Cancellation Policy
Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE]
We understand plans change. Peak Drive Rentals offers three cancellation policy tiers that hosts choose for their listings. The applicable policy is displayed on each listing and at checkout. Service fees are refunded in full for cancellations that qualify for a full refund; otherwise, service fees are non-refundable.
Default Cancellation Rules
Unless the listing specifies a different policy, the following default (Flexible) rules apply to all bookings:
| Cancellation Window | Refund |
|---|---|
| 48 or more hours before scheduled pickup | Full refund |
| 24 to 48 hours before scheduled pickup | 50% refund |
| Less than 24 hours before scheduled pickup | No refund |
Policy Tiers
Hosts choose one of three cancellation tiers when creating their listing. Each tier balances renter flexibility with host booking certainty.
Flexible
Best for renters who want maximum flexibility. Ideal for uncertain travel plans.
Moderate
A balanced policy offering reasonable flexibility with host protection.
Strict
Provides hosts with the most booking certainty. Lower daily rates may apply.
Host Cancellations
Hosts are expected to honor confirmed bookings. If a host cancels, the renter receives a full refund including all fees. Host penalties include:
- Cancellation fee of $50 or 10% of the booking total (whichever is greater)
- Temporary reduction in listing search ranking
- Account suspension after 3 or more cancellations in 90 days
- Super Host status revoked for the current evaluation period
No-Shows and Extenuating Circumstances
If a renter does not pick up the vehicle within 2 hours of the scheduled pickup time without contacting the host, the booking may be treated as a no-show and is not eligible for any refund.
In cases of documented emergencies such as natural disasters, government travel restrictions, or serious illness, Peak Drive Rentals may override the standard policy and issue a full refund at its discretion. Supporting documentation may be required.
How to Cancel
Cancel from your dashboard under "My Trips." The applicable refund amount is displayed before you confirm. Refunds are processed within 5-10 business days to the original payment method. For assistance, contact support@peakdriverentals.com.
