1. Parties, Definitions & Vehicle Identification

This Motor Vehicle Rental Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into between GigWheels Private Rental Car Agency, together with its owners, officers, directors, members, employees, agents, contractors, affiliates, and assigns (collectively, "GigWheels," "we," "us," "our," or "Owner"), and the individual identified in the signature block below ("Renter," "you," or "your").

Vehicle: The specific motor vehicle rented under this Agreement (the "Vehicle") is identified by year, make, model, VIN, license plate, color, and odometer reading on the Rental Face Sheet attached and incorporated into this Agreement at pickup.

Rental Face Sheet: The document signed at pickup identifying the Vehicle, rental start date, weekly rate, deposit paid, add-ons selected, fuel level, odometer reading, and pre-existing damage. The Face Sheet is incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.

2. Rental Term, Rates & Renewal

The rental term begins on the date and time the Vehicle is delivered to Renter's possession and continues on a weekly auto-renewing basis until either party terminates in accordance with this Agreement.

Weekly rates are set on the Rental Face Sheet and are billed in advance. Rates include the base weekly fee plus any selected add-ons (mileage plan, insurance surcharge, zero-deposit option, etc.). Applicable Georgia state and local taxes and rental-vehicle fees are additional.

Auto-renewal: Unless Renter provides written notice of non-renewal at least 48 hours before the current weekly period ends, the rental automatically renews for another 7-day period and the weekly charge is billed to the payment method on file. Renter authorizes such recurring charges.

Rate changes: GigWheels may adjust the weekly rate on 14 days' advance written notice (email or SMS to the address/number on file is sufficient). If Renter does not agree, Renter may terminate at the end of the current paid week without penalty.

3. Security Deposit & Payment Authorization

Renter shall pay a refundable security deposit of $1,000 (or such other amount stated on the Face Sheet) at or before pickup. If Renter selects the "Zero Deposit" add-on (at $50/week), the security deposit is waived in exchange for the non-refundable weekly surcharge.

Payment authorization: Renter authorizes GigWheels to charge Renter's credit card, debit card, or bank account on file for:

Deposit refund: Deposits are refunded per the Refund & Cancellation Policy — typically within 7–14 business days of Vehicle return, less any lawful deductions.

4. Permitted Use

The Vehicle may be operated ONLY for the following purposes and under the following conditions:

5. Prohibited Uses (Void Insurance & Trigger Full Liability)

Any of the following uses is a material breach of this Agreement, immediately terminates any insurance coverage extended to Renter, and makes Renter personally and fully liable for all resulting damage, loss, injury, claims, and attorney's fees. GigWheels may also immediately repossess the Vehicle under §15.

Renter shall NOT, and shall not permit any other person to:

⚠️ Insurance Consequences. Any prohibited use listed above voids all insurance coverage — both GigWheels's policy AND typically the Renter's personal or rideshare policy. In such case, Renter is 100% personally responsible for all damage, loss, third-party injury or property claims, attorney's fees, and administrative costs, with no cap.

6. Driver Eligibility & Authorized Drivers

Renter and any Authorized Additional Driver must at all times during the rental:

Additional drivers: No person other than the Renter may operate the Vehicle unless that person is (a) listed on the Face Sheet as an Authorized Additional Driver, (b) has passed GigWheels's driver-screening process, and (c) has signed this Agreement or a joinder to it. Unauthorized-driver operation is a prohibited use under §5.

7. Insurance Requirements & Coverage

GigWheels rents vehicles under a dual-layer insurance model that requires BOTH renter-provided coverage AND a GigWheels weekly insurance surcharge:

7.1 Renter-Provided Insurance (Required)

Renter shall obtain and maintain, at Renter's sole expense, commercial rideshare/delivery auto insurance that:

Renter shall provide proof of coverage (declarations page) at pickup and upon any renewal or change. Renter shall notify GigWheels within 24 hours of any lapse, cancellation, or modification.

7.2 GigWheels Weekly Insurance Surcharge (Included/Required)

In addition to renter-provided coverage, Renter pays a weekly insurance surcharge (included in the rate or added on the Face Sheet). This surcharge secures GigWheels's supplemental commercial fleet coverage. This coverage is secondary and excess to Renter's own insurance and to any gig-platform-provided insurance (Uber's/Lyft's period 2–3 coverage), and applies only where allowed by the underlying policy.

7.3 Coverage Limitations

Nothing in this Agreement obligates GigWheels to provide primary, first-dollar, or any specific level of insurance to Renter. Renter acknowledges that:

⚠️ Belt-and-Suspenders. Both layers are required. If Renter's rideshare coverage lapses or is inadequate, and the GigWheels layer applies, Renter still owes the deductible + any uncovered amount. If both layers fail (e.g., prohibited use, unauthorized driver, gross negligence), Renter is personally liable for the entire loss, third-party claim, and defense costs.

8. Renter's Financial Responsibility for Damage, Loss & Theft

Renter is responsible for the Vehicle from pickup until returned to GigWheels's authorized location and inspected. Renter's financial responsibility is UNCAPPED and includes, without limitation:

These amounts are due within 15 days of GigWheels's written demand. Renter authorizes charging the payment method on file for any and all such amounts (see §3).

