California Preview · Effective October 1, 2026

Read Before Signing. This is a legally binding contract. It contains a mandatory arbitration clause, a class-action waiver, an assumption of risk, a personal guaranty, and provisions that shift financial responsibility for damage, loss, and third-party claims to you. You are strongly encouraged to review it with an attorney before signing the final executed version at pickup.
California Renter Provisions. California-specific disclosures required under Cal. Civ. Code § 1936 (rental-passenger-vehicle transactions), § 1671(b) (liquidated damages), the Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Civ. Code §§ 1750–1784), and the Private Attorneys General Act (Labor Code § 2698 et seq.) are provided in §§ 4b, 4c, 4d, 24a, 25a, 27a, and 27b of this Agreement.

1. Parties, Definitions & Vehicle Identification

This Motor Vehicle Rental Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into between GigWheels Private Rental Car Agency, together with its owners, officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, "GigWheels," "we," "us," "our," or "Owner"), and the individual identified in the signature block below ("Renter," "you," or "your").

Vehicle: The specific motor vehicle rented under this Agreement (the "Vehicle") is identified by year, make, model, VIN, license plate, color, and odometer reading on the Rental Face Sheet attached and incorporated into this Agreement at pickup.

Rental Face Sheet: The document signed at pickup identifying the Vehicle, rental start date, weekly rate, deposit paid, add-ons selected, fuel level, odometer reading, and pre-existing damage. The Face Sheet is incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.

2. Rental Term, Rates & Renewal

The rental term begins on the date and time the Vehicle is delivered to Renter's possession and continues on a weekly auto-renewing basis until either party terminates in accordance with this Agreement.

Weekly rates are set on the Rental Face Sheet and are billed in advance. Rates include the base weekly fee plus any selected add-ons (mileage plan, TNC Eligibility Fee for named-driver listing on the GigWheels commercial fleet policy where applicable, zero-deposit option, etc.). Applicable Georgia state and local taxes and rental-vehicle fees are additional.

Auto-renewal: Unless Renter provides written notice of non-renewal at least 48 hours before the current weekly period ends, the rental automatically renews for another 7-day period and the weekly charge is billed to the payment method on file. Renter authorizes such recurring charges.

Rate changes: GigWheels may adjust the weekly rate on 14 days' advance written notice (email or SMS to the address/number on file is sufficient). If Renter does not agree, Renter may terminate at the end of the current paid week without penalty.

3. Security Deposit & Payment Authorization

Renter shall pay a refundable security deposit of $1,000 (or such other amount stated on the Face Sheet) at or before pickup. If Renter selects the "Zero Deposit" add-on (at $50/week), the security deposit is waived in exchange for the non-refundable weekly surcharge.

Payment authorization: Renter authorizes GigWheels to charge Renter's credit card, debit card, or bank account on file for:

Deposit refund: Deposits are refunded per the Refund & Cancellation Policy — typically within 7–14 business days of Vehicle return, less any lawful deductions.

4. Permitted Use

The Vehicle may be operated ONLY for the following purposes and under the following conditions:

4a. Operating Restriction (State Boundaries)

§ 4a. Operating Restriction — Georgia-Registered Vehicle. Renter acknowledges and agrees that the Vehicle is registered, licensed, titled, and insured under the laws of the State of Georgia and is a Georgia-fleet vehicle. Renter shall operate the Vehicle only within the geographic boundaries of the State of Georgia at all times during the rental term. Any operation of the Vehicle outside the State of Georgia — even briefly, even inadvertently, and even in an adjacent state — is a material breach of this Agreement and (i) immediately voids all insurance coverage extended by GigWheels, (ii) makes Renter personally and fully liable for all resulting damage, loss, third-party claims, towing, and repatriation costs, (iii) authorizes GigWheels to charge the payment method on file for an out-of-state recovery fee of $500 plus mileage, and (iv) may result in immediate termination and repossession under §15. Renter shall initial the Operating-Restriction acknowledgment at signing to confirm understanding of this clause.
§ 4a. Operating Restriction — California-Registered Vehicle. Renter acknowledges and agrees that the Vehicle is registered, licensed, titled, and insured under the laws of the State of California and is a California-fleet vehicle. Renter shall operate the Vehicle only within the geographic boundaries of the State of California at all times during the rental term. Any operation of the Vehicle outside the State of California — even briefly, even inadvertently, and even in an adjacent state — is a material breach of this Agreement and (i) immediately voids all insurance coverage extended by GigWheels, (ii) makes Renter personally and fully liable for all resulting damage, loss, third-party claims, towing, and repatriation costs, (iii) authorizes GigWheels to charge the payment method on file for an out-of-state recovery fee of $500 plus mileage, and (iv) may result in immediate termination and repossession under §15. Renter shall initial the Operating-Restriction acknowledgment at signing to confirm understanding of this clause.

