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:
- The initial weekly rent, deposit, and any selected add-ons;
- Each auto-renewing weekly rent charge;
- Mileage overages, tolls, tickets, citations, impound fees, and administrative processing fees;
- Damage, cleaning, fuel, and loss-of-use charges;
- Any amounts owed under this Agreement, including without limitation any deductibles, insurance claim shortfalls, third-party claim payments, or attorney's fees.
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:
- Geography: Within the geographic boundaries of the State of Georgia. Any operation outside Georgia is a material breach and may void insurance coverage. See §4a below.
- Geography: Within the geographic boundaries of the State of California. Any operation outside California is a material breach and may void insurance coverage. See §4a below.
- Purpose: Rideshare (Uber, Lyft), food/package delivery (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Instacart, Amazon Flex, Grubhub, Roadie, Shipt, etc.), and reasonable personal use incidental to gig work.
- Drivers: Only by Renter or an Authorized Additional Driver named on the Face Sheet and approved in writing by GigWheels.
- Compliance: In full compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and the terms of service of any gig platform on which the Vehicle is operated.
4a. Operating Restriction (State Boundaries)
- Estimated total price. Renter has been provided a good-faith written estimate of the total charges for the rental (base weekly rate, mileage plan, taxes, fees, and any optional add-ons) on the Rental Face Sheet before signing this Agreement.
- Mandatory rate components disclosed separately. The base rental rate, applicable California sales tax, vehicle license fee recovery (if any), tourism/concession fees (if any), and any other mandatory surcharges are itemized on the Rental Face Sheet, not bundled into a single unlabeled charge.
- Optional charges are optional. Any charge labeled "optional" on the Face Sheet (including roadside-assistance add-ons) is optional and is not a condition of renting the Vehicle. Renter may decline any optional product. GigWheels does not offer, sell, or provide any Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), personal-accident insurance, or personal-effects coverage.
- Additional-driver rights. Renter's spouse or registered domestic partner is an authorized driver at no additional charge, provided that person meets the driver-eligibility requirements in §6, holds a valid California driver's license, and is present at pickup or subsequently added to the Face Sheet in writing. Additional drivers who do not qualify as a spouse or domestic partner may be added for the fee stated on the Face Sheet.
- Fuel-service charge. If the Vehicle is not returned with the same fuel level shown on the Face Sheet at pickup, Renter will be charged the per-gallon refueling rate stated on the Face Sheet, which reflects GigWheels's actual cost plus a reasonable service component. Renter may avoid this charge by refueling the Vehicle before return.
- Airport concession recovery fee, if applicable. No airport concession recovery fee is charged unless the rental originates at a California airport location, in which case the fee is separately itemized on the Face Sheet.
GigWheels maintains a commercial automobile liability policy on its fleet for its own operational purposes, including (i) satisfying state DMV requirements for vehicle registration, (ii) covering GigWheels employees while operating fleet vehicles, and (iii) covering vehicle prep, maintenance, repositioning, and transport to or from repair facilities. This policy provides state-minimum third-party liability limits and is policy-level coverage of the fleet itself, not a product sold to Renter.
Renter may be added as a named driver on the GigWheels commercial policy solely to satisfy the driver-eligibility requirements of a rideshare / Transportation Network Company ("TNC") platform (such as Uber or Lyft) that requires its drivers to appear on a commercial fleet policy. Being listed as a named driver on the GigWheels commercial policy for TNC-eligibility purposes:
- is NOT personal auto insurance for the Renter;
- does NOT cover the Renter during any period of personal use of the Vehicle;
- does NOT cover the Renter during any on-trip accident, rideshare trip, delivery trip, or any other rental activity;
- does NOT cover physical damage to the Vehicle (see §8); and
- does NOT satisfy Renter's obligation under §6 to maintain personal automobile liability insurance meeting state minimums plus rideshare/TNC coverage.
Renter expressly acknowledges that GigWheels does NOT sell, offer, or provide any Collision Damage Waiver (CDW), Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), personal-accident insurance, or personal-effects coverage. Any representation to the contrary — whether oral, prior-draft, or from any third party — is superseded by this Agreement. Renter is fully responsible for all damage to, loss of, and third-party claims arising from the Vehicle while it is in Renter's possession, per §8 and §13.
