These Terms and Conditions govern the rental of any motor vehicle by ALiN Car Rental ("the Company") to the person or entity named in the Car Rental Agreement ("the Renter"). They form an inseparable part of that Agreement. The version identifier above is recorded against each contract so that the exact terms applicable to a given rental remain identifiable.

1. Eligibility and Authorized Drivers

1.1 The Renter must hold a valid, non-expired driver's license appropriate to the vehicle class and must present a valid government-issued identification document.
1.2 Only the Renter and drivers expressly authorized in writing by the Company on the Additional Driver Authorization Form may operate the vehicle.
1.3 The Company may decline or terminate a rental where eligibility cannot be verified.

2. Reservation, Down Payment and Confirmation

2.1 A reservation is a request until the Company approves it and the required down payment is received and verified.
2.2 The down payment stated on the reservation confirms the booking and is credited in full against the final rental charges.
2.3 The Company may release a reserved vehicle if the down payment is not received by the payment deadline shown on the reservation.

3. Charges Arising From the Rental

3.1 No security deposit is collected. Charges arising from the rental are billed to the Renter after the vehicle is returned.
3.2 Only charges that are documented and authorized may be billed — damage supported by an inspection and an approved damage assessment, excess mileage, fuel, late hours, traffic or regulatory fines incurred during the rental period, or recovery costs.
3.3 Every charge is itemized with a stated reason on the Final Statement of Account.

4. Rental Period, Mileage and Extensions

4.1 The rental period runs from the recorded release date and time to the agreed return date and time.
4.2 Rental is charged per started twenty-four-hour day, with a minimum of one day.
4.3 The daily mileage allowance stated on the reservation applies for the whole period. Distance beyond the allowance is charged at the published excess mileage rate per kilometre.
4.4 Extensions require the Company's prior approval and are subject to vehicle availability. Approved extensions are charged at the applicable daily rate.

5. Return, Late Return and Fuel

5.1 The vehicle must be returned to the agreed location at or before the agreed return time.
5.2 A grace period of sixty (60) minutes applies. Beyond that, each started hour is charged at the published overtime hourly rate, capped at one full additional rental day.
5.3 The vehicle must be returned with the fuel level recorded at release. Any shortfall is charged at the published refuelling rate per one-eighth of a tank.
5.4 A vehicle returned requiring cleaning beyond ordinary use is subject to the published cleaning charge.
5.5 Keys not returned, or returned damaged or unusable, incur a replacement fee set by the type of vehicle and the price quoted for its keys by the authorized casa or dealer, including any programming or coding charge needed to make the replacement keys operate the vehicle. The quotation supporting the charge is provided to the Renter.

6. Condition, Inspection and Damage

6.1 The vehicle is inspected jointly before release. Odometer, fuel level, accessories and any pre-existing damage are recorded on the Vehicle Release and Pre-Rental Inspection Form.
6.2 The Renter acknowledges that condition record at hand-over. Damage not recorded at release and found at return is treated as new damage.
6.3 New damage is documented with photographs, assessed, and must be approved by an authorized officer of the Company before any amount may be charged.
6.4 The Renter may inspect the damage record and the assessment supporting any charge.

7. Use of the Vehicle

7.1 The vehicle must not be used: to carry passengers or goods for hire outside the terms agreed; to push or tow any vehicle or trailer; in any race, contest or speed test; off sealed public roads unless expressly agreed in writing; for any unlawful purpose; while the driver is under the influence of alcohol, drugs or any substance impairing driving ability; or by any person other than the Renter or an authorized additional driver.
7.2 Every vehicle is strictly non-smoking. The Renter must not smoke or vape in the vehicle, nor permit any passenger to do so, and must not carry any pet or animal, whether caged, crated or otherwise restrained, save for a service animal declared to and accepted by the Company in writing before release.
7.3 The vehicle must be returned free of any lingering or offensive odour, including tobacco or vape smoke, animal odour, spilled food or beverage, durian and other strong-smelling produce, fish and other seafood, and any chemical or fuel odour.
7.4 A breach of 7.2 or 7.3 carries a penalty of ₱1,000.00 per violation. That penalty is in addition to the cleaning charge under 5.4, the cost of any deodorising or ozone treatment required, and the daily rental rate for each day the vehicle is withheld from hire for that purpose.

8. Incidents, Accidents and Breakdown

8.1 The Renter must notify the Company immediately of any accident, theft, damage, breakdown or incident involving the vehicle.
8.2 Where third parties or injuries are involved, the incident must be reported to the police and a report or blotter reference provided to the Company.
8.3 The Renter must not admit liability or authorize repairs without the Company's written consent.

9. Traffic Violations and Fines

All traffic, parking and regulatory violations incurred during the rental period are the responsibility of the Renter, including those received by the Company after the vehicle is returned.

10. Cancellation

Cancellations made more than 48 hours before the scheduled pick-up are refunded in full. Cancellations within 48 hours forfeit 50% of the down payment. No-shows forfeit the entire down payment.

11. Final Billing

Final Rental Charges = Base Rental + Extensions + Excess Mileage + Fuel + Late Fees + Authorized Damage and Other Charges − Applicable Discounts. The verified down payment is deducted from the Final Rental Charges to determine the Balance Due.

12. Data and Records

Documents submitted by the Renter are held under access controls and used only to verify eligibility and administer the rental. Transaction records, including inspection and payment records, are retained and remain available to authorized users and to the Renter on request.

13. Governing Terms

Where any provision of these Terms conflicts with a specific written provision of the Car Rental Agreement signed by both parties, the Agreement prevails to the extent of that conflict.