5. Prohibited Uses (Void Insurance & Trigger Full Liability)

Any of the following uses is a material breach of this Agreement, immediately terminates any insurance coverage extended to Renter, and makes Renter personally and fully liable for all resulting damage, loss, injury, claims, and attorney's fees. GigWheels may also immediately repossess the Vehicle under §15.

Renter shall NOT, and shall not permit any other person to:

⚠️ Insurance Consequences. Any prohibited use listed above voids all insurance coverage — both GigWheels's policy AND typically the Renter's personal or rideshare policy. In such case, Renter is 100% personally responsible for all damage, loss, third-party injury or property claims, attorney's fees, and administrative costs, with no cap.

5.1 Material Representations — Truthfulness of Application

Renter represents and warrants to GigWheels that every statement, disclosure, and document Renter provided in the rental application, on the Rental Face Sheet, and in support of this Agreement is true, complete, and not misleading in any material respect, and that Renter has not omitted any fact that a reasonable rental-vehicle owner would consider material to the decision to rent. Without limiting the foregoing, Renter specifically represents and warrants that:

Consequences of misrepresentation. Any material misrepresentation or omission in the application or in the representations above, whether discovered before, during, or after the rental term, (a) constitutes a material breach of this Agreement, (b) is grounds for immediate termination under §15 and repossession, (c) voids all insurance coverage retroactive to the date of the misrepresentation under the fleet policy's Concealment, Misrepresentation, or Fraud provision (Business Auto Coverage Form §IV.B.2, as modified by CA 01 09 10 13 in Georgia), and (d) makes Renter personally liable for all loss, damage, third-party claims, and defense costs resulting from any accident or loss during the rental term as if no insurance had ever been in force. Renter's obligations under this §5.1 survive termination of this Agreement.

6. Driver Eligibility & Authorized Drivers

Renter and any Authorized Additional Driver must at all times during the rental:

Additional drivers: No person other than the Renter may operate the Vehicle unless that person is (a) listed on the Face Sheet as an Authorized Additional Driver, (b) has passed GigWheels's driver-screening process, (c) has been enrolled as a covered driver under the GigWheels fleet policy, and (d) has signed this Agreement or a joinder to it. Unauthorized-driver operation is a prohibited use under §5.

6.1 Renter's Ongoing Duty to Notify

Throughout the rental term, Renter shall notify GigWheels in writing (email to rent@gogigwheels.com or via the customer portal) within 24 hours of any of the following events affecting Renter or any Authorized Additional Driver:

Failure to notify GigWheels within 24 hours of any of the above is a material breach of this Agreement and, independently, may void insurance coverage retroactive to the event.

6.2 GigWheels's Right to Re-Verify Eligibility

Renter authorizes GigWheels, at any time and at any interval during the rental term, to (a) re-run Renter's motor vehicle record (MVR) with any state licensing authority, (b) re-verify Renter's driver-license status through third-party data providers, (c) re-run Renter's criminal-background and identity checks, and (d) re-verify proof of Renter-provided insurance under §7.1. This authorization survives each auto-renewing weekly period and continues for as long as the Vehicle is in Renter's possession. If any re-verification reveals that Renter no longer meets the eligibility criteria in §6, GigWheels may (i) immediately suspend or terminate this Agreement under §15, (ii) recover the Vehicle, and (iii) charge Renter for any resulting fees, in addition to any other remedies. This right is in addition to, and does not replace, Renter's affirmative duty to notify under §6.1.