9. Mechanical Condition & Renter's Duty to Inspect

Renter acknowledges receiving the Vehicle in visibly good operating condition, subject only to the pre-existing damage noted on the Face Sheet. Renter has had full opportunity to inspect the Vehicle before taking possession and represents that it is fit for Renter's intended use.

Continuing duty: Renter shall inspect the Vehicle daily and shall not operate the Vehicle if any warning light is illuminated, fluid is leaking, tire pressure is abnormal, or any mechanical, electrical, or safety component is not functioning properly. Renter shall immediately notify GigWheels and cease operation.

Operating a Vehicle with a known or reasonably discoverable defect is gross negligence and voids all insurance coverage.

10. Maintenance, Fuel, Fluids & Tires

FeeAmount
Fuel shortfall$9.99/gallon + $25 refueling fee
Mileage overage — Economy/SUV$0.25 per mile over plan
Mileage overage — Van$0.35 per mile over plan

11. Tolls, Tickets, Citations & Impound Fees

Tolls: Renter is responsible for all tolls incurred during the rental. GigWheels will pay any toll bill received and charge Renter's payment method for the toll amount plus a $5 administrative fee per toll transaction.

Tickets & citations: Renter is responsible for all parking tickets, traffic citations, red-light-camera and speed-camera violations, and any other government-issued fine incurred during the rental. GigWheels will process each citation and charge Renter's payment method for the fine plus a $25 administrative fee. Renter authorizes GigWheels to identify Renter as the responsible driver to any issuing authority.

Impound: If the Vehicle is impounded for any reason attributable to Renter's conduct, Renter is responsible for all impound, storage, and recovery costs plus a $250 recovery fee.

Criminal charges: Any conduct that results in criminal charges (DUI, hit-and-run, reckless driving, drug trafficking, etc.) is a material breach; the rental terminates immediately, and Renter is fully liable for the Vehicle and any related third-party claims.

12. Accidents, Theft & Reporting Duties

Renter shall, in the event of any accident, collision, theft, vandalism, or damage:

  1. Ensure safety — check for injuries, move to a safe location if possible, call 911 for injuries or serious damage;
  2. Call law enforcement and obtain a police report for any accident involving injury, another vehicle, or property damage over $500;
  3. Notify GigWheels within 24 hours at (404) 360-3195 and follow up in writing (email to rent@gogigwheels.com);
  4. Do not admit fault or negotiate any settlement with any party;
  5. Obtain the other driver's name, license, insurance, plate, and contact information; photograph the scene, damage, and vehicles; obtain witness names and contact info;
  6. Cooperate fully with GigWheels, insurers, law enforcement, and legal counsel in any investigation, claim, or proceeding, including providing statements and testifying if required.

Failure to comply with any of the above voids insurance coverage and makes Renter personally liable for the full loss and any third-party claim.

13. GPS/Telematics Monitoring — Consent

Renter acknowledges and consents that the Vehicle contains one or more GPS tracking devices, telematics units, and/or dash cameras. GigWheels may use these devices to:

Tampering prohibited. Any attempt to disable, remove, obstruct, or interfere with a GPS device, telematics unit, or dash camera is a material breach; the rental terminates immediately; and Renter is liable for the cost of the device ($500 minimum) plus a $500 tampering fee, plus full liability for the Vehicle. Renter shall not remove any factory-installed OBD-II device.

See our Privacy Policy for how telematics data is stored, used, and retained.

14. Late Return, Extension & Abandonment

Return time: Renter shall return the Vehicle at the location and time specified on the Face Sheet, or the end of the current auto-renewing weekly period.

Grace period: A 2-hour grace period applies. After the grace period, a late fee of $25 per hour applies (up to the daily equivalent of the weekly rate per day).

24-hour rule: If the Vehicle is not returned within 24 hours of the scheduled return time and Renter has not communicated with GigWheels, the Vehicle is deemed unlawfully retained. GigWheels may (a) file a stolen-vehicle report with law enforcement, (b) suspend all insurance coverage, (c) initiate repossession under §15, and (d) hold Renter liable for the full replacement value of the Vehicle plus all associated costs.

Abandonment: Personal property left in the Vehicle after return is considered abandoned after 14 days and may be discarded without further notice. GigWheels is not responsible for loss or damage to any personal property left in the Vehicle.

15. Default & Immediate Repossession

Any of the following is an "Event of Default":

Upon any Event of Default, GigWheels may, in addition to all other remedies available at law:

⚠️ Consent to Self-Help Repossession. Renter expressly consents that GigWheels or its agent may enter upon any premises where the Vehicle is located and take possession without prior notice, provided no breach of the peace occurs. Renter waives any claim for trespass or conversion arising from lawful repossession.

16. Indemnification

17. Limitation of Liability

Note: This limitation does not apply to (a) claims arising from GigWheels's gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) statutory rights that cannot be waived under Georgia or federal law; (c) claims by third parties injured by Renter's operation of the Vehicle; or (d) any minimum insurance coverage required by O.C.G.A. § 33-34-3.

