Lonavity will send a confirmation of all the information that was previously exchanged during our communication ahead of the trip.

Before the departure and the return, a complete inspection is mandatory as per section 3.4 of the terms of service. We will do a thorough walk-through of the van and ensure that you are fully comfortable with how it works and that you understand
all the different features.

Once you’ve paid your booking and we’ve confirmed it, you will be prompted to complete a background and driving record check. This is required on every booking for insurance and security purposes, and to ensure that you meet the requirements to rent the van.

RVezy Fees

Whenever you make a booking, RVezy applies a service fee to the total rental amount, any selected add-ons, and all closeout charges except for damage charges. 

Service fees are determined based on several factors, including lead time to the booking, RV availability in each area, trip duration, and vehicle value. 

Should the service fee on the rental amount fall below the minimum of $15/night for all van rentals, RVezy will apply the minimum mentioned service fee per night. The percentage service fee will still apply to the rental amount, add-ons, and closing charges.

The service fee covers

- booking management

- secure payment processing

- verification of owners RVs

- support from the RVezy customer service team

RVezy will charge tax on the service fee, roadside assistance (if selected), and insurance.

Lonavity will charge tax on the rental amount and add-ons based on your province of residence.

Note: You will not be taxed twice on the rental, as RVezy’s tax and the Lonavity taxes are charged on separate items.

Late Fee

If you are late returning the van, you will be charged a fee of $100 to Lonavity and a $50 administrative fee to RVezy. The full amount will be deducted from your security deposit.

Cleaning Fee

If the van is excessively dirty, there will be a $150 cleaning fee to Lonavity and a $50 administration fee to RVezy. The full amount will be deducted from your security deposit.

Absentee Fee

If you don’t show up to collect the van and you didn’t contact Lonavity or a member of the RVezy team, you will be charged the total amount of the reservation.

Refill Fee

If the van is returned without being full of gas, the amount of fuel will be deducted from your security deposit and a $50 administration fee to RVezy.

Damage or Missing Items Fee

If there are missing items or if it's damaged, the value of all damaged and missing items will be deducted from the security deposit.

All payments are made directly through the RVezy website and they accept payment by credit card or debit Visa cards. 

If you book less than 37 days before the start of your trip, you are required to pay the full rental amount immediately to confirm your booking for your trip. 

If you book more than 37 days before the start of your trip, an initial deposit of 25% of the total is required. Then, 37 days before your trip is set to begin, the remaining balance of 75% will be charged to your card on file.

A security deposit is required for every booking and will be charged to the credit card on file three days before the start of your trip. Once the van is returned to Lonavity and the booking is closed out in the system, the security deposit will be refunded.
