Yes, we require a $25 plus tax per jet ski deposit to hold your reservation. We will send you an invoice to your email that you can conveniently pay securely by credit or debit card. The amount of your deposit will be put towards your total payment due at the time of your rental. If you cancel your reservation for any reason at least 48 hours in advance then we will give you a full refund.
Your deposit is then applied to the total amount due so before your rental time you will owe the difference.
We do collect one credit card on file for incidentals only. For groups larger than 3 jet skis then we will require more than one credit card on file for incidentals. We do not charge the card unless you cause damage to any of our jet skis during your rental.
The “renter” (the person who signs the paperwork) is responsible for any physical or bodily damage that occurs while the Jet Ski is being operated under the “renter’s” consent. The Jet Ski will be inspected after each use for damage. Repairs for damages will be at the renters expense.
In the event of damage, the credit card on file will be used to cover all damage to the equipment.
If it is determined by Island Vibez Watersport Rentals at the end of the rental period that no damages occured during your jet ski rental then you will not be charged for any damage fees and any damage deposits will be returned to the customer in a timely manner.
All jet ski rentals depart per scheduled time. Any late arrivals, no shows or change in the amount of jet skis reserved will NOT be refunded. If you wish to re-schedule or cancel your reservation, you must call in advance at least 48 hours prior to your rental time. If not done within that time frame you will lose your reservation deposit (NO REFUNDS) and the possibility of re-scheduling for another date.
We will give refunds when appointments are cancelled 48 hours before. We do not issue refunds if your rental time was interrupted, cancelled, or terminated by misuse of machinery or intolerable behavior, intoxicated, impaired, etc. You also may not receive a refund even if the jet ski malfunctions during your time.
A 48-hour cancellation policy applies to all reservations; reservations canceled within a 24-hour period is 100% non-refundable.
Weather conditions: If it is raining at the time of your rental, you will not be charged a cancellation fee. However, we do not cancel reservations based on a weather forecast unless the conditions at the time of your reservation are deemed unsafe. We will give a call, text or e-mail to all of our customers to provide a rescheduling opportunity for you. A full refund can be issued if you can’t make it for another date. In the case that it is a small passing shower, we will wait a few minutes (usually around 15 min to 30 min) and go out once it stops raining.
Please take into account that we will make this decision based on weather around the area of where the rental is supposed to be rented.
If it is raining someplace else or the weather is just cloudy, it doesn’t mean that you can cancel your ride. In this case, you will lose your reservation deposit and our regular cancellation policy stated above applies to the reservation.
If you are making a reservation for the same day, renter accepts that there are no refunds, no cancelations, and no rescheduling.
