Terms & Conditions

1. The Reservation, Payments, Deposits & Cancel Terms. Agreement is between renter and Fireside Franchisee (also referred to as FF).
   1. Rental Payments and Deposits
      • PAYMENT POLICY: A deposit is required to complete the reservation. The remaining balance of the reservation is due 30 days prior to the rental start date. The refundable damage deposit will be charged the day before your reservation starts. The payment method MUST be the same name as the reservation holder.
      • DAMAGE DEPOSIT: The damage deposit is provided as security against damage to the rental, theft, late check-out and violation of any renter’s agreement contained in this agreement. An inspection is done after each check-out for any damage done to real or personal property. The renter(s) shall be liable and solely responsible for any property damage, accident, injury to any person or loss sustained by any person. FF hereby agrees to indemnify and hold FF harmless from any and all claims, including those of third parties, arising out of or in any way related to renter(s) use of premises or items provided therein. Renter(s) assumes the risk of injury or other losses relating to any recreational activities and will hold FF harmless with respect thereto. Renter(s) agrees to indemnify FF for any damages to the dwelling, grounds, furnishings, and household items. In the event that damage results from a renter(s) occupancy, FF is authorized to utilize the credit card on file or the cash damage deposit to cover said damages or additional cleaning costs, including the charging or billing of any additional amounts that exceed the deposit held. FF is not responsible for articles left on premises. There will be a $10.00 charge in addition to shipping charges for handling the return of any articles found by housekeeping. Lost & Found will be held for 30 Days. After such time all items will be donated to charity. In the event of an insurance claim renter understands that they may be charged more than one deductible if the insurance provider decides damages to be considered separate insurance claims. If we need to claim any portion of your damage deposit, there will be a processing fee charge.
      • DAMAGE DEPOSIT REFUND: A damage deposit is authorized to be charged for the booking of the rental. Any damage to the rental unit is the responsibility of the renter and will be deducted from the damage deposit. FF has up to 7 days from the return of the unit to inspect the unit for damages and contact the customer. The damage deposit will be returned within another 5-10 business days if there are no damages to the rented unit and can be held up to 60 days if damages occur that need quotes and/or repairs
   2. Cancellation Policy
      • Please refer to the cancellation policy and terms provided by the rental platform that you booked from. No refunds will be given for cancellations of reservations during a holiday and event weeks for early check-outs or no-shows. No refunds will be given for cancellation or interruption that occurs due to inclement weather.
   3. Rental Floor Plans
      • COMPARABLE CAMPER CLAUSE: FF reserves the right to place you in a comparable camper. This is very uncommon but situations do arise where we will need to move you into another camper at our discretion. This would typically happen if the camper you reserved was damaged or needed service, etc.
   4. Reservation and Signing
      • The person named on the Reservation and the Final Contract must have a valid major credit card in their name, present it and their identification and is the only person authorized to sign the rental agreement. If additional drivers have been approved and are listed on the rental contract they may drive the RV, motorhome or trailer off our lot but may not sign the contract.
      • We reserve the right to refuse any rental application or reservation.
2. Operational Terms
   1. Rental PickUp
      • Please request your desired time during the reservation process. Plan for up to 45-60 minutes for your departure walkthrough. If you would like an earlier time, it may be available, but not guaranteed as your RV may be out on rent the night before your departure day.
      • We reserve the right not to assign early departure times, even if available one week out, to make the RV available for rent for the prior days to your departure and rental period. We operate more like a hotel, not a car rental agency.
   2. Rental Return
      • Please request your desired time during the reservation process. If you would like a later return time, it may be available, but not guaranteed as your RV may be rented back out that same day. 
      • We reserve the right not to assign late return times, even if available one week out, to make the RV available for rent for the next day after your return and rental period. Please remember that other guests may be waiting for the vehicle. We operate more like a hotel, not a car rental agency.
      • There are absolutely no refunds for early returns. The vehicle remains the responsibility of the renter until the unit has been returned to the designated lot.