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:
- Operate the Vehicle outside the State of Georgia (see §4a Operating Restriction — no exceptions granted for Georgia-fleet vehicles);
- Operate the Vehicle outside the State of California (see §4a Operating Restriction — no exceptions granted for California-fleet vehicles);
- Operate the Vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, marijuana, controlled substances, or any impairing drug (prescription or otherwise);
- Operate the Vehicle without a valid, unsuspended, unrestricted U.S. driver's license — including any period during which Renter's license has been suspended, revoked, cancelled, expired, or restricted for any reason (child-support arrears, unpaid citations, DUI, insurance lapse, medical restriction, or otherwise). Driving on a suspended, revoked, or cancelled license is a criminal act under the underlying fleet policy's Criminal Acts exclusion and voids all insurance coverage, including coverage for damage to the Vehicle itself;
- Permit any unauthorized person to drive the Vehicle (including friends, family, or any driver not named on the Face Sheet);
- Use, occupy, or permit the Vehicle to be used as a residence or overnight sleeping accommodation, whether temporary or permanent (e.g., sleeping in the Vehicle between shifts, using the Vehicle as a dwelling). Any loss occurring while the Vehicle is used as a residence is excluded from insurance coverage;
- Discharge, or allow to be discharged (accidentally or otherwise), any firearm or dischargeable weapon in, from, or in connection with the Vehicle. Loss arising in whole or in part out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of a firearm in the Vehicle is excluded from insurance coverage. Renter is solely responsible for compliance with all federal, state, and local firearm laws while the Vehicle is in Renter's possession;
- Use the Vehicle for any illegal purpose, including transport of controlled substances, weapons, stolen goods, or persons engaged in criminal activity;
- Use the Vehicle for towing, pushing, or propelling another vehicle or trailer;
- Use the Vehicle for off-road driving, racing, speed contests, driver training, stunt work, track events, or any competitive use;
- Use the Vehicle to transport hazardous, flammable, explosive, corrosive, or biohazardous materials (except in quantities typical of consumer/gig use);
- Sublet, sublease, rent, loan, or transfer the Vehicle to any third party, including but not limited to any re-rental platform (e.g., Turo, Getaround, HyreCar, Kyte);
- Use the Vehicle for taxi service, livery service, non-app-based ride service, or any commercial passenger transport outside approved gig-app platforms;
- Use the Vehicle for long-haul freight, courier, or logistics work outside standard gig-delivery apps;
- Transport more passengers than the number of factory-installed seatbelts;
- Smoke, vape, or permit smoking or vaping of any substance in the Vehicle (triggers a $250+ cleaning fee);
- Transport pets except properly secured service animals as required by the ADA (triggers cleaning fee if damage or excessive hair);
- Modify, alter, add decals to, or install aftermarket equipment in or on the Vehicle without prior written approval;
- Tamper with, disable, remove, or obstruct any GPS device, telematics unit, dash camera, or odometer (see §13);
- Operate the Vehicle in a manner that violates the manufacturer's guidelines, exceeds load ratings, or is otherwise reckless or grossly negligent;
- Fail to secure the Vehicle when unattended (unlocked, keys left inside, running while unoccupied);
- Leave the Vehicle in an area where it may be subject to seizure by law enforcement or a lienholder due to Renter's conduct.
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:
- Renter's driver's license is valid, current, unrestricted, and has not been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or downgraded within the past five (5) years except as disclosed in writing before signing;
- Renter has disclosed every arrest, citation, or conviction within the past seven (7) years for DUI/DWI, reckless driving, hit-and-run, fleeing/eluding, vehicular homicide, driving on a suspended license, or any other criminal traffic offense;
- Renter has disclosed every at-fault accident within the past three (3) years and every insurance claim (paid or denied) within the past three (3) years involving a motor vehicle Renter was operating;
- Renter's stated home address, phone number, email, employer or gig-platform status, and payment method are current and belong to Renter;
- Renter is not currently, and has not been within the past twelve (12) months, the subject of any repossession, non-return, or unresolved damage-claim dispute with any rental-vehicle owner, car-sharing platform, or fleet operator (including but not limited to Turo, Getaround, HyreCar, Kyte, Avail, or any competitor of GigWheels);
- Renter is not a signatory or beneficial party to any bankruptcy proceeding filed within the past twelve (12) months that Renter has not disclosed in writing;
- If Renter has represented that Renter carries a personal or commercial auto policy, that representation is accurate as of the date of signing and Renter has provided (or will provide within the timeframe requested) a true copy of the declarations page.
