Hey y'all,

So Lily, Jesse, and I went to Burner Lab this weekend and came out with a good bit of information to discuss as we walked through the East Village. Notable decisions include scaling back our shade structure to the original plan, Jesse volunteering to coordinate our food story, and researching bike recycling options in Reno.

Not using the Astor shade structure significantly scales back our logistical issues--we no longer need to ship anything in the train container, for one. Instead we'll string a tarp over our rental car(s) and camp out underneath. Ideally, we'd have two cars to accomodate our people and supplies and extend our shade area, but I have only gone so far as to reserve one.

Before we reserve a second, I need to know: who is committed to coming for the entire trip? So far I am counting Lily, Sean, Jesse, and myself. Any more people mean a second car and a shared rental cost of about $150 each for the week.

terms and conditions

The following terms and conditions apply for your rental:


additional fees & credit holds:
 Your total rental rate is calculated based on the information provided at time of reservation.
 Rate quoted is in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.
 Vehicles are rented on a daily (24 hour) basis. There is a 29-minute grace period for returns. After 30 minutes late, hourly charges may apply. After 90 minutes late, a full-day late charge may apply.
 For locations that require a credit card to secure the reservation, failure to cancel the reservation at least 48 hours before scheduled pickup may result in a $75 US fee.
 The U.S. Government imposes a $5/day Admin Rate Supplement (GARS/GA) for U.S. Government rentals.
 Optional coverages, special equipment and one way fees are subject to tax in certain locations. This tax is not reflected in the total.
 If you selected Fuel Service Option, fuel price isn't included in your reservation total, but prevailing market rate will be added when you return your car.
Total Estimated Charges Hold Rules
 Generally (unless indicated otherwise in the "Other" section below), at the time of rental, we'll require a credit card hold of total estimated charges or $200, whichever is greater.
 If you're using a debit card at a location that accepts them, we'll require a minimum hold that ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the location. Most U.S. locations follow the minimum hold of $300, however, exceptions are indicated in the “Other” section below. If your total estimated charges are greater than the minimum hold, then the hold will equal the total estimated charges.
    - If your car isn't returned on or before your due date, we'll make up to three additional holds (depending on how long you keep the car) on your card to cover expected rental charges.
    - When you return the car, we'll subtract the final amount of your rental, crediting back any unused portion, from the hold on your card.
     - Your bank may take up to two weeks to post a credit to your card.
    - We're not responsible for any returned checks due to debit card holds.
    - Your bank may take up to two weeks to post a credit to your card.
    - You may not use a debit card for the required hold if you are renting a Driver’s Choice car (all Group X specialty vehicles). However, a debit card may be used for payment at time of vehicle return.
Unless indicated otherwise in the "Other" section below, an additional $25 per day fee applies for renters under 25 years of age. This fee is in addition to your quoted online rate. Renters under the age of 25 may not rent luxury, full-size SUV, premium SUV, full-size van, mini van, special cars or pick-up trucks.
An automatic $10.50 EZ-Fuel refueling service charge will be applied to all rentals under 75 miles. Renters that return the car with a full tank of gas and provide a receipt showing the purchase of gasoline will have the charge reversed when completing their rental.
All additional drivers must be at least 25 years of age. Unless indicated otherwise in the "Other" section below, the fee for each additional driver is $10 per day with a maximum charge of $50 per rental. The following are exempt from the fee but must meet all other driver requirements: the renter's employer or fellow employee when on company business and renting under a corporate account; the renter's spouse, mate, life companion, significant other, live-in, domestic life partner or similar; the companion driver of a renter with a disability who has completed the non-licensed renter form; for insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members who are designated on the insurance policy.

required credentials:
 At time of pick up, driver must present a valid driver's license in the driver's name.
 All drivers must have a safe driving record.
 When using some offer codes, you must provide association, corporate, or government credentials to prove eligibility for the special rate/benefit.
 Generally (unless indicated otherwise in the "Other" section below), any time you use a debit card at a location that accepts them, you must also present a second form of current identification as follows:
    - At an off-airport location, your second form of identification must be either a valid U.S. passport; U.S. military identification card; recent pay stub; recent bank statement; valid car insurance card; or a copy of a phone, electric or cable bill that's no more than 60 days old and includes an address that matches your driver's license address OR;
    - At an airport location, your second form of identification must be your round-trip ticket; flight itinerary that includes the return date; or e-ticket for the airport of arrival. Or, if you are not flying into that airport, you must present one of the following: a valid U.S. passport; U.S. military identification card; recent pay stub; recent bank statement; valid car insurance card; or a copy of a phone, electric or cable bill that's no more than 60 days old and includes an address that matches your driver's license address.

other:
The fee for each additional driver is $10 per day, with no maximum. The following are exempt from the fee but must meet all other driver requirements: the renter's employer or fellow employee when on company business and renting under a corporate account; the renter's spouse, mate, life companion, significant other, live-in, domestic life partner or similar; the companion driver of a renter with a disability who has completed the non-licensed renter form; for insurance replacement rentals, company employees or family members who are designated on the insurance policy.
 In the U.S., you may be asked to sign a driving record addendum or be subject to a computerized Department of Motor Vehicles check. Based upon such search, Budget reserves the right to deny a rental opportunity.
If you use a debit card at this location, you won't need to present a second form of identification, but we will perform a credit check at the time of rental to determine credit worthiness.
