Terms of Service
Last updated: 2026-04-20 · Effective date: upon execution of a reservation
DRAFT — Pending Attorney Review
This document is a working draft and is not yet legally binding. It is provided for informational purposes only. The final rental agreement is signed at pickup or delivery, at which time the renter will also present a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Do not rely on this draft as the operative rental agreement.
1. Parties & Introduction
This Trailer Rental Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into between Trailer Princess LLC ("Lessor" or "Trailer Princess"), a Texas limited liability company based in Leander, TX, and the individual or entity completing the reservation ("Lessee" or "Renter").
By completing a reservation or accepting delivery of a trailer, Lessee agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement is governed by the Texas Business and Commerce Code, including Chapter 2A (Leases of Goods), and applicable Texas common law.
References to "the trailer" mean the specific trailer unit identified in the reservation confirmation. References to "the rental period" mean the dates and times confirmed in the reservation.
2. Rental Period & Return
The rental period begins and ends at the dates and times stated on the reservation confirmation. Lessee is responsible for returning the trailer — or ensuring it is available for pickup — at the agreed-upon time.
Late returns will accrue an additional day's rental fee for each 24-hour period (or fraction thereof) beyond the scheduled return time, plus any applicable delivery or retrieval costs incurred by Trailer Princess.
Lessee must return the trailer in substantially the same condition as received — clean, undamaged, and with all accessories present. Normal wear and tear is excepted. Excessive dirt, debris, or odor may result in a cleaning fee deducted from the security deposit.
3. Fees & Payment
Rental rates are as quoted at the time of reservation. The total charges include the base rental fee, applicable delivery fee, and any applicable Texas sales tax on taxable portions of the rental.
Delivery fees: Free delivery within 10 miles of Leander. $10 per 10 miles beyond.
Payment in full (or the deposit required to hold a reservation) is due at the time of booking unless otherwise agreed in writing. Accepted payment methods will be specified at the time of booking. Returned or declined payments may result in cancellation of the reservation and a processing fee.
All fees quoted are in U.S. dollars. Prices are subject to change for future reservations but will not change after a confirmed booking.
4. Security Deposit
A refundable security deposit is required prior to or at the commencement of the rental period. The deposit amount will be disclosed at the time of reservation.
Trailer Princess may apply all or a portion of the deposit against: (a) unpaid rental fees or late charges; (b) the cost of repairing damage to the trailer beyond normal wear and tear; (c) cleaning fees for trailers returned in an unacceptable condition; or (d) any other amounts owed by Lessee under this Agreement.
The remaining deposit balance, if any, will be returned to Lessee within 7 business days after a successful return inspection confirming no damage, outstanding fees, or other claims. Trailer Princess will provide a written accounting of any deductions made from the deposit.
5. Lessee Eligibility & Required Documents
To rent a trailer, Lessee must meet all of the following requirements:
- Be at least 18 years of age at the time of the rental.
- Present a valid U.S. driver's license that is current and not suspended, revoked, or expired.
- Maintain active auto insurance that covers trailer use, either through the Lessee's existing vehicle policy or through documented alternative coverage acceptable to Trailer Princess.
Lessee will present a valid driver's license and proof of insurance at the time of pickup or delivery. Trailer Princess will verify these documents before trailer handoff. Trailer Princess reserves the right to refuse service or withhold handoff if any of the above requirements cannot be verified, or if Trailer Princess has reasonable cause to believe the Lessee poses a risk of damage, loss, or unsafe operation.
6. Tow Vehicle Requirements
Lessee is solely responsible for ensuring that the tow vehicle used during the rental period is compatible with and adequate for the selected trailer. At minimum, the tow vehicle must have:
- Sufficient towing capacity (as rated by the vehicle manufacturer) for the loaded weight of the trailer and its cargo.
- A hitch and coupler of the correct size and ball rating for the trailer tongue.
- A trailer brake controller if required for the trailer's braking system under Texas law or manufacturer specifications.
- Functioning trailer lights and electrical connector compatible with the trailer's wiring harness.
Trailer Princess strongly encourages Lessee to verify compatibility before confirming a reservation. Trailer Princess is not responsible for damage or injury resulting from use of an incompatible or under-rated tow vehicle. Lessee assumes all risk associated with towing decisions.
7. Permitted Use
The trailer may be used only for lawful, ordinary hauling purposes within the continental United States during the rental period.
The trailer may not be used for:
- Transport of hazardous materials, except as permitted by applicable DOT regulations for private non-commercial use.
- Transport of livestock, unless the specific trailer rented is designated and approved for livestock use.
- Off-road use beyond normal job-site or unpaved-driveway conditions (i.e., no recreational off-roading, mudding, or use on terrain that could cause damage).
- Sub-rental, re-rental, or any commercial lending of the trailer to third parties.
- Racing, speed testing, or competitive use of any kind.
- Any illegal purpose under federal, state, or local law.
Any use outside these permitted purposes voids Lessee's right to a security deposit refund and may result in immediate termination of the rental and additional liability.
8. Handoff, Inspection & Acceptance
The rental agreement is signed at the time of trailer handoff — either at pickup (when Lessee arrives to collect the trailer) or at delivery (when Trailer Princess drops off the trailer at the agreed location). Online reservation requests through this website are not themselves the operative rental contract; they establish the intent to rent and capture the information needed to prepare the final agreement.
At the time of pickup or delivery, Lessee is expected to inspect the trailer and verify that it is in working condition and free of pre-existing damage beyond what is documented. By signing the rental agreement and accepting the trailer, Lessee acknowledges that the trailer was received in satisfactory condition except for any items noted in writing at the time of acceptance.
