Replacement car policy varies and should be negotiated upfront. Standard corporate contracts usually include replacement during scheduled maintenance (oil change, annual service) but not always for unexpected repairs. With Octane Rent, we get replacement cars within 24 hours for any service needs which is crucial for business continuity. Some companies charge extra for this or make you wait days.

Specify in contract: maximum wait time for replacement, whether replacement is same class vehicle or could be downgrade, and who pays if employee needs rental while waiting. For critical employees (sales team, executives), negotiate guaranteed same-day replacement. We’ve had situations where multiple cars needed service same week – make sure provider has adequate fleet for replacements.
