Jet ski & PWC rental

Jet Ski Rental Agreement and Invoice Template (Free)

Short answer

A PWC rental needs two documents: an agreement stating fuel policy, late fees, and damage responsibility with a card on file, and a closing invoice that bills the rental plus anything that happened. Copy both templates below, or use software that keeps the card on file and turns the return into an itemized invoice.

The photo habit

Before, after, and the fuel gauge — every single rental.

Thirty seconds of photos is all it takes to turn “you scratched it” into an itemized, documented line on the invoice nobody’s going to argue with.

Skipping the copy-paste

Software that holds the card on file and builds the closing invoice from your saved fee list handles both documents so you’re not re-typing the same terms at the dock every time.

Frequently asked questions

What has to be in a PWC rental agreement?

Renter and operator details, the craft, rental window, fuel policy, late-return fee, damage responsibility with the card-on-file authorization, and required safety equipment. Everything you might need to bill later has to be named before they launch.

How do I bill damage after the return?

Photograph the hull before and after, itemize the repair on the closing invoice, and charge the card on file. A documented line item is what holds up if the charge is disputed.

Should the agreement and the invoice be the same document?

No. The agreement is signed before launch and sets the terms; the invoice is issued after the return and bills what actually happened. Merging them means you're billing for outcomes nobody agreed to yet.
