Common use of Authorized Drivers Clause in Contracts

Authorized Drivers. Persons authorized to operate vehicles rented under this Agreement, if properly licensed, include the renter, and without additional charge, the renter's fellow Government travelers in official travel status while acting within the scope of their employment duties. Such additional drivers need not be listed on the rental agreement. Government employees who are age 18 or older, if otherwise eligible, may rent and operate vehicles under this Agreement when on authorized Government travel. Company locations should be aware that, in many states, the driver's license issued to military personnel does not expire during the entire time the individual remains in active duty military service, and such licenses will be accepted regardless of the date of issuance or stated expiration if otherwise valid (i.e., not suspended or revoked for cause). For driver’s licenses subject to such state laws, the Company has the right to ask for a valid military identification card if an apparently expired driver’s license is presented. Random driver’s record checks are permissible under the U.S. Government Rental Car Program and are at the expense of the Company. Government renters are not required to complete driving history questionnaires unless questionnaire completion is required for all renters at that location. Government renters with a documented history of driving under the influence of intoxicants or prohibited drugs or charged with driving on a suspended license may be refused a rental vehicle.
