A fleet manager signs for the rental entity, confirms vehicle condition records, authorizes drivers, and enforces corporate insurance and liability policies in ongoing rental operations.
An individual renter signs to accept stated terms, provide valid identification and payment, disclose driving history as required, and acknowledge responsibility for fuel, mileage, and potential damages.
