Rental Terms

Last updated: October 29, 2026. By booking, you agree to these terms, the Waiver, and the Shop Rules.

1. Who we are

RentABayNC is operated by River Rat Enterprises Inc (the "Shop"), 668 Smithtown Rd, Grimesland, NC 27837, on a booking platform provided by CTE Digital LLC, doing business as CTE Studios (the "Platform"). The Shop, not the Platform, provides the bays and the premises. Contact: (252) 214-4784, hi@rentabaync.com.

2. What you are renting

Time in a work bay, with a lift (in bays that have one), compressor and air hoses, jack stands, lighting, power and the restroom. You bring your own hand tools. The Shop does not repair your vehicle and does not lend or operate the tire machine, wheel balancer or A/C machine for renters.

3. Who can rent

  • You must be 18 or older with a valid photo ID, and sign the Waiver before your first visit. Every helper signs the helper form before entering the work area. Friends who only wait stay in the customer area.
  • You must own the vehicle or have its owner's permission.
  • Keep your login private. You are responsible for what happens on your account, and the information you give us must be true.
  • Personal use only. No work for pay, no work on other people's vehicles, no running a repair or resale business out of the bay.

4. Hours and bookings

  • Open to everyone Thursday to Sunday during posted hours. Monday to Wednesday is by arrangement: call or send a request on the contact page, and the Shop will confirm a time.
  • Book on the website. Rates, minimums and the booking window are on the pricing page. Your time is held for about 15 minutes while you pay, and a little longer once you start paying.
  • Arrive on time. Bay time starts at your booked start time, whether or not you are there.

5. Payment

  • Pay when you book, by card, through our payment partner. Prices are in US dollars. The price you see at checkout is the total you pay, with any tax that applies already included.
  • By booking you authorize the Shop to charge your card for the items in section 8 when they apply, and we will tell you what each charge was for.
  • Day and weekend-pass rentals are billed as described on the pricing page. A monthly bay is arranged with the Shop directly and billed as the Shop agrees with you in writing.

6. Changing or cancelling

  • 24 hours or more before your start: full refund.
  • Under 24 hours: one hour of bay time is charged.
  • No-show: the first 2 hours are charged. Day and weekend passes: 48 hours' notice instead of 24.
  • If the Shop cancels or cannot provide the bay (equipment failure, weather, emergency), you choose a reschedule or a full refund.

7. Using the bay

  • Follow the Shop Rules and staff instructions. The Shop may stop your work, move you or end your rental at once if it thinks you are unsafe or breaking the rules, with no refund.
  • Lifts only after the lift orientation. The first orientation is free and counts toward your first booking.
  • Restricted work: welding, cutting or grinding with sparks, paint and body-filler work, hybrid and electric high-voltage work, airbag handling, refrigerant venting, and anything else posted. Ask first for engine or transmission pulls and fuel-system work.
  • No food or drink in the bays. No alcohol or drugs. No smoking or open flame.
  • Leave the bay clean. Fluids go in the marked containers. Take away your parts, tires, batteries and trash.

8. Fees that can apply

Listed with their current amounts on the pricing page:

  • Cleaning fee if the bay is not left clean (the check-out photo is the record).
  • Overtime if you stay past your booking and it affects the next booking.
  • Fluid and disposal fee for oil, coolant and filters you leave.
  • Storage fee if your vehicle stays past your booking without a weekend pass or monthly rental.
  • Damage you or your helpers cause to the building or equipment, at repair or replacement cost.

9. Your vehicle and belongings

You keep possession and control of your vehicle and belongings. The Shop is not responsible for your vehicle, the work you do on it, or items left in it. (See the Waiver.) Vehicles may stay overnight only on a weekend pass or monthly rental, or as the Shop agrees, and at your risk. Do not leave keys with the Shop unless the Shop asks for them.

10. Vehicles left behind

If your vehicle stays after your booking and you do not respond to the Shop's notices, storage fees apply. After 30 days, and after the Shop has tried to reach you by the phone number and email on your account, the Shop may treat the vehicle as abandoned and handle it as North Carolina law allows. That may include towing it and claiming a lien for the storage and other charges, with the notices the law requires. You remain responsible for those charges.

11. Insurance

You are responsible for insuring your own vehicle. Your own auto policy may not cover injuries to you while working on a vehicle; ask your insurer.

12. Cameras

Video cameras (no audio) operate on the premises for safety and security.

13. Limits and disputes

To the fullest extent North Carolina law allows, the Shop and the Platform are not liable for indirect or consequential losses (such as lost time, rental of a replacement vehicle, or lost income), and the Platform is not liable for the Shop's premises, equipment or staff. Nothing here limits a liability that the law does not let us limit, or any right you have under North Carolina consumer protection law. North Carolina law applies; claims go to the courts of Pitt County, North Carolina.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. Changes apply to bookings made after the update. We send notices to the email address on your account, and we will tell you when the Waiver changes and ask you to sign again.
