“A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.”

—John Steinbeck

For security reasons, Gourmet Everything does not accept cash or pre-paid gift cards as a form of payment. We apologize for any inconvenience.

We utilize a remote pickup process so your rental vehicle will be ready when you are. Just follow the pickup instructions provided once you are at the vehicle to check in and begin your trip. Please note, no start or end time adjustments will be made to your reservation if the vehicle is picked up late.

Do I Need to Clean My Rental Car Before Returning?

We would never require our guests to clean our vehicles before returning. However, if you return the car extraordinarily filthy you could be charged a $150 cleaning violation fee. Such eligible cleaning issues include biowaste or bodily fluids, spills or waste that require cleaning inside of vents or between the door panel and window, major stains or residue that cover a large area of the vehicle’s interior and would require steam cleaning or a full detail, an extreme amount of caked on mud, dirt, sand or insects that require professional-level exterior detailing, and significant amounts of pet hair.

How Do I Change or Cancel My Reservation

Please contact us as soon as possible if you have already picked up your vehicle and wish to keep it longer. If you have not picked up your vehicle you can view, modify, or cancel your reservation by clicking here. When visiting this page, you will need to make sure all fields are filled out. If you fail to enter in your confirmation number, first name, and last name — the reservation will not be found. If you have entered in all this information correctly and still cannot modify your reservation, please contact us. If you modify your pick-up or drop-off location, date or time, this may result in a change to your rates, taxes, surcharges, or underage fees. Please see your new rate quote when you verify your reservation.

Will I be charged if I cancel my reservation? If you cancel your booking more than 1 day (24 Hours) before your specified pick-up time, you will receive a full refund minus a cancellation fee of $50. If you cancel your booking less than 1 day (24 Hours) before your specified pick-up time, you will receive a full refund minus a cancellation fee of $100 and the daily rate of the booked vehicle.

Will I be charged if I don’t show up for my reservation? If you fail to pick up your prepaid rental on the specified pick-up date, you will receive a full refund minus a cancellation fee of $100 and the daily rate of the booked vehicle.

Will my rate change if I modify my reservation? Possibly – rental rates can change on a daily basis so changing the dates or number of days may change the daily rate.

What Happens if I Incur Toll or Ticket Charges?

All of our vehicles are equipped with a Toll Pass so feel free to ride right through any tolls and we’ll directly charge the credit or debit card listed on your rental agreement for any charges incurred during your trip. Gourmet Everything is not responsible for any toll charges or tickets you incur while driving our vehicles. You are also responsible for any other fees, penalties, towing charges, or impound costs. Guests are responsible for all expenses they incur in the rental vehicle. This includes tolls, tickets and towing.

How do you know that I generated this violation or toll? This notice was sent based upon information provided to us, as the registered owner of the vehicle, from a municipality or toll road authority. The information – based on the date, time and vehicle – indicates that you were the renter.

How can I pay my citation or toll? We will directly charge that credit or debit card listed on your rental agreement. There is no need to do anything else.

Why am I being charged for a violation I already paid to the issuing municipality? If you believe the charges have been paid, please send us proof of payment and a customer service representative will review and respond to your inquiry.

Can you send me the actual violation or toll notice? The letter we sent you includes details about the date and time, as well as the location of the incident. However, since we typically receive only electronic notifications – which reduce processing expenses and time delays – paper copies of tickets or violations generally, are not available.

Why have I received a letter directly from local authorities about a violation or toll? In some locations, Gourmet Everything works with local authorities to transfer liability for violations and tolls to the responsible car rental customer. When this occurs, customers pay for their violations or tolls directly to the local authorities. However, our standard administrative fee still applies.

Why am I being charged now after my rental period has ended? We depend on government and toll agencies for all information related to tolls and other violations. In most cases, that takes one to four weeks – although, in some circumstances, it may take even longer. Our goal is to notify you so that you are alerted as soon as possible. Under the terms and conditions in your rental agreement, you are responsible for all costs, fines, violations and tolls – as well as an administrative fee we charge for processing and billing.

I had my personal transponder in my vehicle, so why am I being billed? If you had your personal transponder in the vehicle and believe these charges are in error, please send us proof of payment. A customer service representative will review and respond to your inquiry.

Why am I getting multiple bills for the same rental period? Due to the timing we receive violation information from the various government and toll agencies, our billing system may notify you about each individual toll or violation separately. We will try to group bills when able.

Why are you charging me a fee? We apply this fee to all costs our affiliates and we incur for citations and tolls and their administration.
