals.com or via phone/email.

13Third-Party Services

Our services may involve third-party platforms including Turo, insurance providers, Vouched identity verification, payment processors, and SMS delivery providers. We are not responsible for the content, quality, or availability of third-party services. Please review their terms independently before use.

14Personal Property Release

Amped Auto Rentals is not an insurer of personal property left in a Vehicle. Except for Amped’s own intentional misconduct, and to the extent permitted by law, you release Amped, its agents and employees from claims for loss of or damage to personal property left in the Vehicle during or after the rental period, including digital data stored on or transmitted through the Vehicle’s infotainment system. Check the interior thoroughly before returning the Vehicle.

Where Amped actually discovers personal property during a vehicle inspection, Amped will make reasonable efforts to secure it and to contact you at the details on your booking. If you ask Amped to return an item by shipment and Amped agrees to do so, you are responsible for reasonable packaging and shipping costs. Unclaimed property is handled in accordance with applicable law and Amped’s then-current lost-property procedures.

15Intellectual Property

16Limitation of Liability & Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, Amped, its directors, officers, agents, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, special, incidental, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

Except where prohibited by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Amped and its affiliates from all claims, liabilities, damages, and legal fees arising from: (a) your use of our website or services; (b) your violation of this Agreement; (c) your operation of the Vehicle; or (d) any Unauthorized Driver's operation of the Vehicle.

Consumer Rights: Where mandatory consumer protection law applies and cannot be excluded, your statutory rights remain unaffected by these Terms.

17SMS, Email & Communications Consent — Amped Auto Rentals SMS Program

Program Name: Amped Auto Rentals SMS Program.

17(a) — Program Description & Opt-In Methods

You may consent to receive SMS messages from Amped Auto Rentals through one of three separate opt-in methods. In every method, consent for MARKETING SMS is collected SEPARATELY from consent for TRANSACTIONAL SMS via a distinct, unchecked-by-default checkbox or opt-in action. Consent to receive marketing SMS is not a condition of any purchase or rental.

Method 1 — SMS Sign-Up Page (Primary).
Visit ampedautorentals.com/sms-signup and complete the form. You select consent via two separate checkboxes: (A) "Booking & Service Messages" (transactional, service-related, checked by default); and (B) "Promotions & Special Offers" (marketing, labeled Optional, unchecked by default, and not required to submit the form).

Method 2 — Direct Booking Checkout.
When completing a direct booking at book.ampedautorentals.com, you consent only to TRANSACTIONAL SMS messages required to perform your rental — booking confirmations, delivery coordination, driver arrival notifications, pickup reminders, return logistics, and customer service replies. Marketing SMS consent is NOT collected at checkout.

Method 3 — Keyword Opt-In.
Text SUBSCRIBE or START to (786) 981-1177. The inbound message is stored as your consent record and the system auto-replies with a compliant confirmation identifying Amped Auto Rentals as the sender.

Messages sent under the Amped Auto Rentals SMS Program include:

  • Booking confirmations and receipts
  • Delivery and pickup time coordination
  • Driver arrival notifications and ETA updates
  • Vehicle handoff and return instructions
  • Return reminders and extension confirmations
  • Customer service responses to your inquiries
  • Account, billing, and payment notifications
  • Post-trip follow-ups and feedback requests
  • Occasional promotional offers and loyalty messages (sent only to customers who separately opted in to marketing via Method 1 or Method 3)

You confirm that you are the authorized user of the mobile phone number and email address you provide. Consent is specific to the Amped Auto Rentals SMS Program and is not shared, sold, or repurposed. Mobile numbers are never purchased from third-party lists.

17(a-2) — Turo Platform Bookings

If you book a vehicle from Amped Auto Rentals through the Turo platform, Turo's Terms of Service govern your relationship with Turo and authorize Amped Auto Rentals, as the vehicle host, to contact you via SMS, email, or phone for trip-related purposes — including booking confirmation, delivery coordination, driver dispatch, return logistics, and customer service. These transactional messages are necessary to perform the rental services you have booked.

Promotional and marketing SMS messages are not sent to Turo guests based on their Turo booking alone. To receive promotional SMS from Amped Auto Rentals, a Turo guest must separately opt in through Method 1 or Method 3 above.

17(b) — Message Frequency

Message frequency varies. Marketing messages are limited to up to 6 per month if you opt in. Transactional messages have variable frequency based on your booking activity — multiple messages per booking during active delivery and return coordination, and occasional account or service messages as needed.

