Substitution Policy:
Inevitably, the reserved watercraft will occasionally be unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances at the time of your rental reservation. We reserve the right to offer you a substitute watercraft of equal or higher value instead of the initially reserved watercraft at no extra cost to you.

Damage Policy:
A damage deposit of $300 per watercraft is due before departure, in addition to any applicable rental charges, booking fees, other taxes and fees, fuel surcharges, or other incidentals, including additional fees for actual damages to the watercraft. In the event of damage, the damage deposit will be retained, or may be adjusted up or down by Dallas Watersport Rentals Staff based on their assessment of actual or probable damage and other related costs, including but not limited to the actual or estimated costs of repair for physical damage to the watercraft, cost of recovery to equipment/passengers, towing fees, staffing costs to trailer equipment to repair facility, and lost rentals, at that time based on their sole discretion.
Dallas Watersport Rentals will have the damage further assessed by authorized third party repair facility (within approximately two weeks from the time that the damaged rental is returned) at which time the damage deposit charge may be adjusted accordingly. Final costs associated with damages, including those from the authorized repair facility, may be further modified after the repairs have been completed and Dallas Watersport Rentals pay the final invoice. Providing the damage does not exceed the damage deposit amount, the adjusted charges should be applied and the remaining deposit charges, if applicable, will be returned within approximately 2-3 Weeks.
Renter is responsible for any losses and damages to Dallas Watersport Rentals watercraft while in their care, including but not limited to full cost of new replacement watercraft, from causes including but not limited to trailering, launching, running aground, collision with other boaters or objects on or below the water, running engine or systems out of fluids or with low fluids causing premature wear to mechanical systems, weather loss, dockage, anchoring, or any other cause whether or not the Renter is directly at fault.
Renter will get his/her damage deposit back if the watercraft is returned unharmed as determined solely by Dallas Watersport Rentals staff.
Renter is solely responsible for ensuring the safety and passengers of the vessel during the rental period.
All damages or loss to watercraft above $100 or injury to person or property must be reported to Dallas Watersport Rentals and local law enforcement immediately.