18. Disclaimer of Warranties

19. Assumption of Risk

Renter acknowledges that operating a motor vehicle — particularly for rideshare or delivery work with elevated mileage and extended hours — involves inherent risks including without limitation collision, injury, death, property damage, robbery, assault by passengers or third parties, weather hazards, and mechanical failure. Renter voluntarily assumes all such risks and releases GigWheels and the Indemnified Parties from any claim arising out of any risk inherent in the operation of the Vehicle, except for claims arising from GigWheels's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

20. Personal Guaranty

If Renter enters into this Agreement in the name of an LLC, corporation, partnership, or other legal entity, the individual signing this Agreement (the "Guarantor") personally, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees the full and prompt performance of all obligations of Renter under this Agreement, including without limitation the payment of all rent, damages, fees, indemnity obligations, and attorney's fees. This is a guaranty of payment and performance, not of collection, and is enforceable directly against the Guarantor without any requirement that GigWheels first proceed against the entity.

The Guarantor waives:

21. Attorney's Fees, Costs & Late Charges

If any amount owed under this Agreement is not paid when due and is placed with an attorney for collection, or if any legal action is required to enforce this Agreement, Renter shall pay GigWheels's reasonable attorney's fees in the amount of 15% of the outstanding principal and interest, plus all court costs, collection agency fees, and expenses, in accordance with O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11.

Interest: All past-due amounts accrue interest at the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum rate allowed by Georgia law, from the date due until paid in full.

Notice of intent to enforce attorney's fees provision: Renter is hereby notified pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 13-1-11 that GigWheels intends to enforce the attorney-fee provisions of this Agreement in the event of default.

22. Waiver of Jury Trial

23. Mandatory Binding Arbitration

Any and all disputes between Renter and GigWheels arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Vehicle, the rental relationship, or any prior or subsequent dealings — including without limitation claims of breach of contract, negligence, statutory violation, consumer protection, fraud, or defamation — shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Location: Arbitration shall be held in Fulton County, Georgia, or by video conference at the arbitrator's discretion.

Arbitrator: A single arbitrator selected under AAA rules.

Costs: Each party bears its own attorney's fees except as provided in §21. Filing and administrative fees shall be paid per AAA rules; if AAA rules require GigWheels to bear a share, GigWheels will do so.

Small-claims carve-out: Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual claim in the Small Claims Division of Fulton County, Georgia, for any dispute within that court's jurisdictional limits.

Injunctive relief carve-out: Notwithstanding the above, GigWheels may seek immediate injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to recover the Vehicle, prevent damage, or protect its property or intellectual property rights, without waiving its right to arbitrate other claims.

Opt-out: Renter may opt out of this arbitration provision by delivering written notice to GigWheels within 30 days of signing this Agreement, addressed to rent@gogigwheels.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out." Opt-out does not affect any other provision of this Agreement.

24. Governing Law & Venue

This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provision in §23, the exclusive venue for any judicial proceeding (including proceedings to compel or confirm arbitration or for injunctive relief) shall be the state and federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia, and Renter consents to personal jurisdiction there.

25. Class-Action & Collective-Action Waiver

26. Electronic Signature & UETA

Renter agrees that this Agreement may be executed electronically and that an electronic signature (including click-to-accept, typed name, mouse-drawn signature, or third-party e-signature platform such as DocuSign, HelloSign, or GoHighLevel e-sign) has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under the Georgia Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (O.C.G.A. § 10-12-1 et seq.) and the federal E-SIGN Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001 et seq.).

Renter consents to receive all notices, disclosures, and copies of this Agreement electronically at the email address and phone number provided. Renter may request paper copies at any time by contacting GigWheels.

27. Consumer Rights Preservation

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to waive, limit, or preclude any right of Renter that cannot be waived under applicable law, including without limitation:

If any provision of this Agreement is found to waive a non-waivable right, that provision is severed to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder remains in full force.

28. Severability, Entire Agreement, Notices & Amendment

Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to render it enforceable while preserving the parties' intent.

Entire agreement: This Agreement, together with the Rental Face Sheet, the driver application, the Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, and the Refund & Cancellation Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the rental of the Vehicle and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous discussions, understandings, or agreements.

No oral modification: No modification of this Agreement is binding unless in a signed writing (electronic signature acceptable) executed by an authorized representative of GigWheels. No employee, agent, or contractor of GigWheels has authority to modify this Agreement orally.

Notices: All notices to Renter may be sent by email, SMS, or first-class mail to the address on file. All notices to GigWheels shall be sent to rent@gogigwheels.com and are effective upon receipt.

Waiver: GigWheels's failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that or any other provision.

Assignment: Renter may not assign this Agreement. GigWheels may assign this Agreement or any right hereunder to any successor, affiliate, or purchaser of its business.

Survival: The following sections survive termination: §3 (payment authorization), §8 (financial responsibility), §11 (tolls/tickets), §13 (GPS data), §16 (indemnification), §17 (limitation of liability), §18 (disclaimer), §19 (assumption of risk), §20 (guaranty), §21 (attorney's fees), §22 (jury waiver), §23 (arbitration), §24 (governing law), §25 (class waiver), and any provision that by its nature should survive.
