STATUSFLAMINGO CORP, specialized in vehicle rentals, presents its services under the following terms and conditions, which govern the contractual relationship upon completion of the reservation and the execution of the contract signed by the client, who, by signing this instrument, declares full awareness, understanding, and agreement with all clauses herein.
1- A valid and enforceable liability insurance policy and personal injury protection insurance of any authorized rental or leasing driver shall be considered primary with respect to the liability limits and personal injury protection coverage required under §§ 324.021(7) and 627.736 of the Florida Statutes.
2- All prices displayed on this website include the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). Subject to the terms of Paragraphs 3 and 4 on the reverse of this contract, your responsibility for collision damage to the vehicle shall be limited to $0.

j) To transport more persons than available seat belts, or outside the passenger compartment;

4- The following are also prohibited uses: failure to notify the company and police of an accident, theft, or vandalism involving the vehicle; providing false, misleading, or fraudulent information to the company, or withholding information that would have prevented the rental; smoking or vaping any substance in the vehicle.
PROHIBITED USE OF THE VEHICLE VIOLATES THIS AGREEMENT, AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATES THE RENTAL, AND VOIDS ALL LIABILITY AND INSURANCE COVERAGE (TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW).
5- The minimum driver age is 23 years and the maximum is 65 years, with at least three years of driving experience. A valid U.S. driver’s license is required. Learner’s permits are not accepted.
6- The Client agrees to return the vehicle in the same condition as received. Failure to comply will result in the following penalties:
a) Loss or destruction of the vehicle’s documentation – total or partial – will require the Client to indemnify the company in the amount of €30 (thirty euros), covering losses including the cost of issuing replacement documents and administrative fees;
b) Fuel level below the original – if the vehicle is returned with less fuel than at the time of pickup, the Client is responsible for the cost of the missing fuel;
c) Vehicle cleaning – if the vehicle is returned in an unacceptable state, beyond normal wear or excessively dirty, a cleaning fee of up to €60 (sixty euros) will be charged;
d) Vehicle damage or non-compliance with insurance – if the vehicle shows damage or is not covered under the initially contracted insurance terms, the Client is fully responsible, as detailed in clause 2.
7- Failure to return the vehicle at the end of the rental period, as well as non-payment of any amounts due (including costs for vehicle or equipment damage), constitutes evidence of abandonment or refusal to return property, subject to penalties under § 812.155 of the Florida Statutes.
8- The vehicle is delivered with a warning triangle, standard tools, a spare wheel, five marked tires, registration booklet and title, green insurance card, a copy of the signed rental agreement, and, if applicable, an inspection sheet.
9- The Client is responsible for fines or penalties; an administrative fee of up to $40 USD will be applied for managing these processes. These administrative fees are in addition to the fines themselves.
10- In case of breakdown, the Client must immediately contact the company’s office, available 24 hours a day: STATUSFLAMINGO Assistance: +1 796-352-3797 or +1 786-374-9971.
11- If improper fuel is introduced into the vehicle, the Client is responsible for all related expenses, including complete fuel replacement, tank cleaning, engine tuning, towing to a workshop, and other vehicle damage.
12- Routine mechanical maintenance due to normal use is the company’s responsibility. If the vehicle becomes immobilized for mechanical reasons not due to misuse, a vehicle of the same or higher class will be provided at no additional cost. No replacement vehicle will be provided in case of accidents caused by the renter or mechanical failure due to negligence, and no rental refund is due.
13- The rental ends on the date specified by the client. To extend the rental, the client must visit the nearest company station to update the rental agreement 24 hours before the end of the rental period. Failure to obtain consent will be considered unauthorized use, subject to legal consequences and the driver’s responsibility. The vehicle must be returned to the rental station, unless express authorization is given, and within business hours.
14- The rental cost, as well as any additional services, must be paid at the start of the rental, based on the current price list.
15- In case of unavailability of the reserved vehicle, the company guarantees the provision of an equivalent service or a higher-class vehicle at no extra cost.
16- The Client also agrees to protect the interests of the rental company and its insurance provider in case of an accident during the rental period by:
a) Immediately notifying the police at 911;
b) Obtaining names, contacts, and addresses of involved parties and witnesses;
c) Not admitting responsibility or fault;
d) Not abandoning the vehicle without taking proper measures to protect it;
e) Not moving the vehicle from the accident scene until properly documented (photographically from multiple angles).
17- In case of accident, loss, damage, or theft, the occurrence must be reported immediately to the competent police authorities and to STATUSFLAMINGO within 24 hours. The Client is obliged to complete the accident report with as much detail as possible; otherwise, insurance options may be deemed null and void.
18- Any edits or modifications to this document’s terms and conditions are null unless agreed upon in writing.
19- The Client releases STATUSFLAMINGO, as well as its agents or employees, from any liability for loss or damage to their property or that of others left or transported in the vehicle, received, or stored by STATUSFLAMINGO at any time before, during, or after the rental.
20- STATUSFLAMINGO assumes no responsibility for delays or losses, including missed flights, caused by vehicle breakdowns or accidents.
21- It is expressly prohibited to use the vehicle for ride-sharing or transportation apps, including, but not limited to, Uber, Lyft, or similar services. Violation of this rule constitutes a ProhibitedUse of the Vehicle, which may result in the immediate termination of the rental agreement and the client’s liability for any resulting damages or losses.
