US Border Crossing:
Travelling into the United States is allowed at no extra charge.

Roadside Assistance:
Customers renting OWASCO vehicles from our regular fleet, have 24-hour Ford, Chevrolet and Mercedes roadside assistance in Canada and the USA. Our Casual Camping fleet is excluded from roadside assistance, due to mileage. This service does not cover the expenses for non-mechanical difficulties such as running out of gas, cooling fluids or oil, tire and radio problems, air conditioning, losing keys, non functioning appliances.

We also give our customers a toll free emergency phone number where we can be reached daily from 8am to 5pm. We therefore do not cover any cost incurred by use of cell phones.

Availability:
If for any reason the reserved vehicle is not available, Owasco reserves the right to substitute a vehicle of equivalent value, to refund all payments without further liabilities, or offer a higher rated vehicle at no extra cost to the renter. Any subsequent expenses (additional ferry costs, gasoline, etc.) are the renters responsibility.

Should a lower rated vehicle be offer, Owasco’s only obligation is to refund the cost difference between the two vehicles. In the event that the renter refuses to accept the vehicle offered, the renter acknowledges that all payments will be forfeited and he/she will have no further loss or damage against Owasco.

No refunds for early returns, Owasco will not refund any reservation cancelled, missed or otherwise as a result of act of God, or war or an act of terrorism.


Renters Responsibility:
Every renter must have a valid credit card to be able to rent an RV from OWASCO. The renter is responsible for the vehicle and will be charged for any misuse or undue care, mechanical damage due to negligence in vehicle operation or failure to provide normal maintenance.

This includes checking engine oil, fluids and coolant levels at each refueling, as well as reporting mechanical failures immediately. Necessary repairs over CAD $75 require prior authorization from our office. Insurance coverage is void by not reporting any damage to OWASCO and Insurance Company within 24 hours.

Fuel Information:
Fuel costs are the renter’s responsibility. No claim is made as to fuel consumption. The fuel tank is full before departure and we expect it to be full up on return. A CAD $20 service charge, in addition to the fuel cost, will be applied if the RV is returned without a full tank of gas.

Storage:
Storage of luggage, cars and airline tickets is possible at the pick-up station. The customer assumes all risk for damage or loss of items stored.

Vehicle pick up and return hours:
The vehicles are generally handed over between 10:00am and 3:00pm and must be returned between 8:00am and 10:00am. No pick ups or drop offs after 3:00pm. Late returns will be charged an extra CAD $50 per hour and our transfer to the hotel will be void.
