Welcome to HeyRenter.
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of HeyRenter.com (the “Website”) and the services offered through HeyRenter (“HeyRenter,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By accessing the Website, submitting an inquiry, making a reservation, booking a vehicle, or otherwise using our services, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the Website or our services.
HeyRenter operates an online vehicle rental marketplace that allows customers to discover, compare, inquire about, and book vehicles offered by independent car rental companies and vehicle providers (“Rental Providers”).
HeyRenter may facilitate communication, reservations, payments, customer support, and other services between customers and Rental Providers.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, vehicles displayed on the Website may be owned, controlled, maintained, insured, and supplied by independent Rental Providers.
The actual vehicle rental may therefore also be subject to a separate rental agreement and additional terms provided by the applicable Rental Provider.
To use HeyRenter and rent a vehicle, you must satisfy all eligibility requirements imposed by applicable law and the relevant Rental Provider.
These requirements may include:
Requirements may vary depending on the vehicle, Rental Provider, driver’s country of residence, driver’s license, and other circumstances.
A booking does not waive any legal or Rental Provider eligibility requirement.
HeyRenter aims to provide accurate information regarding vehicles, prices, specifications, availability, features, and rental conditions.
However, information may be provided or updated by Rental Providers and may change without notice.
Vehicle photographs may be illustrative. Minor differences in color, specifications, model year, trim, accessories, or other characteristics may occur.
Where a specific vehicle becomes unavailable, the Rental Provider may offer an alternative vehicle of a similar or higher category, subject to availability and the customer’s agreement where required.
Submitting a booking request does not necessarily guarantee a reservation.
A reservation is considered confirmed only after the customer receives confirmation through HeyRenter, the applicable Rental Provider, or another authorized booking channel.
Bookings may be subject to:
HeyRenter or the Rental Provider may request additional information before confirming or completing a booking.
Rental prices are generally displayed in United Arab Emirates Dirhams (AED) unless otherwise stated.
Prices may vary depending on factors including:
The final price and applicable charges should be displayed or communicated before the booking is completed.
Obvious pricing, typographical, technical, or system errors do not create a binding obligation to provide a vehicle at an incorrect price.
Payments may be collected by HeyRenter, the Rental Provider, or an authorized third-party payment processor.
By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the selected payment method.
You authorize the applicable payment recipient to charge amounts associated with your booking, including amounts disclosed and agreed to during the booking process.
Payment processing may be subject to additional terms and privacy policies imposed by banks or payment service providers.
Certain vehicles may require a refundable security deposit.
The amount and payment method may vary depending on the vehicle and Rental Provider.
A security deposit may be retained or deductions may be made where permitted by the applicable rental agreement or law for amounts including:
The timing of deposit refunds may depend on the Rental Provider, payment provider, bank, and whether outstanding fines, tolls, damages, or other charges remain.
Customers must provide accurate pickup, delivery, and contact information.
At the time of vehicle handover, the customer may be required to present original identification documents, including a valid driver’s license, passport, Emirates ID, or International Driving Permit where applicable.
The Rental Provider may refuse to release the vehicle if the customer cannot provide the required documents or does not satisfy rental eligibility requirements.
Such refusal may be subject to the applicable cancellation and refund policy.
Customers are responsible for using rented vehicles safely, lawfully, and in accordance with the applicable rental agreement.
Customers must not:
Additional restrictions may be imposed by the Rental Provider.
The customer is responsible for traffic violations, parking fines, tolls, Salik charges, and similar government or road-use charges incurred during the rental period where permitted by applicable law.
Rental Providers may charge reasonable administrative fees associated with identifying drivers, processing fines, collecting outstanding amounts, or responding to government requests.
Certain fines or charges may be received after the vehicle has been returned.
Where permitted by the rental agreement and applicable law, these amounts may subsequently be charged to the customer or deducted from the security deposit.
Fuel and mileage policies vary between vehicles and Rental Providers.
Customers must comply with the fuel return requirements disclosed for their booking.
Additional charges may apply where a vehicle is returned with less fuel than required.
Vehicles may also have daily, weekly, monthly, or total mileage limits.
Exceeding the applicable mileage allowance may result in additional charges at the rate disclosed by the Rental Provider.
Customers should inspect the vehicle when receiving it and report any existing damage that is not already documented.
Customers may be responsible for loss or damage occurring during the rental period according to the applicable rental agreement, insurance coverage, and UAE law.
In the event of an accident, damage, theft, or other incident, the customer must promptly contact the Rental Provider and, where required, the appropriate police or government authorities.
Customers should not arrange unauthorized repairs without approval from the Rental Provider.
Vehicles offered through HeyRenter are subject to the insurance arrangements of the applicable Rental Provider.
Insurance coverage, deductibles, excess amounts, exclusions, and optional coverage may vary between vehicles and providers.
Customers are responsible for reviewing the applicable insurance conditions before completing the rental.
Certain conduct may invalidate or limit insurance coverage, including unauthorized driving, driving under the influence, reckless driving, use outside authorized territories, or violations of the rental agreement.
Cancellation, modification, and refund conditions may vary depending on the vehicle, Rental Provider, booking type, and timing of the request.
Any applicable cancellation terms should be communicated during the booking process or booking confirmation.
Customers should review these conditions before confirming a reservation.
Refund processing times may vary depending on the Rental Provider, payment processor, bank, and payment method.
HeyRenter may assist with cancellation or refund requests but cannot guarantee outcomes that are controlled by an independent Rental Provider or financial institution.
Customers must return vehicles at the agreed date, time, and location.
Late returns may result in additional rental charges and other fees.
Customers wishing to extend a rental should contact HeyRenter or the Rental Provider before the scheduled return time.
Extensions are subject to availability and approval and may result in additional charges.
Keeping a vehicle beyond the authorized rental period without approval may constitute a breach of the rental agreement and may result in additional legal or financial consequences.
Customers may be charged for excessive cleaning, smoking, odors, stains, damage, or other conditions requiring cleaning or restoration beyond normal use.
Pets may be subject to restrictions or additional cleaning requirements depending on the Rental Provider.
If a vehicle is involved in an accident, breaks down, is damaged, or is stolen, the customer should immediately contact the Rental Provider and follow its instructions.
Where required under UAE law, customers must contact the police and obtain the appropriate accident or police report.
Failure to properly report an incident may affect insurance coverage and may result in additional liability.
Rental Providers available through HeyRenter may be independent businesses.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, HeyRenter does not own or operate the Rental Provider’s fleet and does not control every aspect of the Rental Provider’s operations.
Rental Providers are responsible for matters within their control, including:
HeyRenter may facilitate transactions and provide customer support but is not responsible for acts or omissions of independent Rental Providers beyond the extent required by applicable law.
HeyRenter provides technology and services designed to facilitate vehicle rentals.
Depending on the specific booking, HeyRenter may act as an intermediary between the customer and Rental Provider rather than as the actual vehicle lessor.