7. Insurance Coverage & Renter's Responsibility

⚠️ READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. The insurance carried by GigWheels on the Vehicle is limited, has a $2,500 deductible, and does not respond while Renter is logged into any rideshare or delivery platform. Renter is personally responsible for anything the policy does not pay. This section describes what is and is not covered so Renter can make informed decisions.

⚠️ GigWheels does NOT sell any Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), personal-accident insurance, or personal-effects coverage. No such product is or has ever been offered to Renter. The only renter-facing use of the GigWheels commercial fleet policy is listing Renter as a named driver for rideshare / Transportation Network Company (TNC) platform eligibility (e.g., Uber / Lyft require drivers to appear on a commercial fleet policy). Being named on the policy for TNC-eligibility purposes is NOT personal auto insurance, does NOT cover personal use or on-trip accidents, does NOT cover physical damage to the Vehicle (see §8), and does NOT satisfy Renter's obligation below to maintain Renter's own auto liability plus rideshare/TNC coverage. Any representation to the contrary — whether oral, prior-draft, or from any third party — is superseded by this Agreement.

7.1 The GigWheels Fleet Policy

The Vehicle is covered under a commercial auto policy issued by Mobilitas Insurance Company (NAIC 16392), placed through Roamly Insurance Group, in the name of the fleet's authorized rental network (Overland Indemnity, LLC). The policy number and effective dates are stated on the Certificate of Insurance available on request. The policy provides the following coverages, subject in every case to the deductibles, exclusions, endorsements, and conditions of the policy itself:

The coverage territory is the United States of America and Canada only. Coverage is excess over any other collectible insurance available to Renter (including any gig-platform-provided insurance and any personal or commercial auto policy the Renter carries); if no other collectible insurance is available, the fleet policy will respond primary subject to all its exclusions.

7.1a  Scope of Fleet Liability Coverage — Third-Party Only, Off-Rental Context (Plain English)

⚠️ What the fleet liability policy actually covers in plain English:

What the fleet liability policy does NOT cover during Renter's rental:

Bottom line: During the rental Renter must carry Renter's own auto-liability insurance meeting at least the applicable state minimum limits under §7.1 above. If Renter causes an accident that injures another person or damages their property, Renter is personally liable to that person for the full amount of the claim, defense costs, and any judgment — regardless of whether, or how much, the GigWheels fleet policy pays. Renter is also responsible to GigWheels under §8 for all damage to the Vehicle itself. This §7.1a is a plain-English restatement of §§ 7.1, 7.2, 7.4, and 7.6; in any conflict the technical sections control, but Renter cannot later claim ambiguity about what the fleet policy does.

7.2 🔴 RIDESHARE & DELIVERY EXCLUSION — Coverage Does Not Apply While You Are Logged Into a Gig App

The fleet policy contains a Public or Livery Passenger Conveyance and On-demand Delivery Services Exclusion (endorsement form CA 23 45 11 20). This exclusion is on EVERY coverage part — Liability, Physical Damage, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists, and Auto Medical Payments.

The exclusion states, in relevant part: "This insurance does not apply to any covered 'auto' while being used… (1) As a public or livery conveyance for passengers. This includes, but is not limited to, any period of time a covered 'auto' is being used by an 'insured' who is logged into a 'transportation network platform' as a driver, whether or not a passenger is 'occupying' the covered 'auto'; or (2) By an 'insured' who is logged into a 'transportation network platform' or 'delivery network platform' as a driver to provide 'delivery services', whether or not the goods, items or products to be delivered are in the covered 'auto'."

Plain-language meaning: From the moment Renter (or any driver) taps “Go Online” or “Start Dash” on Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Shipt, Roadie, Spark, or any other transportation-network or delivery-network platform — and continuing until Renter logs off — the GigWheels fleet policy pays nothing. It does not matter whether a passenger is in the car, whether goods are in the car, whether the app is idle, or whether a trip is in progress.

During those app-active periods Renter must rely on: (a) the app-provided insurance supplied by the platform Renter is logged into (e.g., Uber's / Lyft's Period 1, 2, and 3 coverage), and/or (b) Renter's own personal / commercial / rideshare auto policy. If neither responds, Renter is personally liable for the entire loss — damage to the Vehicle at full replacement value, damage to third-party vehicles and property, third-party injuries, defense costs, and everything else.

