The price calculation is determined by the applicable flex-rate for your pick-up date at the time of booking. The effective price on your pick-up date is decisive for the first 7 days. For longer rentals, all days will be calculated according to the applicable flex-rate of the 8th day (or 15th day, etc.). The pick-up and drop-off days are calculated as one day (i.g. only the rental nights are counted just like with hotel bookings). Which flex-rate will be applicable for your desired vehicle model can be determined by means of a computation for your planned rental duration. The flex-rate depends on supply and demand and is re-calculated and updated weekly (Mondays) by the rental company. IMPORTANT for bookings with flex-rates: Any changes to the booking will result in the cancellation of the existing booking and a placement of a new booking with current prices. The following changes will require a new booking:

- Date change of the pick-up or drop-off day
- Change of the pick-up or drop-off location
- Change of the vehicle type
- Name change

Please note that the renter is responsible to the full extend for all damages caused to the vehicle due to under-cooling, frost, or freezing of tanks, warm water tank, and pipes. These costs are not covered by any insurance. Should temperatures below the freezing point be expected, all pipes, water and chemical tanks will have to be emptied. If freezing temperatures are expected, the rental company will already "winterize" the vehicle before your departure, to prevent freezing of pipes and tanks, by emptying them. "Winterized" means that all water is drained from tanks and no more water is allowed to be added to the fresh-water tank as also no water hook-ups are allowed to be used. There is NO more water available in the vehicle. The renter will have to use water from bought water bottles at his/her own cost for e.g. drinking water. Sinks, showers and toilets cannot be used anymore. The toilet, however, can partially be used as long as it is flushed with a windshield antifreeze; In the case of a deep freeze, even this is not possible anymore and public bathrooms will have to be used. It is the sole responsibility of the renter to "winterize" the vehicle i.g. return the vehicle in "winterized" condition, in the event that the vehicle was not "winterized" when picked-up due to a warmer climate or if the "winterization" was reversed during the trip. In case of violation of this rule, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions at the time of return, a fee will be charged to the renter. Please bear in mind when planning your route, that in some areas camping sites close during the winter and some roads, especially in the mountains, could be impassable due to poor weather conditions.

The upgrade will be provided at no charge to you and with no further liability to Apollo RV; any additional costs such as increased fuel consumption, ferry trips, or similar, are the responsibility of the renter and will not be reimbursed by Apollo RV. This does not entitle the renter to withdraw from the booking and also does not grant the right for compensation.

The police report must include the name and address of the persons involved and any witnesses, as well as the registration numbers of the vehicles. The renter has to provide Apollo with a detailed written report even if only minor damages occur.

IMPORTANT: If the renter omits the immediate notification (within 24 hours), and the rental company does not have the opportunity to take any remedial action, the right to possible reimbursement will terminate. If accidents are not reported (see above), the insurance coverage will expire.

Small repairs and necessary expenditures up to USD 100 can be done without the rental company's permission and will be reimbursed once the vehicle is returned. Repairs and expenditures above USD 100, will have to be approved in advance by the rental company (otherwise no reimbursement is possible).
