The Big Day

Weeks if not months of planning have all come to this. Some people come fully loaded and pack up right in the parking lot, while others prefer to pick up the rig and bring it home before departing. Expect the orientation to take about an hour. There's a lot of information to cover, we urge you to watch every video we have posted about your rental in the hopes that it won't be quite so overwhelming the day of pickup. There's a fair amount of paperwork to go through as well.

Packing

  • Store heavy items as low as possible, lighter items can be stored higher.
  • Anything not nailed down will slide or roll.
  • We try to get the fridge running before you pick up so it's cold when you arrive, but you may want to bring a few cold packs or ice just in case.

Orientation

  • We strongly urge you to watch the videos we created for Hot Tomato. There are roughly eighteen videos in all. It will probably take about a half hour or so to watch them. This will help prepare you for the orientation.
  • You can't just swap out your EZPass if you have one, the reading device is set to our license plates as well as the type and size of the vehicle.

Documents

We will have all of the documentation you require ready for you when you arrive regardless of which booking site you chose. Depending on which site, you may have to fill in your individual name, address and driver's license numbers.

Outdoorsy

Most of the documents for Outdoorsy are "as advertised" with the exception of their rental contract which was needlessly fractured and required up to eight signatures. Our version contains all of the same language, plus some extra of our own for clarity, like, length of rental, agreed price, additional costs, etc., all with a single signature line.
