Rental Extension

Quick answer

The Agreement requires the renter to contact STARS before the due date; an extension is not automatic and updated terms must be confirmed.

Rental Agreement

60-second explanation

Why it matters

Keeping the vehicle beyond the confirmed return without approval can affect Charges, possession authorization, insurance, maintenance, and the next reservation.

In plain English

An extension is a requested change to the agreed rental period. The renter must contact STARS before the due date and receive the updated terms.

Contacting STARS does not by itself guarantee approval. Pricing, payment, insurance, vehicle scheduling, and the revised return details may need confirmation.

What to confirm before you arrive

Practical checklist

  • Save the original due date and time.
  • Ask how to request an extension before that time.
  • Get the new dates, Charges, payment, and return instructions confirmed.

Example

A renter whose trip changes calls before the due time and waits for confirmation rather than simply keeping the vehicle another day.

Common mistake

Treating a request, message, or late return as an automatically approved extension.
