After-Hours Returns

If you are returning your rental car when our office is closed, please follow the steps below:

  1. Park the vehicle upstairs in front of the Mobil Station (same location as our usual returns area).
  2. Take the keys inside to the Mobil attendant and hand them over – they will securely hold the keys for us.
  3. Our Shore Rentals team will collect the keys and inspect the vehicle on the next business day.
  4. Once the inspection is complete, your bond will be released. Any incidentals such as fuel top-ups, toll road charges, or other applicable costs will be deducted before the bond is returned.

If you need help or have questions about an after-hours return, please contact us prior to your drop-off so we can make the process as smooth as possible.
