Pricing & Payment

 

Payment for the rental itself will be charged on the day that your rental takes place. We require a valid credit card on file when you make your reservation, upon which a $400 damage hold will be placed. Any additional charges for gas or damages will be taken from your $400 damage hold after the rental is returned.

 

We want to make sure the vehicle is returned in the same condition it was when you started your rental with us, and a $400 deposit ensures this. You can expect a clean, damage-free vehicle with a full tank of gas.

 

It depends on the type of card being used, but on average, expect the $400 hold to be released between 7 and 30 days. If you’d like more information about this, contact your credit card company.

 

No. Unfortunately, the security hold will affect your bank account differently than it would a credit card. Please contact us at 802.528.2200 with additional questions.

 

Yes. All Saint Albans Rental Cars are handed off with a full tank of gas. If you drop off a vehicle without a full tank, you will be subject to a $150 flat refueling fee.

 

Yes. If any evidence of smoking or pets is found in the rental vehicle, you will be subject to a $300 cleaning fee based on the employee’s inspection.

 

Rentals are based on a 24-hour period. We understand traffic changes from day to day, so we offer a one-hour grace period to compensate. After that, Saint Albans Rental Car will charge you for an additional day’s rental.

We want to ensure the best service and safety for all our members. To do so, we keep track of various data points to record vehicle and driver history to ensure that the vehicles are properly maintained and driven responsibly.

First, make sure that everyone is safe, get your vehicle to a safe place, exchange information with the other parties, and notify the police. Once the situation is stabilized, call the 24-hour roadside assistance number at (800) 444-4195, and then give us a call at 802.528.2200.
