Rental Policies

A valid credit card number is required for all reservations. Every reservation must be paid in full at time of booking. A credit card imprint (Visa or Mastercard) will be taken on arrival and is required for all rentals as a security deposit. If no credit card is available, a $500 deposit (cash or debit) is required.

Pickups and returns are within office/store hours.

A cancellation fee of $20.00 per boat will apply per no show or cancelled reservation.

Customers are responsible for any and all damages incurred beyond normal wear and tear.

Damages will be noted at time of return and charged a minimum of $100 until full assessment is made.

We reserve the right to refuse rental if we feel that you are not prepared to use our equipment safely.

Waiver of Liability

Every customer must complete and sign a rental agreement and a waiver and release of liability form upon arrival and by doing so acknowledges that canoeing and kayaking involves inherent risks. The Haliburton Highlands Water Trails assumes no responsibility for your safety or loss of personal equipment as a result of any rental agreement. It is the responsibility of the customer to know their paddling skills and limitations. Instruction in the use of the PFD is available from staff.