Any pre-existing damage, defects, or missing accessories must be reported to Trailer Princess immediately — before the trailer is moved or used — either in writing (text/email is acceptable) or by notation on the rental checklist. Failure to report pre-existing conditions may result in Lessee being held responsible for those conditions upon return.
If the trailer is delivered and Lessee is not available to inspect at the time of delivery, Lessee has up to one hour after delivery to report any pre-existing issues before use of the trailer begins.
9. Damage, Loss & Theft
Lessee is responsible for any damage to, loss of, or theft of the trailer that occurs during the rental period, beyond normal wear and tear. This responsibility begins when the trailer is delivered to or picked up by Lessee and ends when it is returned and inspected by Trailer Princess.
In the event of damage, Lessee must notify Trailer Princess as promptly as possible and, in any case, before returning the trailer. In the event of theft or vandalism, Lessee must:
- Notify Trailer Princess immediately upon discovering the theft or vandalism.
- File a police report with the appropriate jurisdiction and provide a copy of the report number to Trailer Princess.
Lessee's liability for damage or loss may be offset by insurance coverage. Trailer Princess encourages Lessee to confirm with their auto insurer that trailer use is covered under their policy prior to the rental.
10. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by Texas law, Lessee agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Trailer Princess LLC, its members, managers, employees, agents, and successors ("Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to:
- Lessee's use, operation, or possession of the trailer during the rental period.
- Any accident, injury, property damage, or death caused by or occurring in connection with the trailer while in Lessee's possession.
- Any breach by Lessee of this Agreement or applicable law.
- Third-party claims arising from Lessee's operation of the trailer.
This indemnification obligation survives the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Texas law, Trailer Princess LLC's total liability to Lessee for any claim arising out of this Agreement shall be limited to the total rental fees actually paid by Lessee for the specific rental transaction giving rise to the claim. Trailer Princess shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential, incidental, punitive, or special damages, regardless of the theory of liability or whether Trailer Princess was advised of the possibility of such damages.
The trailer is provided "as is" with respect to any representations not expressly stated in this Agreement. Trailer Princess does warrant that the trailer is fit for ordinary trailer use at the commencement of the rental period. No other warranties, express or implied, are made beyond this implied warranty of fitness for ordinary use.
Nothing in this section limits liability that Texas law prohibits from being limited, including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12. Delivery Policy
Trailer Princess offers trailer delivery to locations within the service area. Delivery requires a minimum of 3 business days' advance notice from the time the reservation is confirmed. Same-day or next-day delivery cannot be guaranteed.
Lessee is responsible for designating a delivery location that is:
- Accessible to the delivery vehicle and trailer combination.
- Legally permissible for trailer parking during the rental period (e.g., not blocking a fire lane, public roadway, or otherwise prohibited by local ordinance).
- Level enough and with adequate clearance to safely drop and retrieve the trailer.
Trailer Princess reserves the right to reschedule or cancel a delivery due to severe weather, unsafe road conditions, inaccessible drop location, or other site safety concerns. In such cases, Trailer Princess will contact Lessee as early as reasonably possible to arrange an alternative.
Delivery fees: Free delivery within 10 miles of Leander. $10 per 10 miles beyond.
13. Cancellation & No-Show Policy
Lessee may cancel a confirmed reservation without charge if notice is provided to Trailer Princess at least 48 hours before the scheduled start of the rental period.
Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the rental start may result in forfeiture of a portion of prepaid fees, as specified in the reservation confirmation. This partial forfeiture compensates Trailer Princess for the reserved time that cannot be re-rented on short notice.
If Lessee fails to appear at the agreed pickup time, or is not present at the delivery location at the agreed delivery time without prior notice ("no-show"), the first day's rental fee is forfeited and the security deposit may be retained to cover any additional administrative or repositioning costs incurred by Trailer Princess.
Trailer Princess may cancel a reservation due to trailer unavailability or events beyond its reasonable control. In such cases, Lessee will receive a full refund of all prepaid amounts.
14. Default & Remedies
Lessee shall be in default under this Agreement if Lessee: (a) fails to pay any amount due when required; (b) fails to return the trailer at the agreed time; (c) uses the trailer for a prohibited purpose; (d) abandons the trailer; or (e) otherwise materially breaches any provision of this Agreement.
Upon default, Trailer Princess may, to the extent permitted by Texas law, including Tex. Bus. & Com. Code Chapter 2A:
- Declare all unpaid rental fees and charges immediately due and payable.
- Repossess the trailer without prior notice if the trailer is located and repossession can be accomplished without breach of the peace.
- Pursue any other remedies available under Texas law.
In any legal action or arbitration to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, as permitted by Texas law.
15. Governing Law & Venue
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to its conflict-of-laws provisions.
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Williamson County, Texas. Lessee irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to venue in Williamson County.
For disputes involving amounts within the jurisdiction of Texas Justice Courts, either party may elect to proceed in small claims court in Williamson County, Texas.
16. Severability
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, or severed from the Agreement if modification is not possible. The remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
17. Entire Agreement
This Agreement, together with the completed reservation confirmation and any addenda or written amendments signed by both parties, constitutes the entire agreement between Trailer Princess LLC and Lessee regarding the subject matter hereof. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, representations, negotiations, and agreements, whether oral or written, relating to the rental.
No oral modifications to this Agreement are valid or binding. Any amendment or modification must be in writing and signed or otherwise acknowledged by an authorized representative of Trailer Princess.
Lessee acknowledges having read and understood this Agreement and agrees to be bound by its terms.
