Complete the return slip with your name, rental agreement number, exact mileage, and return time. Place the keys and the completed slip into the secure drop box. Vehicles returned after hours will be processed by the vendor the following business day, typically opening at 8:00 AM. Please note that the renter remains fully responsible for the vehicle's condition and any parking violations until the vendor processes the return the next business day.
