Eco Armada 167 Pontoon Boat for rent in Belle River, Ontario - CANADA ONLY!

Frequently Asked Questions: Do I need a Boaters License? No. We will provide a Boaters Safety Checklist (Transport Canada Approved) which acts as a Temporary Boating License for the duration of your rental with us. We always recommend getting one as you only need to perform the test once and you have it for life. But don’t worry if you don’t have yours yet. Go ahead and make your reservation and on the day of your rental we will provide a Temporary Boaters License after your safety briefing and on-water orientation. Are reservations required? YES, you can make a reservation here. What qualifications do I need to rent? The Renter must be at least 21 years old, our company in its sole discretion, may refuse to rent the Watercraft to the Renter if our company determines that the Renter or additional operator is not competent to operate the Watercraft. Renter is in good physical condition sufficient for operating watercraft, knows how to swim, and knows of no reason why he or she should not participate. Only Renter s 21 years old or over may operate Watercraft. Children may not drive Watercraft. The Renter must provide a valid Drivers License and a proof of current motor vehicle insurance when renting the unit along with the trailer. Any other participants driving the motor craft must meet the same criteria and must be listed on the Rental Agreement. Are there any extra booking costs? Yes, of course tax is applicable. This charge is displayed as taxes and fees and billed at checkout. What am I responsible for when I rent? Renters are responsible for all physical damage to equipment. A Rental Agreement and release of liability, waiver of claims, assumption of risks and indemnity agreement must be signed by Renter and a pre-authorized credit card deposit (or cash or transfer) which ranges by item rented from $750 per rental unit, up to $3000.00 per rental unit; is required as a security damage deposit. Which payment methods do you accept and what is your reservation deposit? 50% of your rental total is required on date of booking. We accept Cash / Visa / Mastercard / Amex/ PayPal and Interac e-transfer. The Damage Deposit is due on the day of your rental. The name on the credit card must match the name on the rental agreement. If you choose to use Interac e-transfer for payment please do so 30 minutes prior to your rental time to avoid delays in receiving. How does the damage deposit work? Every unit will undergo an inspection prior to and after your rental. Renters are responsible for any and all damages sustained to rental equipment, persons, or property as well as loss or damage of accessories onboard during rental period. The cardholder must be present to sign for the damage deposit and the rental agreement. If the rental is returned free of damage, your deposit is usually refunded within 24 hours if there is no damage but can take up to a week. Can I see the Waiver that I have to sign to rent? We will provide once booking is confirmed and ensure that you are willing to agree to the terms. You agree to be bound by these terms when you sign the rental agreement at time of reservation. They are for the protection of us all, and to ensure that the next to rent the equipment are treated fairly (for example, to ensure you return the rental on time so that it is ready for the next rental customers.) Can I purchase additional insurance? The renter is responsible for ANY damage incurred during the rental period. If you wish to purchase additional coverage we suggest the following: Check with your credit card provider, as often they offer insurance as long as the rental is made on their credit card. Contact your car/home insurance company, many policies allow for additional coverage for the duration of the rental as a rider on your existing insurance policy. The best thing is to simply treat your rental with care, as though it was your own, and refrain from using it in water where you don’t know how shallow it is. Most people return their rental without any damage and receive their entire deposit back. What is your cancellation policy? Feel free to grab your spot months in advance. Reservations fill up fast! If your plans change, cancellations can be made AT LEAST 7 days prior to Rental Period start date and you will be issued a full refund. Reservations cancelled inside 7 days will be provided a gift card to rebook when convenient. Date change requests are subject to availability. What about weather? Only our company reserves the right to cancel this rental agreement due to inclement or impending bad weather that would prevent the safe operation of the watercraft. Rental fees will be prorated based on time used. If the entire rental is cancelled by our company we will issue a gift card for you to rebook. Is my rental guaranteed? Kinda. While it’s usually not an issue, our company’s ability to provide a rental watercraft, when reserved, is contingent upon and subject to the return of the unit by the previous lessee, or any other cause beyond LESSOR’S control. In the unlikely event that your Watercraft is not available, we will make it up to you with a full refund and an offer to rebook at a later date. Where do I pickup my rental? In-water rentals will be ready for you at the Sandbar Restaurant at Puce River Harbour. On Trailer Rentals will be picked up at our boat yard.

Any additional operators must sign the Rental Agreement at time of pickup with the named Renter present. A maximum of one other operator per vessel can be listed at no extra charge. What if I damage my rental? Notify us immediately. We have a chase boat to provide support and relationship with towing companies. Should any rental have any damage more than reasonable wear and tear, the renter will be billed for the repair. Our company at its sole discretion will determine what “reasonable wear and tear” is. In a dispute, an official quote will be obtained by the authorized boat dealer/ authorized repair centre. Am I allowed to tow wakeboards, skis, tubes and other water toys behind my rental? No sorry. This can be a dangerous activity and as such it is prohibited by our insurer. Can I take the rental anywhere I want? You can take our equipment to any Ontario lake that you want to.