7.3 What the Renter Owes Even When Coverage Applies — The $2,500 Deductible

Even when the fleet policy does respond to a physical-damage loss (i.e., the loss did not occur during an app-active period and no other exclusion applies), Renter is responsible for the $2,500 per-loss deductible on Comprehensive and Collision. This deductible is Renter's obligation to GigWheels regardless of fault, and Renter authorizes GigWheels to charge the payment method on file for the deductible amount under §3. If the actual repair or replacement cost is less than $2,500, Renter is responsible for the actual cost.

7.4 Renter's Own Insurance — Strongly Recommended; Required If Driving for Any Gig Platform

Because the fleet policy carries only state-minimum liability limits, rejects UM/UIM in Georgia, and excludes all app-active periods, Renter is strongly encouraged to carry Renter's own auto insurance policy at higher limits, and required to carry a rideshare / TNC / delivery endorsement or commercial rider if Renter drives the Vehicle for any transportation-network or delivery-network platform. Renter's own insurance is the sole source of coverage during app-active periods (beyond whatever the gig platform itself provides), and is the sole source of any liability protection above the state-minimum limits carried by the fleet policy.

Georgia UM/UIM advisory. The fleet policy has rejected Uninsured / Underinsured Motorists coverage for Georgia losses on the carrier's Liability Limits Schedule (form MIL A 011 0623). If Renter is struck by an at-fault driver who has no insurance or insufficient insurance, no UM/UIM benefit will be available to Renter under the fleet policy. Georgia's uninsured-motorist statute (O.C.G.A. § 33-7-11) allows drivers to purchase UM/UIM under their own policy for exactly this scenario. GigWheels strongly encourages Renter to purchase UM/UIM coverage under Renter's own auto policy and to consider "added-on" limits, which stack on top of the at-fault driver's policy. GigWheels makes no warranty that any UM/UIM protection is available to Renter under the fleet policy.

Subrogation waiver requirement. If Renter maintains a personal or commercial auto policy that would respond to a loss involving the Vehicle, Renter shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) name GigWheels (and, on request, the fleet's authorized rental network) as an additional insured for the term of the rental, and (b) obtain a waiver of subrogation against GigWheels under that policy. The fleet policy contains a reciprocal waiver-of-subrogation endorsement (form CA 04 43 11 20) that applies where required by written contract; this §7.4 constitutes such a written contract.

🔴 Insurance Reimbursement Covenant. To the maximum extent permitted by law and without limiting §16 (Indemnification), Renter expressly agrees to reimburse GigWheels, on written demand, for every dollar the fleet insurer pays out on account of any accident, claim, or loss involving the Vehicle during Renter's rental term — including, without limitation, third-party bodily-injury payments, third-party property-damage payments, defense costs, adjuster fees, and any amounts paid because a governing state's compulsory financial-responsibility law prevented the insurer from denying the claim under a policy exclusion (including any payment made because the insurer could not enforce the app-active period exclusion, the unauthorized-driver exclusion, or the criminal-acts exclusion up to the state statutory minimum). This is a separate contractual obligation of Renter to GigWheels and does not depend on whether the underlying loss was "covered" by insurance; it is Renter's promise to make GigWheels whole for any premium impact, deductible, self-insured retention, or first-dollar payment the fleet carrier makes on Renter's behalf. Renter authorizes GigWheels to charge the payment method on file for all such amounts under §3 and, if unpaid, to pursue collection under §21.

7.5 Rated / Scheduled Driver Requirement

The fleet policy covers only individuals who are (a) screened and approved by GigWheels under §6, and (b) listed on the carrier's Driver Schedule as a "rated" member. Renter represents that Renter has completed GigWheels's driver-enrollment process. Any operation of the Vehicle by a person not listed on the Driver Schedule — even with Renter's permission — falls outside the definition of "member" and "insured" under endorsement MCA Z 013 0126, and voids all coverage for that operation. Unrated-driver losses are 100% Renter's responsibility. If Renter's rated status is terminated or lapses during the rental term, Renter shall immediately stop driving the Vehicle and shall not resume until GigWheels confirms re-enrollment in writing.

