A representative will conduct vehicle inspection along with the customer before the vehicle is rented out. All damages must be marked down on the inspection report. It is your (the renter’s) responsibility to make sure that the vehicle is thoroughly inspected and all existing damages have been noted before signing the inspection sheet.

Vehicle Condition and Return:

The company delivered the vehicle to you in a good operating condition, and you agree to return it in the same condition in which you received it at the same time and date specified on the agreement, or sooner on DEMAND by the company. You will pay to Mirark Car Rental on demand for all loss or damage to the VEHICLE regardless of the manner in which this damage was incurred. Any total loss shall be calculated as the replacement cost of the rental vehicle plus any and all expenses. You will pay to Mirark Car Rental all towing charges, claims administration charges and damages for loss of use for the vehicle WHILE being repaired and/or out of service. Loss of use shall be deemed to be the number of days the rented Vehicle is out of service multiplied by the daily rental charge set out on the front of this agreement.
