Mercedes CLS 450 rental contract

This Self-Drive Vehicle Rental Agreement is between Drivn Dallas (Company) and the approved renter identified in the electronic signature record (Renter). It governs the company-owned vehicle named in this agreement. The signed record contains the exact vehicle, security deposit, requested rental dates and location, renter identity, agreement version, and terms accepted electronically. No other document is incorporated unless it existed when Renter signed, was specifically identified in the signed record by version or date, and was provided to Renter before signature.

The rental dates shown in the signed record are requested dates until Company confirms availability and accepts the reservation in writing. Before vehicle release, Company will provide a final booking confirmation stating the rates, included mileage, taxes, delivery or pickup arrangements, approved drivers, and any optional charges, and Renter must accept those transaction details in writing. A material change to this signed agreement requires a new signed agreement or addendum. Electronic signature alone does not guarantee availability or place a charge.

Before release, each approved driver must present a valid physical driver's license, satisfy Company's vehicle-specific age and driving-history requirements, and complete any identity verification Company reasonably requests. Renter represents that all information supplied is accurate and will promptly report any suspension, restriction, or change before the rental begins.

Renter must maintain primary automobile liability coverage with limits of at least $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident for bodily injury and property damage, plus comprehensive and collision coverage acceptable to Company with at least $300,000 in coverage and sufficient to cover the rented vehicle's actual cash value, for the entire rental term. Renter must provide proof on request. Unless a separate written damage waiver is offered and accepted, Company does not provide insurance or a damage waiver. Renter remains responsible for deductibles, exclusions, denied claims, and amounts not paid by an insurer.

Renter must use the vehicle carefully, lawfully, and only on maintained public roads. The vehicle may not be used:

• by an unauthorized driver or for subrental, ride-share, delivery, taxi, or transportation for compensation;
• in a race, speed test, track event, driving lesson, exhibition, burnout, launch-control demonstration, or other competitive or abusive activity;
• while any driver is impaired, fatigued, distracted, unlicensed, or using alcohol, cannabis, an illegal drug, or medication that makes driving unsafe;
• for any unlawful purpose, to flee law enforcement, to carry contraband, or to transport hazardous or explosive material;
• to tow, push, jump-start, or propel another vehicle or object;
• off-road, through standing water, on an unmaintained surface, or through a structure without adequate height or width clearance;
• outside the United States, or outside a geographic limit stated in this agreement or a separately signed and retained written addendum, without Company's prior written approval;
• when a warning light, low tire, overheating, unusual noise, smoke, fluid leak, collision, or other condition makes continued use unsafe or likely to cause damage; or
• with occupants, cargo, or weight exceeding manufacturer limits, or with cargo that is not properly secured.

Renter must use the required grade of fuel, keep the vehicle locked and secured, safeguard all keys and accessories, and follow all operating instructions. Smoking, vaping, burning substances, reckless operation, intentional misuse, and removal or alteration of vehicle equipment are prohibited. Pets require Company's prior written approval.

The vehicle may contain manufacturer or Company telematics, GPS, recovery, diagnostic, mileage, or security technology. Renter may not disable, remove, cover, interfere with, or attempt to access that equipment. Subject to applicable law, Company may use available vehicle data only for safety, maintenance, recovery, theft prevention, administering the rental, investigating incidents, and enforcing this agreement.

Renter must immediately stop using the vehicle when unsafe, protect it from further loss, contact emergency services when appropriate, and notify Company without delay of any crash, damage, theft, vandalism, impound, warning light, breakdown, tire damage, glass damage, or other incident. Renter must not admit fault, promise payment, abandon the vehicle, or arrange repairs or towing without Company's authorization except when necessary for immediate safety.

Renter must obtain names, contact and insurance information, photographs, witness details, and a police report when required or reasonably requested, and must fully cooperate with Company and all insurers. Renter authorizes Company to communicate with insurers and assigns to Company any insurance proceeds payable for loss involving the vehicle, to the extent permitted by law.

To the extent permitted by law, Renter is responsible for loss of or damage to the vehicle during the rental term regardless of fault, including repair or replacement, towing, storage, impound, appraisal, recovery, administrative expense, reasonable loss of use, and diminished value, less amounts actually recovered by Company for the same loss. Renter is also responsible for fuel, tolls, parking charges, traffic or camera citations, taxes, cleaning beyond ordinary use, missing equipment, lost keys, and lawful collection costs.

Renter authorizes Company to apply the security deposit and charge an authorized payment method for amounts due under this agreement and transaction details Renter separately accepts in writing, after providing any notice required by law. This agreement does not itself collect or store payment-card information.

Renter must return the vehicle, keys, accessories, and equipment at the agreed place and time, with the agreed fuel level and in the same condition received except ordinary wear. Renter may not extend the rental without Company's prior written approval. Continuing to possess or use the vehicle after the authorized term is a material breach.

Company may terminate permission to use the vehicle and, where lawful, peacefully recover it if Renter materially breaches this agreement, the vehicle is abandoned or illegally parked, Company reasonably believes the vehicle or public is at risk, or the authorized term expires. Renter is responsible for lawful recovery expenses and personal property left in the vehicle is handled as required by law.

Renter is responsible for claims, loss, liability, and expense arising from Renter's possession or use of the vehicle, including conduct by anyone Renter permits to access it, except to the extent caused by Company's gross negligence, willful misconduct, or another liability that cannot lawfully be limited. Renter will defend and indemnify Company and its owners, employees, and agents to the extent allowed by law.

Company is not responsible for personal property left in or around the vehicle except where applicable law provides otherwise. Nothing in this agreement waives a right or remedy that cannot lawfully be waived.

Renter consents to conduct this agreement electronically and use a typed name and the Sign & Submit action as Renter's electronic signature. This consent applies to this rental agreement and its related notices. Before signing, Renter may download or print the agreement or request a paper copy from Company without an electronic-copy fee. Renter may withdraw electronic consent before signing or provide or update an email address for this transaction by calling Company at (469) 706-0866. Withdrawal may require completing the agreement on paper and may delay or prevent vehicle release, but no fee is charged merely for withdrawing consent.

To retain electronic records, Renter needs a current web browser, internet access, and software capable of opening or printing an HTML document. A retainable signed copy is available for immediate download after signing. For a reservation-linked signing flow, Company also sends the copy to the renter email address verified by one-time code. An email address entered in a direct or offline signing flow is unverified contact information only and is not used to deliver the signed record; Company staff receive the completed record, and Renter may download, print, or request another electronic or paper copy. Server records—including the contract version, exact terms digest, final document digest, the email address if provided, consent and signature timestamps, signing workflow, and security evidence—may be used to attribute and prove the electronic signature.

Texas law governs this agreement, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Exclusive venue lies in a court of competent jurisdiction in Dallas County, Texas, unless applicable law requires otherwise. If any provision is unenforceable, it will be limited only as necessary and the remaining provisions remain effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver.

This signed agreement and only the records specifically identified in it form the entire agreement concerning vehicle use, the security deposit, renter obligations, and allocation of risk, and replace prior discussions about those subjects. A later booking confirmation, invoice, condition report, or approved-driver list supplies transaction details but does not change these signed terms unless Renter separately accepts a written amendment. No future, blank, or unidentified document is incorporated. Headings aid reading and do not limit the text. Renter confirms there are no blank terms being accepted and has had the opportunity to ask questions and seek independent advice.

Renter's signature is a binding offer and acknowledgment. The rental becomes effective only when Company accepts the reservation in writing and releases the vehicle. Company may decline or cancel before release if eligibility, insurance, payment, availability, safety, or other booking requirements are not satisfied.
