- Due to insurance regulations, you are required to provide proof of full coverage insurance.
- You must be at least 25 years of age, and you must be the owner and named insured of the vehicle for service (your insurance will be primary in the event of a motor vehicle accident).
- The driver of the loaner vehicle will need to present a valid driver's license and a major credit card (you are authorizing the use of the listed credit card for the payment of any traffic, parking, or tolls violations while the loaner car is in your possession).
Terms

- You are financially responsible for any traffic, parking, or tolls violations while the loaner car is in your possession.
- To maintain an ample inventory of loaner vehicles for all clients, this vehicle must be returned at your vehicle service completion or no later than close of business the following business day to avoid a $150.00 per day rental charge.
- The loaner vehicle must be returned with the same level of fuel as when received. Valet Auto Tech reserves the right to charge you $5.00 per gallon to bring the vehicle back to the same fuel level.
