Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern access to and use of Street Rental's websites, software, reservation technology, operator tools, payment-related workflows, connected-vehicle functionality, and related services (collectively, the "Platform").
By creating an account, using the Platform, submitting information through the Platform, or otherwise accessing Street Rental services, you agree to these Terms.
If you use Street Rental on behalf of a rental business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.
If a separate Order Form, subscription agreement, implementation agreement, Founding Operator agreement, or other written agreement applies, that agreement controls to the extent it conflicts with these Terms.
Sections relating to Operator accounts, subscriptions, platform fees, and Operator obligations apply only to Operators and Operator Users. Renters remain subject to the applicable rental terms, policies, and rental agreement established by the independent rental Operator.

2. Street Rental's Role
Street Rental provides software and technology services to independent rental operators.
Street Rental is not, solely by providing the Platform:
- owner of Operator vehicles
- vehicle lessor
- renter's rental-car company
- insurer or insurance broker
- vehicle manufacturer
- transportation provider
- guarantor of vehicle condition
- party responsible for renter eligibility
The underlying rental transaction is between the Operator and Renter.
Operators remain responsible for vehicles, rental agreements, pricing, policies, insurance requirements, refunds, disputes, operational decisions, and legal compliance.
Street Rental may facilitate parts of the transaction technologically without becoming a party to the vehicle rental agreement.
3. Operator Accounts
Operators must provide accurate and current account/business information.
Operator Users must be authorized.
Operators are responsible for:
- safeguarding credentials
- controlling staff access
- roles and permissions
- disabling unauthorized access
- activity performed through authorized accounts
Street Rental may suspend access where reasonably necessary to protect the Platform, users, payment systems, connected services, or security.
4. Operator Responsibilities
Each Operator independently controls its rental business.
Responsibilities include:
- vehicle ownership/control
- registration
- maintenance and roadworthiness
- required licenses and permits
- insurance
- rental pricing
- taxes
- renter eligibility
- age requirements
- driver's-license requirements
- security deposits
- rental agreements
- cancellation/refund policies
- fuel/mileage rules
- pickup and return
- vehicle availability
- customer support
- accident/claim handling
- compliance with applicable laws
Street Rental provides tools but does not independently establish Operator policies.
5. Renters and Reservations
Reservations are for vehicles offered by independent Operators.
Reservation acceptance, availability, substitutions, eligibility, pricing, deposits, taxes, fees, insurance requirements, pickup, return, cancellation, and refunds are subject to the applicable Operator's policies.
Operators may require renters to provide:
- identity information
- driver's-license information
- contact information
- payment information through supported providers
- acceptance of rental terms
- other configured rental requirements
Street Rental does not guarantee renter eligibility or continued availability of a particular vehicle.
6. Traditional Rental and Scan & Go
Street Rental may support:
Traditional Rental
Operator-assisted workflows.
Scan & Go / Express
Digital or self-service workflows where enabled and supported.
Hybrid
Use of both operating models within an Operator's configured operation.
The Operator determines which operating model applies.
Availability of digital access, identity verification, connected-vehicle functions, or self-service features may depend on Operator configuration, vehicle compatibility, third-party availability, renter eligibility, and enabled features.
7. Payments
Payments may be processed through third-party providers such as Stripe.
Street Rental does not store raw payment-card numbers or card security codes when information is entered directly through a payment provider's secure systems.
Operators may use connected payment accounts to receive rental proceeds.
Payment-provider fees are separate from Street Rental platform fees unless expressly stated otherwise.
Street Rental may receive transaction IDs, payment statuses, amounts, references, dispute information, and related data necessary to operate payment workflows.
8. Street Rental Platform Fees
Operators agree to pay fees associated with their selected plan, Order Form, promotion, or agreement.
Fees may include:
- monthly subscription fees
- variable reservation/platform fees
- separately agreed implementation charges
- optional services
- other expressly agreed amounts
Third-party payment-processing fees are separate unless expressly stated otherwise.
9. Eligible Reservation Revenue
For plans with percentage-based Street Rental fees:
Eligible Reservation Revenue means amounts successfully collected through Street Rental in connection with an eligible reservation, excluding:
- refundable security-deposit authorizations or holds
- refunded amounts
- chargebacks
- payment reversals
- taxes collected for governmental authorities
- payment-processor fees
- amounts processed entirely outside Street Rental unless otherwise agreed
The applicable percentage and monthly cap depend on the Operator's plan or written agreement.
Security-deposit holds are not reservation revenue merely because they are authorized.
10. Founding Operator Program
The Street Rental Founding Operator Program is available to the first 20 approved Operators, subject to approval and applicable program terms.
Approved Founding Operators receive:
$0 monthly Street Rental platform subscription fee for the first 12 months following activation.
During that period:
- Street Rental variable platform fee: 4% of Eligible Reservation Revenue
- variable Street Rental platform-fee cap: $250 per month
The $250 cap applies only to the variable Street Rental platform fee.
It does NOT include unless expressly stated otherwise:
- payment-processor fees
- taxes
- separately scoped implementation work
- third-party provider charges
- optional separately purchased services
After the initial 12-month period, the Operator may continue under an available Street Rental plan or another written agreement.
Participation is not transferable without Street Rental's written approval.
11. Security Deposits
Street Rental may provide technology supporting:
- deposit authorization
- holds
- release
- partial capture
- full capture
- settlement review
The Operator determines its security-deposit policies and remains responsible for lawful and appropriate use of deposit funds.
A vehicle return does not necessarily cause automatic settlement.
Certain settlement actions may require Operator review or appropriate permissions.
Payment authorization and capture remain subject to payment-provider systems, rules, and availability.
12. Identity and Driver Information
Operators may configure driver-information or identity-related requirements.
Depending on the workflow, information may be:
- stored by Street Rental
- submitted to an identity provider
- maintained by a third-party provider while Street Rental receives status/reference information
Where identity services such as Stripe Identity are enabled, separate provider terms and privacy practices may apply.
Operators are responsible for determining what driver documentation is legally required for their rentals.

Functionality depends on:
- vehicle compatibility
- manufacturer systems
- third-party services

Street Rental does not guarantee uninterrupted connected-vehicle access.
Operators should maintain reasonable alternative access and operational procedures.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Street Rental's aggregate liability arising from or relating to the Platform will not exceed the amounts paid by the applicable Operator to Street Rental during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so these limitations apply only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