7.6 Other Coverage Voiders — Additional Exclusions Under the Fleet Policy

The fleet policy also excludes coverage in the following circumstances (non-exhaustive list, referenced by endorsement form). A loss falling under any exclusion is 100% Renter's financial responsibility:

7.7 No Loss-of-Use Coverage — Renter Pays for Downtime

Loss-of-use expenses are deleted from the fleet Physical Damage coverage by endorsement MCA Z 013 0126. Accordingly, if the Vehicle is out of service due to a covered loss, Renter is responsible for GigWheels's loss-of-use damages as set out in §8 (daily equivalent of the weekly rate for each day out of service, up to 60 days). No insurance available to Renter will pay this amount to GigWheels.

7.8 Certificate of Insurance Available on Request

Renter may request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) showing the current insurer, policy number, effective dates, and coverages in force. GigWheels will provide the COI within a reasonable time. The COI is issued for informational purposes only, does not amend or extend coverage, and does not create any contract between the insurer and Renter. Renter is not a named insured under the fleet policy; Renter's status is that of a "member" and "insured" only as, and to the extent, defined by the policy.

⚠️ Bottom Line. The GigWheels fleet policy provides only state-minimum liability, rejects UM/UIM in Georgia, has a $2,500 deductible on physical damage, pays nothing during any period Renter is logged into a rideshare or delivery app, and does not cover loss of use, punitive damages, criminal acts, controlled substances, racing, use as a residence, firearms, or unrated drivers. In every situation not covered, Renter is 100% personally liable for the full loss, third-party claims, defense costs, and GigWheels's damages under §8. Renter should carry Renter's own auto insurance at higher limits, and must carry a rideshare / delivery endorsement if driving for any gig platform.

8. Renter's Financial Responsibility for Damage, Loss & Theft

Renter is responsible for the Vehicle from pickup until returned to GigWheels's authorized location and inspected. Renter's financial responsibility is UNCAPPED and includes, without limitation:

These amounts are due within 15 days of GigWheels's written demand. Renter authorizes charging the payment method on file for any and all such amounts (see §3).

9. Mechanical Condition & Renter's Duty to Inspect

Renter acknowledges receiving the Vehicle in visibly good operating condition, subject only to the pre-existing damage noted on the Face Sheet. Renter has had full opportunity to inspect the Vehicle before taking possession and represents that it is fit for Renter's intended use.

Continuing duty: Renter shall inspect the Vehicle daily and shall not operate the Vehicle if any warning light is illuminated, fluid is leaking, tire pressure is abnormal, or any mechanical, electrical, or safety component is not functioning properly. Renter shall immediately notify GigWheels and cease operation.

Operating a Vehicle with a known or reasonably discoverable defect is gross negligence and voids all insurance coverage.

11. Tolls, Tickets, Citations & Impound Fees

Tolls: Renter is responsible for all tolls incurred during the rental. GigWheels will pay any toll bill received and charge Renter's payment method for the toll amount plus a $5 administrative fee per toll transaction.

Tickets & citations: Renter is responsible for all parking tickets, traffic citations, red-light-camera and speed-camera violations, and any other government-issued fine incurred during the rental. GigWheels will process each citation and charge Renter's payment method for the fine plus a $25 administrative fee. Renter authorizes GigWheels to identify Renter as the responsible driver to any issuing authority.

Impound: If the Vehicle is impounded for any reason attributable to Renter's conduct, Renter is responsible for all impound, storage, and recovery costs plus a $250 recovery fee.

Criminal charges: Any conduct that results in criminal charges (DUI, hit-and-run, reckless driving, drug trafficking, etc.) is a material breach; the rental terminates immediately, and Renter is fully liable for the Vehicle and any related third-party claims.

