Product and Service Information, Availability and Use
The inclusion of any products or services on the Site at a particular time does not imply or warrant that these products or services will be available at any time. In addition, it is possible that certain items on the Site may be mispriced or unavailable, and Ryder may experience lags in uploading updates throughout the Site and in Ryder’s advertising on other websites.
The color you see on the Site may not match the product color, as the display of the color depends, in part, upon the monitor you are using, as well as inventory availability. Certain weights, measures and similar descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only.
Ryder cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness and reliability of information on the Site, including prices, product images, specifications, availability and services. The publication of any price does not guarantee that such price is available for the product or service at the time you seek to purchase it. Unless otherwise, stated prices do not include taxes, fees, transportation charges, licensing, surcharges, fuel charges or other ancillary, related or additional changes that may be related to the transaction. Ryder reserves the right to change or update information and to correct errors, inaccuracies or omissions at any time without prior notice. All descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, products, services, and prices on the Site are subject to change at any time without notice.
It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any item purchased from this Site. By placing an order, you represent that the products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner.
Ryder’s Sites may be subject to additional terms and conditions or policies specific to a certain Site.
Errors on the Site
Prices and availability of products and services are subject to change without notice. Ryder reserves the right to revoke any stated offer and to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions including after an order has been submitted and whether or not the order has been confirmed and your credit card charged. If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Ryder will issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the charge. Individual bank policies will dictate when this amount is credited to your account. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return it in accordance with Ryder’s Return Policy.
Vehicle Rentals
Vehicles shown on the Site are for general illustration only. Vehicle availability may be limited. All vehicles and equipment selected in a reservation is subject to Ryder’s standard rental requirements and availability at time of pickup. Ryder reserves the right to substitute vehicles and equipment at the time of pickup.
A vehicle reservation only guarantees the rate once confirmed with a deposit, and shows a customer’s preferences for a pick-up location, drop-off location, time of rental, date of rental and equipment type. The pick-up location, drop-off location, time of rental and date of rental selected in a reservation is a preference only and, if a preference selected is not available, Ryder reserves the right to offer a customer alternatives.
Rates reserved online do not include applicable taxes, fees, surcharges, additional accessories, protection plans purchased at the time of rental, any required refundable deposit, or other applicable charges. Charges will be provided at the time of pick-up. Rates reserved and listed are only valid at the location specified, for 30 days from the date the reservation is made.
If you choose to pay for a rental with a credit card or debit card, you must present your credit card or debit card at the time of rental. You must also present two forms of current, valid identification from the individual signing the rental contract. Acceptable forms of identification include: a valid U.S. issued Driver’s License, State Issued Identification, Passport, Social Security Card, Vehicle Registrations, Phone Bill, Military ID, major credit card and paycheck or pay stub. One ID must be a valid U.S.-issued Driver’s License from all drivers of rental equipment.
Proof of insurance is required at the time of pick-up. If you are unable to provide proof of insurance and/or your insurance does not offer sufficient coverage for a vehicle, you will be required to select and purchase a Ryder protection coverage option prior to renting the vehicle.
Pricing Policy
Online prices and selection generally match those in Ryder’s stores, but may vary.
Termination of Use
Ryder may, in its sole discretion, terminate any account you may have on the Site at any time. You are personally liable for any orders that you place or charges that you incur prior to termination.
Vehicles, Products and Services
The Site in no way constitutes an offer for the sale of goods or to provide a service. Specifically, the Site does not constitute an offer to buy, sell, lease, rent, or maintain vehicles from Ryder or to provide any vehicle warranties, equipment, products or services of any kind.
Photographs of vehicles listed for sale are photographs of the actual vehicles unless otherwise provided (or disclosed); however, their color and general appearance may appear differently based on your monitor and color settings. For this reason, please contact the Ryder location where a vehicle is located to confirm the accuracy of the contents of the Site before you visit that location. In addition, prices, special offers, guarantees and warranties, if any, are subject to change without notice. Mileage listings are estimates and are not necessarily accurate odometer readings. Some vehicle information and vehicle pricing may be missing or inaccurate, and may be considered invalid and not honored, in Ryder’s sole discretion. Daily changes in inventory may result in the unavailability of certain vehicles listed for sale on the Site.
Any currency conversion herein is an estimate. When an exact currency conversion is required for the sale of a vehicle, such will be calculated based on the official currency conversion on the day a vehicle is sold.
