Common use of Refueling Charge Clause in Contracts

Refueling Charge. a. Rates for all Classes of vehicles provided under the Contract are dry rates and do not include fuel. Gasoline and other forms of fuel (e.g., diesel) will be charged to the Renter when the vehicle is returned with less than a full tank of fuel according to the vehicle fuel gauge. Prior to returning the vehicle, Renters must refill the vehicle or pay the refueling charge. b. If a rental vehicle is returned with less fuel than a full tank of gas and a refueling charge is applied, the refueling charge will be calculated by multiplying the per- gallon rate by the number of gallons needed to fill the tank to the fuel level at the time of pickup. The refueling charge and the per-gallon rate shall be separately itemized on the rental invoice. c. The per-gallon rate shall be the Florida Midgrade (Conventional Areas) rate as posted on the first Monday of every month in the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) Weekly Retail Gasoline and Diesel Prices Index.