12. Accidents, Theft & Reporting Duties

Renter shall, in the event of any accident, collision, theft, vandalism, or damage:

  1. Ensure safety — check for injuries, move to a safe location if possible, call 911 for injuries or serious damage;
  2. Call law enforcement and obtain a police report for any accident involving injury, another vehicle, or property damage over $500;
  3. Notify GigWheels within 24 hours at (404) 360-3195 and follow up in writing (email to rent@gogigwheels.com);
  4. Do not admit fault or negotiate any settlement with any party;
  5. Obtain the other driver's name, license, insurance, plate, and contact information; photograph the scene, damage, and vehicles; obtain witness names and contact info;
  6. Cooperate fully with GigWheels, insurers, law enforcement, and legal counsel in any investigation, claim, or proceeding, including providing statements and testifying if required.

Failure to comply with any of the above voids insurance coverage and makes Renter personally liable for the full loss and any third-party claim.

13. GPS/Telematics Monitoring — Consent

Renter acknowledges and consents that the Vehicle contains one or more GPS tracking devices, telematics units, and/or dash cameras, and that continuous, real-time and ongoing telematics data collection is a condition of GigWheels's commercial fleet auto insurance. GigWheels and its insurers may use these devices to record and receive:

GigWheels may use, share, and rely on this data to:

Insurance consequence of interruption. Renter acknowledges that the underlying fleet policy is issued in reliance on the continuous provision of telematics data. Any interruption, disabling, obstruction, tampering, or failure to provide such data — whether by Renter's action, negligence, or by leaving the Vehicle in a location that blocks signal for an extended period — may void insurance coverage for the Vehicle during the interruption and thereafter.

Tampering prohibited. Any attempt to disable, remove, obstruct, or interfere with a GPS device, telematics unit, or dash camera is a material breach; the rental terminates immediately; and Renter is liable for the cost of the device ($500 minimum) plus a $500 tampering fee, plus full liability for the Vehicle. Renter shall not remove any factory-installed OBD-II device.

See our Privacy Policy for how telematics data is stored, used, and retained.

14. Late Return, Extension & Abandonment

Return time: Renter shall return the Vehicle at the location and time specified on the Face Sheet, or the end of the current auto-renewing weekly period.

Grace period: A 2-hour grace period applies. After the grace period, a late fee of $25 per hour applies (up to the daily equivalent of the weekly rate per day).

24-hour rule: If the Vehicle is not returned within 24 hours of the scheduled return time and Renter has not communicated with GigWheels, the Vehicle is deemed unlawfully retained. GigWheels may (a) file a stolen-vehicle report with law enforcement, (b) suspend all insurance coverage, (c) initiate repossession under §15, and (d) hold Renter liable for the full replacement value of the Vehicle plus all associated costs.

Abandonment: Personal property left in the Vehicle after return is considered abandoned after 14 days and may be discarded without further notice. GigWheels is not responsible for loss or damage to any personal property left in the Vehicle.

15. Default & Immediate Repossession

Any of the following is an "Event of Default":

Upon any Event of Default, GigWheels may, in addition to all other remedies available at law:

⚠️ Consent to Self-Help Repossession. Renter expressly consents that GigWheels or its agent may enter upon any premises where the Vehicle is located and take possession without prior notice, provided no breach of the peace occurs. Renter waives any claim for trespass or conversion arising from lawful repossession.

16. Indemnification

16.1 Insurance Reimbursement Covenant (Cross-Reference)

In addition to the indemnity in §16, Renter has separately covenanted under §7.4 (Insurance Reimbursement Covenant) to reimburse GigWheels for every dollar the fleet insurer pays out on account of any accident, claim, or loss involving the Vehicle during Renter's rental term, including any statutory-minimum payment the insurer could not deny under an otherwise-applicable policy exclusion. That covenant is incorporated into this §16 by reference, is a separate and independent contractual obligation of Renter (not a duplicate of indemnity), and survives termination of this Agreement on the same terms as §16.