17(c) — Message & Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Amped Auto Rentals does not charge a fee for messages sent or received under this program, but your mobile carrier's standard message and data rates will apply based on your wireless plan.

17(d) — How to Get HELP & How to STOP Messages

To get help at any time, reply HELP to any SMS message from Amped Auto Rentals, or contact us directly:

To stop receiving text messages from Amped Auto Rentals at any time, reply STOP to any SMS message you receive from us. After you reply STOP, you will receive one final confirmation message and will not receive further marketing or promotional SMS messages from this program.

Note on transactional messages after opt-out: If you opt out of marketing messages but have an active or pending rental, you may still receive transactional SMS messages directly related to that rental, because these messages are necessary to perform the rental services you have booked.

17(e) — Supported Keywords
  • Reply HELP for help and support information
  • Reply STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT to opt out of marketing SMS messages
  • Reply START or SUBSCRIBE to re-subscribe after opting out
17(f) — Supported Carriers

The Amped Auto Rentals SMS Program is supported on all major U.S. wireless carriers, including but not limited to AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, U.S. Cellular, Boost Mobile, Cricket, MetroPCS, and Virgin Mobile. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

17(g) — Consent, Privacy & Data Sharing

Your consent to receive SMS messages from Amped Auto Rentals is not a condition of any purchase or rental. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent records are collected and stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

🔒 We do not sell, rent, or share your mobile phone number or SMS consent data with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes. Phone numbers are shared only with service providers (such as our SMS platform provider Twilio and carrier partners) strictly for the purpose of delivering messages under this program.
17(h) — Changes to This Program

Amped Auto Rentals may modify or discontinue the SMS Program at any time without notice. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. Changes will be reflected on this page and dated in the Last Revised header above.

18Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

YOU AND AMPED EACH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

You and Amped agree to resolve all claims, disputes, or controversies — including those arising from this Agreement, our services, charges, vehicles, or any rental — through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as stated below.

Either party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court, and either party may seek emergency injunctive relief in court to preserve the status quo pending arbitration.

Arbitration shall be conducted under the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Consumer Arbitration Rules, available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

19Dispute Resolution Procedure

Before initiating arbitration, both parties agree to provide written notice of the claim at least 30 days in advance and make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute informally.

Notice to Amped: [email protected] or certified mail to our registered agent. Notice to you will be sent to the address on file in your booking.

No settlement demand or offer made prior to formal proceedings may be used as evidence or admission of liability in any subsequent proceeding.

20Florida Statutory Notices

FAILURE TO RETURN A HIRED VEHICLE — FLORIDA STATUTE §817.52(3). Under Florida Statute §817.52(3), a person who, after hiring a motor vehicle under an agreement to redeliver it to the owner or the owner's agent at the termination of the rental period, without the owner's consent and with intent to defraud, abandons or willfully refuses to redeliver the vehicle as agreed, commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in §§775.082, 775.083 or 775.084, Florida Statutes. Under §817.52(2), absconding without paying or offering to pay the hire is prima facie evidence of fraudulent intent.

FAILURE TO RETURN RENTAL PROPERTY — FLORIDA STATUTE §812.155. The following statutory notice is reproduced verbatim as required by §812.155(6):

Failure to return rental property or equipment upon expiration of the rental period and failure to pay all amounts due (including costs for damage to the property or equipment) are evidence of abandonment or refusal to redeliver the property, punishable in accordance with section 812.155, Florida Statutes.

Acknowledgment. You acknowledge the statement above at the time of booking, and that acknowledgment is recorded and timestamped with your Booking Confirmation. Amped Auto Rentals’ current booking system does not capture handwritten or electronic initials within its standard workflow, and Amped does not represent that the booking acknowledgment satisfies the separate initialing requirement described in §812.155(6). Where that statutory procedure is relevant, Amped may obtain a separate compliant acknowledgment outside the booking system.

Demand for return. If the Vehicle is not made available at the end of the rental period, Amped may make written demand for return by certified mail with return receipt requested, or by courier service with tracking capability, addressed to your Notice Address as defined in Section 1. Under §812.155, failure to redeliver the Vehicle within 5 days of receipt of that demand — or within 5 days of delivery by courier or return receipt from the certified mailing — is prima facie evidence of abandonment or refusal to redeliver. Notice sent to the Notice Address is sufficient and equivalent to notice received, even if returned undelivered. Email may be used as an additional channel but does not replace the statutory method.

