Rental Terms and Conditions

We do not offer any type of compensation for cost due to mechanical breakdown. We do offer the manufacturers' roadside assistance for our vehicles. As you can imagine our customers travel quite far from our Whitehorse location to some remote places, therefore if a vehicle breaks down due to mechanical failure then we will be responsible to get it back ourselves at our cost and we would provide you with a replacement vehicle as soon as possible here in Whitehorse. You would be responsible to get yourself back to Whitehorse or pay 50% of the cost to deliver a vehicle to you. I hope you can understand our position on this, Yukon is just too big to offer anything better. You can count on us to be honest and responsive to everything.