16.2 Graves Amendment — Federal Preemption of Vicarious Owner Liability (49 U.S.C. § 30106)

17. Limitation of Liability

Note: This limitation does not apply to (a) claims arising from GigWheels's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) statutory rights that cannot be waived under Georgia or federal law; (c) claims by third parties injured by Renter's operation of the Vehicle; or (d) any minimum insurance coverage required by O.C.G.A. § 33-34-3.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

19. Assumption of Risk

Renter acknowledges that operating a motor vehicle — particularly for rideshare or delivery work with elevated mileage and extended hours — involves inherent risks including without limitation collision, injury, death, property damage, robbery, assault by passengers or third parties, weather hazards, and mechanical failure. Renter voluntarily assumes all such risks and releases GigWheels and the Indemnified Parties from any claim arising out of any risk inherent in the operation of the Vehicle, except for claims arising from GigWheels's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20. Personal Guaranty

If Renter enters into this Agreement in the name of an LLC, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, the individual signing this Agreement (the "Guarantor") personally, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt performance of all obligations of Renter under this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all rent, damages, fees, indemnity obligations, and attorney's fees. This is a guaranty of payment and performance, not of collection, and is enforceable directly against the Guarantor without any requirement that GigWheels first proceed against the entity.

The Guarantor waives:

21. Attorney's Fees, Costs & Late Charges

If any amount owed under this Agreement is not paid when due and is placed with an attorney for collection, or if any legal action is required to enforce this Agreement, Renter shall pay GigWheels's reasonable attorney's fees in the amount of 15% of the outstanding principal and interest, plus all court costs, collection agency fees, and expenses, in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11.

Interest: All past-due amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by Georgia law, from the date due until paid in full.

Notice of intent to enforce attorney's fees provision: Renter is hereby notified pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11 that GigWheels intends to enforce the attorney-fee provisions of this Agreement in the event of default.

22. Waiver of Jury Trial

23. Mandatory Binding Arbitration

29. Renter Acknowledgments (Initial Each Line)

By initialing each of the following lines on the final executed version, Renter separately acknowledges and agrees to the following material terms:

  1. I have read and understand this Agreement, including all sections regarding insurance, damage liability, and prohibited uses.
  2. I understand my financial responsibility for damage to or loss of the Vehicle is UNCAPPED and includes replacement value, diminished value, loss of use, and administrative fees.
  3. I understand the GigWheels fleet insurance policy provides only state-minimum liability limits, has a $2,500 physical-damage deductible, and does not respond during any period I am logged into a rideshare or delivery app (Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, and similar), as described in §7.
  4. I have separately covenanted under §7.4 / §16.1 to reimburse GigWheels for every dollar the fleet insurer pays out on my behalf during my rental, including any state-minimum payment the insurer could not deny under an otherwise-applicable exclusion.
  5. I represent and warrant under §5.1 that every statement I made in the application and this Agreement is true and complete, and I understand that any material misrepresentation voids all insurance coverage retroactively and makes me personally liable for the entire loss.
  6. I understand and agree under §16.2 that the federal Graves Amendment (49 U.S.C. § 30106) preempts state vicarious-liability statutes, so GigWheels is not vicariously liable for my acts or the acts of any Authorized Additional Driver, and I will indemnify GigWheels against any claim brought against it solely on the basis of ownership of the Vehicle.
  7. I understand any prohibited use (§5) — including operation outside Georgia, DUI, unauthorized drivers, or subleasing — voids all insurance and makes me personally liable for the entire loss.
  8. I understand any prohibited use (§5) — including operation outside California, DUI, unauthorized drivers, or subleasing — voids all insurance and makes me personally liable for the entire loss.
  9. Operating Restriction (§4a): I understand and agree that this Georgia-registered Vehicle may be operated only within the State of Georgia at all times during the rental term. Crossing state lines is a material breach and voids insurance.
  10. Operating Restriction (§4a): I understand and agree that this California-registered Vehicle may be operated only within the State of California at all times during the rental term. Crossing state lines is a material breach and voids insurance.
  11. I consent to GPS tracking, telematics monitoring, and dash-cam recording in the Vehicle at all times.
  12. I consent to self-help repossession of the Vehicle by GigWheels or its agent upon my default, without prior notice, provided no breach of the peace occurs.
  13. I waive my right to a jury trial and agree that disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia.
  14. I waive my right to a jury trial and agree that disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration in the City and County of San Francisco, California, subject to California-law carve-outs including PAGA.
  15. I waive my right to participate in any class action or collective proceeding against GigWheels.
  16. If I am signing for a business entity, I personally guarantee all obligations of the entity under this Agreement.
  17. I understand that this website version is a preview only and the executed version at pickup is the binding document.