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:
- Be at least 25 years of age;
- Hold a valid, current, non-suspended, non-restricted, non-cancelled U.S. driver's license issued by a U.S. state or territory;
- Maintain an acceptable motor vehicle record (MVR) and background as determined by GigWheels in its reasonable discretion, consistent with the Privacy Policy and applicable law;
- Be actively approved as a driver on at least one supported gig-work platform (or in the process of onboarding);
- Be enrolled by GigWheels as a covered driver under GigWheels's commercial fleet auto policy and remain so enrolled for the entire rental term (see §7.5).
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:
- Any suspension, revocation, cancellation, expiration, or restriction of the driver's license — even temporary or administrative (e.g., failure-to-appear, child-support hold, unpaid ticket, medical, insurance-lapse);
- Any arrest or citation for driving under the influence (DUI/DWI), reckless driving, hit-and-run, fleeing/eluding, vehicular homicide, or any other criminal traffic offense;
- Any accident, collision, incident, or third-party claim involving the Vehicle, regardless of fault or apparent damage;
- Any lapse, cancellation, non-renewal, or material change in Renter's personal or rideshare auto-insurance coverage required under §7.1;
- Any change of address, phone number, or primary gig platform on which Renter is active.
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:
- Covered Autos Liability — bodily injury and property damage the Renter (as an "insured" member) becomes legally obligated to pay to third parties, at state statutory minimum limits (in Georgia: $25,000 per person / $50,000 per accident bodily injury and $25,000 property damage per O.C.G.A. § 40-9-37; in California and other operating states, the applicable state's minimum on the carrier's Liability Limits Schedule, form MIL A 011 0623);
- Auto Medical Payments — reasonable medical expenses for the driver and occupants injured in a covered accident, at the state-schedule limit;
- Uninsured / Underinsured Motorists — where required by the operating state and not rejected on the carrier's schedule (in Georgia the fleet policy currently rejects UM/UIM; no UM/UIM benefit is available for Georgia losses);
- Physical Damage — Comprehensive and Collision — damage to the Vehicle itself (theft, collision, vandalism, weather, glass, hit-and-run, etc.), on an actual-cash-value basis, subject to a $2,500 deductible per loss for every vehicle in the fleet (Vehicle Schedule, all listed VINs). Loss-of-use expenses are not paid under this coverage (endorsement MCA Z 013 0126 deletes Section III A.4.b Loss of Use Expenses).
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:
- The fleet liability policy exists primarily to satisfy state DMV vehicle-registration requirements. Every car on the road in Georgia (or California) must have at least minimum liability insurance in order to be registered and operated lawfully. The fleet policy fulfills that regulatory requirement.
- Its state-minimum third-party liability coverage responds to at-fault bodily-injury and property-damage claims arising while a GigWheels employee is operating the Vehicle during off-rental periods — i.e., prep, cleaning, maintenance, repositioning between locations, inspection drives, and pickup/return handling by staff.
- It is policy-level and applies to the entire fleet, which is why the same policy appears on every Vehicle's registration regardless of who is renting it at any given moment.
What the fleet liability policy does NOT cover during Renter's rental:
- It does NOT provide liability protection for Renter while Renter is in possession of the Vehicle. Renter is not a named insured on the fleet policy and the fleet policy is not Renter's auto insurance.
- It does NOT cover on-trip accidents — any accident while Renter is logged into a rideshare or delivery app as a driver falls under the exclusion described in §7.2.
