Essential Rental Requirements

Essential Rental Requirements

To maintain the quality and safety of our fleet, all renters must meet the following criteria at the time of pickup:

  • Age Requirement: You must be at least 21 years of age.
  • Valid Driver’s License: A current, valid Indiana Driver’s License is required. If you have recently moved to the area and have an out-of-state license, we require two proofs of Indiana residency (such as utility bills from the last 60 days).
  • Proof of Insurance: You must provide a valid insurance card or declaration page showing current Full Coverage (Comprehensive and Collision) that transfers to a rental vehicle.
  • Form of Payment: We require a major credit card in the primary renter’s name. A security deposit will be authorized at the time of pickup and released once the vehicle is returned in its original condition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nissan Car Rentals in Indiana

Can I take the rental vehicle out of state?

Yes. Our rentals are permitted to travel anywhere within the Continental United States. However, travel outside of the U.S. (including Canada and Mexico) is strictly prohibited.

What is the fuel policy?

We operate on a "Full-to-Full" basis. Your rental will have a full tank of gas at pickup, and we ask that you return it with a full tank to avoid refueling surcharges.

Are pets or smoking allowed?

To ensure an allergy-free and pristine environment for all our guests in Carmel and Noblesville, all Ed Martin Nissan rentals are 100% Smoke-Free and Pet-Free. Evidence of smoking or pets will result in a professional cleaning fee of $250.

Is there a mileage limit for my rental?

We offer unlimited mileage for travel within the state of Indiana. If you plan on taking the vehicle on a long-distance road trip outside the state, please let our team know during the reservation process so we can provide you with the best rate and mileage plan for your journey.

What happens if I return the car late?

We allow a 30-minute grace period. Beyond that, a late fee plus an additional day's rental rate will apply. If you know you'll be late, please contact our Fishers rental desk as soon as possible so we can adjust our schedule for the next guest.

Do you offer after-hours drop-off?

Yes. You may return your vehicle after hours by parking it in our designated rental return spaces and placing the keys in the secure drop-box located at our Britton Park Rd service entrance. We recommend taking photos of the vehicle at the time of drop-off for your records.

What if I need to extend my rental while my car is in the Service Center?

We make it easy. If your vehicle is being repaired at Ed Martin Nissan, we can automatically extend your rental to match your service timeline. Simply call our rental coordinator, and we will update your contract over the phone.

What is the difference in deposit if I use a Debit Card vs. a Credit Card?

A major credit card is preferred and typically requires a standard $250–$300 authorization hold. If using a bank-issued debit card, a higher deposit may be required, and the funds may take 5–10 business days to be released by your bank after the vehicle is returned.

How do tolls work on Indiana toll roads?

Our vehicles are not equipped with permanent transponders. Renters are responsible for all toll charges, parking tickets, and traffic violations. We recommend using your own portable transponder or paying tolls online to avoid administrative fees.

Can I rent a specific technology, like ProPILOT Assist?

Absolutely! Unlike national chains where you rent a "class" of car, we allow you to reserve specific models. If you want to experience Nissan Intelligent Mobility features like ProPILOT Assist or Safety Shield® 360, just let us know when booking.

Can I add my spouse as an additional driver?

Yes. At Ed Martin Nissan, spouses with a valid driver's license and matching insurance coverage can be added to the rental agreement at no additional daily charge.
