Rental Terms & Agreement
Trailer Terms & Conditions:
Renters must be 20 years of age or older, have a valid driver’s license, and have full coverage auto insurance in his/her name. The renter is responsible for ensuring that the renter’s insurance policy has adequate coverage for the rented Trailer. The credit card used must be in the renter's name and must match the driver's license. Please read the following policies and conditions carefully. It forms any rental agreement you make with us. This Agreement is made between Gage Hoogveldt (“we”, “us”, “our”) and the Renter(s) (“you”, “your”) for the Trailer. Keep a copy of the signed Agreement and this Rental Policy with you in the Trailer. You are renting our private Trailer. Please treat it with the same respect as you would to your own property.
Rental and Indemnity:
This is a contract for the rental of the Trailer. We may repossess the Trailer, at your expense and without notice to you, if the Trailer is abandoned or used in violation of law or this Agreement (see “Prohibited Uses” below). You agree to indemnify us, defend us, and hold us harmless from all claims, liability, costs, and attorney fees we incur resulting from, or arising out of, this rental and your use of the Trailer or our repossession of it.
Rental Payment:
The Trailer is rented from the time of scheduled pickup to the time of scheduled return unless other arrangements have been made. The minimum rental is one hour and will be charged in hour increments. The security deposit must be held from an active valid credit card through booking on the website.
Trailer Inspection:
The inspection includes a complete walk-through and instructions for the trailer. We ensure that you start your rental period with a fully functional Trailer. The drop-off inspection will consist of ensuring the trailer has been cleaned, axles are not damaged, tires are not damaged, and the trailer is fully operational (dumps or tilts if the trailer is equipped with the option). The items included with the rental will be inspected for missing or damage.
Tires:
Tires are the responsibility of the renter(s). In the event of a tire malfunction, the renter is responsible for having the tire replaced with the same type of tire and bringing us a receipt for the new tire. The renter(s) must use a qualified service company to change the tire. We will reimburse you for replacing a defective tire. We will not reimburse you for a tire damaged by your improper driving technique (for example: a right rear tire blowout caused by you scraping a curb or driving over nails or something that can puncture the tire).
Trailer Rental Pickup & Return:
Renter(s) must personally pick up and drop off the Trailer unless other arrangements are made beforehand in writing and the delivery fee is agreed upon. The Trailer must be returned clean inside and outside from any dirt or debris. If the trailer requires a cleaning by the owner a cleaning fee of $50 will be deducted from the security deposit. Any late returns will be charged $75.00 toward the security deposit per day unless other arrangements have been made by the owner and renter.
On Road Concerns:
If you have a concern or issues please call us right away at 801-230-6825. The renter must call us at the number(s) above for help with all concerns and mechanical concerns. No reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses will be paid to the renter unless prior authorization has been given by us and receipts of repairs are given to us on return. If the renter is at fault for any damage or mechanical failure, the renter will be responsible for all repairs and any loss of future rental income by us.

We may use your deposit to pay any amounts owed to us under this agreement. In the event of a cancellation after 9 pm the day before the appointment, the cost of the already reserved amount will be retained by us.
Miscellaneous:
No waiver by us of any breach of this Agreement constitutes a waiver of any additional breach or waiver of the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. Our acceptance of payment from you or our failure, refusal, or neglect to exercise any of our rights under this Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. Unless prohibited by law, you release us from any liability for consequential, special, or punitive damages in connection with this rental. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions are valid and enforceable.
Acts of God:
The renter shall not hold the lessor responsible for any damages that are outside of our control (i.e. tree falling on trailer caused by high winds, damage caused by winds, hail, flying objects, etc.). The renter assumes all responsibility while in the possession of the Trailer.