      • The vehicle must be returned clean inside as received and the fuel level must be at or above departure level. If the RV is not returned clean and/or at fuel level below departure level, a $1 per minute cleaning fee will be charged and the fuel will be refilled at a price of $6.25 per gallon of fuel. The Renter must drop off the rental vehicle him or herself.
      • You must return the RV on the date and time specified in the rental contract. Failure to return on time will incur a $100/hr fee. If the late return affects another guest’s departure on the same day, a fee of up to 3 times the nightly rate may be charged.
   3. Rental Delivery
      • Delivery site must be free of shrubs, debris, and the delivery site must be wide enough to allow maneuverability for the driver and slide outs of the vehicle.
      • Delivery and Pick up fees include setup and teardown of available on site hookups if applicable.
   4. Check-in
      • Make sure to complete the check in at Departure Form Page – Fireside RV Rental either before you hook up to the travel trailer if you’re towing, before you start the RV if your renting a drive-able RV or within 15 minutes of arriving at your camper/RV if you’re having it delivered to log any damages or issues. Any damage or issue found upon our inspection after the rental is over will be your responsibility if they were not reported to us as mentioned above. If the check in form is not completed before the rental end date you will be held liable for any issues found and lose some or all of your deposit. You will also lose the right to dispute these charges as you didn’t complete the check in.
   5. Fuel Use
      • No warranties are made regarding fuel tank capacity or fuel mileage.
      • All gasoline, diesel or propane refueling during the trip is at Renters expense.
      • Upon return fuel (gas or diesel) must be at or above departure level.
      • Propane tank level upon return can be at any level with no additional costs. Your propane tank will be at least 1/2 upon departure.
   6.  Maintenance and Breakdown
      • THINGS HAPPEN AND WE TRY TO HELP: Plain and simple things can happen. RVs and travel trailers break and sometimes things don’t work. When “things happen” like: misc water issues, air conditioner freezes from running too much and needs to defrost, a camper isn’t cleaned to your standards or, other misc items, THE RENTER WILL AGREE TO WORK WITH FF AND HELP THEM TROUBLESHOOT ISSUES AS THEY ARISE. FF will dispatch an RV tech if they deem necessary. We truly want happy customers and repeat business so we take this privilege to make those judgment calls serious. Let’s say you don’t have hot water in the shower and we aren’t able to troubleshoot with you. We may decide not to dispatch an RV tech if the campground has shower rooms, etc. Let’s say you run out of propane. We will most likely ask you to get it refilled and then reimburse you. When situations arise we will work to try and resolve them, but not all issues can be fixed in the short time you’re renting from us. WE DO NOT typically refund more than $100 for these inconveniences. You are renting a place to sleep and you’re camping. If one of the situations mentioned above is unacceptable to you and you can’t adapt when things happen then please let us know as we may need to cancel your booking and refer you to another rental company.
      • Renter is responsible for checking the engine oil, fluids, and coolant levels at each refueling. Renter is responsible for mechanical damage due to negligence in vehicle operation or failure to provide normal on road maintenance.
      • In the event the motor home is in breakdown repair for 12 hours or more, through no fault of the customer, our responsibility to the customer is limited to refund of nightly rate or portion thereof.
      • All other items are not covered. These include, but are not limited to, automotive cruise control, interior lights, TVs, DVDs, any audio systems, electric bed or sofas and exterior showers.
      • Renter is responsible to change the engine oil and filters if specified by rental agreement in writing or traveling beyond the estimated mileage of the rental contract if the odometer of the vehicle surpasses the maintenance needed mileage sticker on the window of the RV and pointed out during the departure walkthrough. Renter must provide the oil change receipts upon their return.
      • Renter must call and notify us of pending maintenance required before performing service.
      • FF is not liable for Renter’s expenses due to unforeseen breakdowns beyond FF’s control.
