Cruise
America's
Daily Rental
Rates are
know as
'Flex Rates'
. These
give you
the very
best available
price for
the motorhome
you want
to rent.
If you
book early
and there
are plenty
of motorhomes
available,
you will
pay a much
lower price.
If you
book closer
to departure
date or
book for
a high
demand
period
then the
rate will
be higher.
This is
a similar
system
to that
used by
airlines.
No mileage is included in the Flex rates. Choose
from the available mileage options above. Once
booked and confirmed, should you need to change,
the rate will be re-calculated using the most
current Flex rate and compared to the existing
flex rate. The higher rate will prevail. Changing
party size or adding pre-paid items does not
consitute a change. Flex rate valid for 35 days
and on day 36 a new Flex rate will apply.

Travelers Assistance Support
For concerns that clients may have, whether mechanical breakdowns, service problems, or holiday impairment, the client MUST call the (800) 334-4110 number. A call to the departure rental center is not recommended. Please note that availability of a toll-free number for Travelers Assistance on a 24-hour 7-day a week basis is unique to Cruise America. If the client calls Travelers Assistance they should have the Renter Assistance Guide in hand. The Travelers Assistance representative will refer to specific pages within the guide.
Vehicle Return Time
Beginning at 9:00 AM (09:00 hours) up to 11:00 AM (11:00 hours). With prepaid Early Bird Departure

Ferry
Restrictions:
Ferry reservations can be dificult to manage during high season. We recommend
your clients make
a reservation for at least a 30 foot vehicle on the ferry, irrespective as to
the size of the motorhome
reserved, to avoid problems due to possible upgrades.
Travel Restrictions:
Coverages are invalid if problems occur in the following areas and all recovery expenses are at
the client’s own cost. Violations of these restrictions void damage waivers and the client will be
held liable for all vehicle damages including to tires, towing charges and other related expenses
as a result of a breakdown associated with operating in these areas. Clients should consult the
Renter Assistance Guide and the departure location personnel for complete information on travel
restrictions and local circumstances at the time they collect their motorhome.
Alaska & Yukon and Northwest Territories & Newfoundland
Travel on all public and/or numbered roads is permitted. Travel on non-public roads, unpaved back
roads, trails and the like – commonly called ‘logging roads’ or on any surface subjecting the vehicle
to unreasonable damage or road hazard is prohibited. Clients may receive further information from
Cruise America regarding seasonal travel restrictions as well. We reserve the right to restrict travel,
dependent on current road conditions.