FRAUDULENT USE OF A CREDIT CARD — FLORIDA STATUTE §817.61. Under Florida Statute §817.61, a person who, with intent to defraud, obtains money, goods, services or anything else of value by representing without the consent of the cardholder that he or she is the holder of a specified card violates that section. Under §817.61 as read with §817.67, use of a credit card in violation of that section two or fewer times in any six-month period, or obtaining value of less than $100, carries the penalties in §817.67(1); more than two such uses in a six-month period, or value of $100 or more, carries the penalties in §817.67(2). Verified against the Florida Legislature text on 19 September 2026. Amped Auto Rentals may report suspected fraudulent card use, together with relevant supporting records, to the issuing bank, the payment card network or the appropriate authorities, and may pursue any civil remedies available under applicable law.

CHILD RESTRAINT DEVICES — FLORIDA STATUTE §316.613. Florida Statute §316.613 requires every operator transporting a child aged 5 years or younger on Florida roadways to provide for the protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested, federally approved child restraint device. For children aged through 3 years the device must be a separate carrier or a vehicle manufacturer’s integrated child seat; for children aged 4 through 5 years a separate carrier, an integrated child seat or a child booster seat may be used. The statute contains limited exceptions. Verified against the Florida Legislature text on 19 September 2026. Comply with the statute as it applies to your circumstances. Amped Auto Rentals may make a child safety seat available as an optional add-on, subject to availability, at $10/day. Request it at the time of booking; a seat cannot be guaranteed if requested after your rental has begun. Where a seat is supplied it is delivered with the Vehicle and positioned at your direction. You, as the renter, parent or guardian, remain responsible for determining whether a child restraint is required, selecting an appropriate restraint for the child, properly installing and positioning it, and properly securing the child, in compliance with applicable Florida law throughout the rental. Amped does not make an individualized legal or safety determination for a particular child.

TOLL PROCESSING AND SUNPASS. Amped Auto Rentals discloses how tolls are processed and what they cost, as set out below. Every Amped Auto Rentals vehicle is delivered with an active SunPass transponder already installed at no charge. There is no daily transponder fee, no per-toll administrative fee and no toll package to purchase. Tolls incurred during your rental are billed to you at cost after the Vehicle is returned, with no markup. Miami expressways — including the Dolphin (SR-836), Airport Expressway (SR-112), Don Shula (SR-874), Snapper Creek (SR-878) and Gratigny Parkway (SR-924) — are all-electronic and accept no cash. Do not attach your own transponder to the Vehicle: doing so can cause a toll to be billed twice. Traffic citations and camera-enforcement fines remain your responsibility under Section 5(a), which sets a $25 administrative processing fee per underlying citation or violation. Ordinary SunPass tolls carry no administrative fee.

VISITOR INFORMATION AND SAFETY TIPS — MIAMI-DADE CODE §8A-1.1. Miami-Dade County Code §8A-1.1 requires a rental car company renting cars in Miami-Dade County to make a County-approved Visitor Information Map available to each visitor renter. Because Amped Auto Rentals is delivery-focused with no public rental facility, this material is provided to you electronically with your Booking Confirmation and again at delivery. Miami-Dade County publishes its visitor safety tips in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian and German; tell us at booking which you prefer and we will send that version. Printed copies are available on request at no charge.

21General Provisions

21(a) — Events Outside Reasonable Control

Neither party is responsible for a failure or delay in performance caused by an event genuinely outside its reasonable control, including a government closure or order, severe weather, a hurricane or named storm, airport closure or restriction, natural disaster, widespread infrastructure or utility failure, or a manufacturer recall preventing use of the Vehicle. Where such an event prevents Amped from supplying a reserved Vehicle, Section 4(g) and Section 12(e) apply. This provision does not excuse an ordinary operational failure by Amped, and does not excuse payment of amounts already properly due.

Governing Law. Florida law governs this Agreement without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.

Severability. If any provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be severed and all remaining provisions continue in full force.

Modifications. No term may be waived or modified except by a writing signed by an authorized Amped representative.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Amped regarding your rental. All prior representations are superseded.

Changes to These Terms. We may update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on our website. Continued use constitutes acceptance. See our Privacy Policy for data handling practices.
