Set up your rental agreement terms

Until you add your own terms, the rental agreement customers sign carries a platform default and none of your conditions. This shows the two ways to set your terms and how to clear the warning about a blank agreement.

  • Where do I put my rental terms?
  • Why does it say my rental agreement has no terms?
  • How do I add my own terms and conditions to the agreement customers sign?

The rental agreement is the contract a customer signs before they drive away. Its terms section is filled from one field you control. Until you set it, that field is a platform default, which means the signed agreement carries no use restrictions, liability terms, charge authority or privacy statement of yours. Glovebox shows a persistent red banner while that is the case, and this is how you clear it.

Before you start

Have your terms ready, either as a page on your own website or as text you can paste in. If you do not have terms written, this is worth getting right before you take real bookings — it is what protects you if something goes wrong on a hire.

Where to find it

In the left sidebar, open Settings, then Business details (under the Business heading).

Steps

  1. Find the rental agreement setting on the Business tab.
  2. Choose how you want to supply your terms:
    • Link to an existing terms page (URL) — point at the terms page on your own website. Enter the address in Terms page URL.
    • Paste terms as HTML — write or paste your terms directly, shown on your Glovebox rental-terms page. Use the editor that appears.
  3. Click Save.

What you should see when it worked

The red "Your rental agreement contains no terms" banner disappears. New agreements generated for bookings now carry your terms, and a customer signing sees them.

Things worth knowing

  • Pasting terms in stores a version of them, so the agreement a customer signed is the version that was current at the time, even if you edit your terms later.
  • The banner is deliberately persistent because a blank agreement is a real exposure on every booking, so it will keep showing until real terms are set.

If it did not work

  • The banner is still showing after saving. Make sure you actually entered a URL (if you chose the link option) or some text (if you chose paste), not just switched the option. A blank field still counts as no terms.