   7. Electrical
      • I understand that the campers are designed to properly operate by being plugged into 30 amp (120 Volt) or 50 amp (240 Volt) service or run by the onboard generator if a drivable RV. I understand and will investigate on my end to make sure I have the proper campsite or generator that can properly handle powering the camper (Fireside RV Rental is not liable for any performance issues of the camper that require electricity if renter is powering the camper by an external generator or at a home) and agree not to use a 120 volt adapter when trying to run AC. I also understand the onboard 12 volt battery in the travel trailer is meant to power the CO2 detector and will not be a sufficient power source for use while camping.
   8. Awning
      • Damage to awnings is very common and can happen from rain, gust of winds, etc. The typical cost to fix just one slightly bent awning arm can be $400 or more. We strongly recommend you DO NOT use the awning at all but if you do, remember any damage is 100% paid for out of your damage deposit. Be aware, since awning damage is so common if your rental was damaged by a previous renter we will provide a 10X10 popup canopy if the awning has not yet been repaired.
   9. Appliances
      • The A/C, heat, awning, radio, microwave, television, jacks, plumbing, etc. are convenience items. If any malfunctions should occur with any of these items, no compensation will be made to you, but we will work to try and get issues addressed while the rental is underway. For assistance, you are advised to consult the campground host which are located at most campgrounds. Please know that the efficiency of propane fueled appliances may decrease in altitudes higher than 2,000 feet. 
3. Use and Restrictions and FESTIVAL CLAUSE
   1. Smoking Policy
      • NO SMOKING IS ALLOWED. Since many people have allergies and it is difficult to remove the odors and allergens associated with smoke, we must STRICTLY ENFORCE this policy. If evidence of smoking inside the rental is found, FF reserves the right to charge up to $750 to PROPERLY clean, treat and disinfect. In addition, any damage caused by smoking materials will be charged to renters damage deposit or credit card on file.
   2. Towing or using the hitch
      • Renter has checked the box above stating they have experience connecting, towing, and operating travel trailers. Renter has confirmed they have the proper tow vehicle with the round 7 prong wire harness, brake controller, will connect and disconnect the trailer on their own and have experience doing so.

      • If you are traveling to an elevation of 5,000 feet or more you may encounter troubles with the operation of the generator or propane refrigerator systems. If this occurs, we suggest you hook up to 110 volts to operate the 110-volt appliances. If the generator malfunctions due to elevation, please do not use or try to adjust the generator. No compensation will be made for generator/refrigerator malfunctions if traveling above 5,000 ft.
      • During the winter months we do not recommend that you travel to or through snow areas, use snow chains, or travel where the weather is below freezing. Tire chains can damage tires if not properly installed and the holding tanks may freeze and burst. The renter will be responsible to pay for any damages incurred.

      • FUEL TANKS: You must fill up your fuel tank (gas or diesel)to at least departure level in order not to be charged for fuel. (If we need to re-fuel for you, we charge $6.25 for gas or diesel). Please take a picture of the fuel gauge for your reference if needed. No need to refill the propane tank. It’s use is part of our service.
      • HOLDING TANKS: Please be sure to completely empty (DUMP) your gray and black tanks before return if you have not prepaid for us to dump your tanks for you. Please let us know if you did not dump tanks and we will be sure to do it for you for a fee. Do not try to empty the fresh water tank – return at any level.
      • CLEANING: RVs will be inspected, sanitized and cleaned when you get it. We ask that the unit be returned in the same general condition that you received it. If cleaning is required, appropriate charges will be deducted from your deposit at the rate of $1 per minute.
      • DAMAGES: If you or your guests on your trip caused any damage to the RV no matter how big or small, please let us know. It’s the right thing to do!
      • PETS: If you brought a pet with you on your trip, please be sure to remove any and ALL pet hair or shedding from the vehicle to avoid additional cleaning fees. Any pet not disclosed at departure will incur a minimum $200 cleaning fee plus $1 per minute rate charge.
