PONTOON RENTAL POLICIES
- We deliver your rented pontoon to the public boat landing of the lake you are staying at; then we reverse that process for pontoon pick up at the end of your rental
- We will go through the inspection checklist and will demonstrate starting and basic operations of the pontoon, as well as general lake information including any known hazards, though there may be hazards we are not aware of
- Hayward Wi Pontoon Rentals does require a major credit card for all reservations/ damage deposits (debit cards not accepted), a 3.5% fee will be charged to all/ any credit card charges
- Deposits for weekly rentals are refundable up to 30 days prior to your reservation date, however, there will be a minimum $75 processing fee for any cancellations.
- No rental refunds if weekly reservation is cancelled less than 30 days from your reservation date, although we will work to re-rent your vessel. If we are able to re-rent, you may be eligible for a partial to full refund

If severe damage occurs, the renters damage deposit will automatically be doubled until the extent of damages can be determined
- Daily rentals are never guaranteed a 24 hour rental period. Most of our daily rentals are only when the pontoon is available between weekly rentals
- As we update our fleet, you may not end up with the exact pontoon that you were originally booked with, but we always make sure to match you with a pontoon that will best fit your group
- If you have any kind of issue with one of our pontoons, including minor damage, you will be required to reach out to us immediately. Our fleet is fully booked all season long and we need to prepare if there is something to be assessed or fixe. If you do not alert us to needed maintenance, and the vessel is late to get to its next destination or if we have to pull the pontoon out of service, you will be charged accordingly
- There will be a $50 charge per 15 minutes on late rental delivery/return. If your tardiness causes us to be late to other deliveries/pickups, you will be charged in addition accordingly