- It does NOT cover personal use or any at-fault incident caused by Renter during the rental, even outside app-active periods, beyond the state statutory minimum the fleet carrier cannot deny under compulsory-insurance law (and Renter has agreed under §7.4 to reimburse GigWheels dollar-for-dollar for any such statutory-minimum payment).
- It does NOT cover Renter's passengers, Renter's injuries, or Renter's property.
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:
- Criminal Acts (MCA Z 002 1024, ¶ 4) — any loss caused by, or reasonably expected to result from, a criminal act or omission of the owner or operator, including driving without a license or on a suspended / revoked / canceled license. Traffic violations are not "criminal acts" for this purpose;
- Controlled Substances (MCA A 027 1124) — loss arising from the diversion, abuse, misuse, or delivery of opioids, narcotics, cannabis, or any Schedule I–V controlled substance;
- Expected or Intended Injury (MCA A 004 0622) — injury the "insured" expected, intended, or which might reasonably be expected to result from an intentional or criminal act;
- Racing / Speed Contests — any professional or organized racing, demolition contest, stunting activity, or practicing / preparation for the same;
- Vehicle Used as a Residence (MCA Z 002 1024, ¶ 6) — any loss while the Vehicle is used as a residence, temporary or permanent;
- Firearms (MCA Z 002 1024, ¶ 7) — any loss arising in whole or in part from the ownership, maintenance, or use of a firearm or dischargeable weapon;
- Unauthorized Permissive Use (MCA Z 002 1024, ¶ 5) — loss caused by anyone who failed to gain a "member's" permission, capped at state minimum financial responsibility;
- Punitive Damages (MCA A 008 0622) — punitive, exemplary, or multiple damages, fines, penalties, or court-ordered restitution;
- Passenger Loading / Unloading (MCA A 042 0923);
- Abuse or Molestation (MCA A 019 0922);
- Cyber Liability (MCA A 018 0922);
- Outside the U.S. / Canada — the coverage territory is limited to the United States and Canada; and see §4a operating-restriction geography clauses;
- Concealment, Misrepresentation, or Fraud in the rental application or claim submission voids the entire coverage form.
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.
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:
- Full retail replacement value of the Vehicle if declared a total loss (as determined by GigWheels in good faith by reference to Kelley Blue Book, NADA, and comparable market listings);
- Full cost of repair for any damage, mechanical or cosmetic, exceeding normal wear and tear, without deduction for depreciation;
- Diminished value — the reduction in the Vehicle's fair market value after repair;
- Loss of use at the daily equivalent of the weekly rate for each day the Vehicle is out of service due to damage or theft, up to 60 days;
- Administrative fee of $500 per claim to process damage/loss;
- Towing, storage, salvage, and recovery costs;
- Insurance deductible and any shortfall between insurance payout and actual loss;
- Third-party bodily injury, property damage, and defense costs to the extent not covered by insurance;
- Attorney's fees, court costs, and collection costs under §21.
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.
10. Maintenance, Fuel, Fluids & Tires
- Fuel: Return the Vehicle with the same fuel level as at pickup. Fuel shortfalls charged at $9.99/gallon plus a $25 refueling fee.
- Oil & fluids: Renter shall check oil and fluid levels weekly and notify GigWheels for scheduled service. Engine damage from low oil or overheating that Renter should have detected is not covered and is Renter's full responsibility.
- Tires: Renter shall check tire pressure weekly. Damage from underinflation, curb strikes, or driving on a flat is Renter's responsibility.
- Scheduled service: Renter shall bring the Vehicle in for scheduled service (oil changes, inspections) on GigWheels's schedule. Missed service that results in damage is Renter's responsibility.
- No unauthorized repairs: Renter shall not perform or authorize any repair, modification, or alteration without prior written approval. Unauthorized work is at Renter's cost and does not relieve Renter's liability for any resulting damage.
