It is required by state law for every driver to have adequate car insurance coverage. Please review the North Carolina State Law regarding the minimum insurance requirements.

I DON'T HAVE AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE BUT I THINK I'M COVERED THROUGH MY CREDIT CARD? IF NOT, CAN YOU PROVIDE COVERAGE?
We are sorry but Credit card companies only offer secondary policies that only cover damage to your rental car, not general liability insurance, personal injury, etc., and some cars are excluded from coverage which may include, classics, vintage, cars older than 10 years, exotics, etc. Please contact us at hello@weddingcars.rent to arrange alternative insurance prior to your reservation.
DO YOU HAVE A CANCELLATION POLICY?
Yes, please give us at least 2 weeks prior notice if you have to cancel your reservation. Cancellations that are less than two weeks time are non-refundable since in most cases we have turned down several interested parties for the same car that is now not able to be rented. No refunds will be given if the cars are returned early or at the time of the rental delivery that your driver's license is not valid, proof of insurance is expired or you cannot drive a manual car, etc.)

Yes, just remember to please take the key and lock the car.
