How We Use Your Information.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
- Process Reservations: to process and manage your car rental reservations, including sending confirmation and updates.

- Communication: to communicate with you about your reservations, respond to inquiries and provide customer support.
Data Security.
We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Despite these efforts, no data transmission over the internet is entirely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention.
We retain rental records (including reservation details, signed rental agreements, driver's license information and vehicle condition photos) for the period required by Florida law and our records policy, generally up to five years from the rental end date (Fla. Stat. § 95.11), after which they are deleted or anonymized unless a longer retention period is required by law or an active claim. SMS program data is retained only while you remain subscribed to our SMS service.