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Fuel shortfall | $9.99/gallon + $25 refueling fee |
| Mileage overage — Economy/SUV | $0.25 per mile over plan |
| Mileage overage — Van | $0.35 per mile over plan |
| Late return (after 2-hr grace) | $25/hour, up to daily rate |
| Late return > 24 hours | Theft report filed + full replacement liability |
| Smoking / vaping in Vehicle | $250 minimum + actual cleaning cost |
| Excessive cleaning required | $100 minimum |
| Pet damage / hair (non-service animal) | $150 minimum + actual cleaning cost |
| Toll processing fee (per toll) | $5.00 admin + actual toll amount |
| Citation/ticket processing | $25 admin + actual fine amount |
| Impound recovery fee | $250 admin + actual impound/storage cost |
| Damage/loss claim admin fee | $500 per claim |
| Lost key / key fob | Actual cost + $150 admin fee |
| Repossession fee | $500 + actual recovery cost |
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:
- Ensure safety — check for injuries, move to a safe location if possible, call 911 for injuries or serious damage;
- Call law enforcement and obtain a police report for any accident involving injury, another vehicle, or property damage over $500;
- Notify GigWheels within 24 hours at (404) 360-3195 and follow up in writing (email to rent@gogigwheels.com);
- Do not admit fault or negotiate any settlement with any party;
- Obtain the other driver's name, license, insurance, plate, and contact information; photograph the scene, damage, and vehicles; obtain witness names and contact info;
- 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:
- Time-stamped Vehicle location and route;
- Speed, harsh braking, acceleration, cornering, and other driver-behavior indicators;
- Mileage, odometer, and time-of-use data;
- Engine diagnostics and vehicle-status data (fault codes, battery, ignition state, seat-belt use);
- Fuel consumption and related powertrain telemetry;
- Interior and/or exterior video and audio from any installed dash camera;
- Any other data category the underlying fleet insurer requires from time to time.
GigWheels may use, share, and rely on this data to:
- Detect prohibited use (§5), including operation outside the fleet-registered state, unauthorized drivers (via pattern analysis), or reckless operation;
- Recover the Vehicle in the event of theft, default, or repossession (§15);
- Provide data to insurers, adjusters, law enforcement, or courts as required or requested;
- Satisfy GigWheels's obligations to its commercial fleet insurer, including the telematics-data-provision requirement stated in the applicable Roamly / Mobilitas telematics addendum.
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":
- Failure to pay any amount when due (rent, deposit, damages, fees);
- Any prohibited use under §5;
- Unauthorized-driver operation;
- Late return exceeding 24 hours without communication;
- Any misrepresentation on the application or in this Agreement;
- Tampering with GPS/telematics devices;
- Failure to maintain required insurance;
- Arrest of Renter or an Authorized Driver for a felony, DUI, or other serious offense;
- Any breach of this Agreement that is not cured within 3 days of written notice (or immediately if not curable).
Upon any Event of Default, GigWheels may, in addition to all other remedies available at law:
- Terminate this Agreement immediately without further notice;
- Repossess the Vehicle — Renter consents to peaceful self-help repossession, including entry onto Renter's property (or any property where the Vehicle is located) at any time of day or night, without breach of the peace, in accordance with Georgia law;
- Remotely disable the Vehicle using installed telematics (starter interrupt), where equipped;
- Charge the payment method on file for all outstanding amounts;
- Report the default to credit bureaus and, if applicable, gig-platform partners;
- Report the Vehicle stolen if not surrendered on demand;
- Pursue all costs of collection, including attorney's fees under §21.
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)
Renter acknowledges and agrees that GigWheels is engaged in the trade or business of renting or leasing motor vehicles, and that this Agreement is a bona fide short-term motor vehicle rental. Accordingly, the federal Graves Amendment, 49 U.S.C. § 30106, preempts any state statute or common-law doctrine (including but not limited to Georgia's imputed-negligence doctrine under O.C.G.A. § 51-2-2 and, where applicable, California Vehicle Code § 17150) that would impose vicarious liability on GigWheels or any Indemnified Party for the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Renter, any Authorized Additional Driver, or any passenger, permittee, or invitee of Renter, in the ownership, maintenance, use, or operation of the Vehicle. Neither GigWheels nor any Indemnified Party has any vicarious liability, no-fault liability, or ownership-based liability of any kind for such acts or omissions, and Renter (together with any Guarantor under §20) shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claim brought against any Indemnified Party solely on the basis of ownership of the Vehicle.
Renter further acknowledges that (a) GigWheels has taken commercially reasonable steps to screen drivers under §6 and to maintain the Vehicle in safe operating condition under §9 and §10, and (b) any accident, injury, or damage caused by Renter or an Authorized Additional Driver is not the result of any negligence, criminal wrongdoing, or breach of duty by GigWheels for purposes of 49 U.S.C. § 30106(a)(2). If a plaintiff asserts a "negligent entrustment," "negligent maintenance," or similar theory intended to defeat Graves-Amendment preemption, Renter shall cooperate with GigWheels's defense, produce documents and testimony as reasonably requested, and remains fully bound by the indemnity in §16 and the reimbursement covenant in §7.4 / §16.1 for all defense costs and any resulting judgment or settlement.
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:
- Notice of default;
- Any right to require GigWheels to proceed first against the entity or any collateral;
- Any defense based on the entity's bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, or reorganization;
- Any defense based on modification of this Agreement or extension of time.
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
Any and all disputes between Renter and GigWheels arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Vehicle, the rental relationship, or any prior or subsequent dealings — including without limitation claims of breach of contract, negligence, statutory violation, consumer protection, fraud, or defamation — shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Location: Arbitration shall be held in Fulton County, Georgia, or by video conference at the arbitrator's discretion.
Location: Arbitration shall be held in the City and County of San Francisco, California, or by video conference at the arbitrator's discretion.
Arbitrator: A single arbitrator selected under AAA rules.
Costs: Each party bears its own attorney's fees except as provided in §21. Filing and administrative fees shall be paid per AAA rules; if AAA rules require GigWheels to bear a share, GigWheels will do so.
Small-claims carve-out: Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in the Small Claims Division of Fulton County, Georgia, for any dispute within that court's jurisdictional limits.
Small-claims carve-out: Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in the Small Claims Division of the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco, for any dispute within that court's jurisdictional limits.
Injunctive relief carve-out: Notwithstanding the above, GigWheels may seek immediate injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Vehicle, prevent damage, or protect its property or intellectual property rights, without waiving its right to arbitrate other claims.
Opt-out: Renter may opt out of this arbitration provision by delivering written notice to GigWheels within 30 days of signing this Agreement, addressed to rent@gogigwheels.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opt-out does not affect any other provision of this Agreement.
24. Governing Law & Venue
This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision in §23, the exclusive venue for any judicial proceeding (including proceedings to compel or confirm arbitration or for injunctive relief) shall be the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and Renter consents to personal jurisdiction there.

Each such provision was presented in a manner reasonably calculated to draw Renter's attention (bold typeface, boxed emphasis, or separate initial line).
If any provision of this Agreement is found to waive a non-waivable right, that provision is severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder remains in full force.
28. Severability, Entire Agreement, Notices & Amendment

No oral modification: No modification of this Agreement is binding unless in a signed writing (electronic signature acceptable) executed by an authorized representative of GigWheels. No employee, agent, or contractor of GigWheels has authority to modify this Agreement orally.
Notices: All notices to Renter may be sent by email, SMS, or first-class mail to the address on file. All notices to GigWheels shall be sent to rent@gogigwheels.com and are effective upon receipt.
Waiver: GigWheels's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.
Assignment: Renter may not assign this Agreement. GigWheels may assign this Agreement or any right hereunder to any successor, affiliate, or purchaser of its business.
Survival: The following sections survive termination: §3 (payment authorization), §5.1 (material representations), §7.4 (insurance reimbursement covenant), §8 (financial responsibility), §11 (tolls/tickets), §13 (GPS data), §16 (indemnification), §16.1 (reimbursement covenant cross-reference), §16.2 (Graves Amendment / federal preemption of vicarious liability), §17 (limitation of liability), §18 (disclaimer), §19 (assumption of risk), §20 (guaranty), §21 (attorney's fees), §22 (jury waiver), §23 (arbitration), §24 (governing law), §25 (class waiver), and any provision that by its nature should survive.
29. Renter Acknowledgments (Initial Each Line)

- I have read and understand this Agreement, including all sections regarding insurance, damage liability, and prohibited uses.
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
