Last Updated: 10 October 2025
1. Policy Overview
Happy Cony LLC (Company, we, us, or our) seeks to provide fair and transparent refund and
cancellation practices for customers who reserve and rent vehicles through our website
(https://conycarrental.com) or via our authorized partners. This Refund & Cancellation Policy (Policy) explains
the circumstances under which refunds or credits may be issued, the process you must follow to request a
refund, applicable fees, required documentation, and the Company’s rights and remedies. This Policy is
governed by U.S. federal law and the laws of the State of Hawaii.
Important: All bookings are contracts between the Customer and Happy Cony LLC. Third-party
bookings (booked via affiliates, marketplaces, or resellers) are subject to the third party’s refund policies in
addition to this Policy. Happy Cony LLC is not responsible for third-party merchant policies beyond the
refunds we directly control.
2. Definitions
– Booking – a confirmed reservation for a vehicle made through our Website or authorized partner.
– Pickup Time – the scheduled date and time when the Customer will take possession of the Vehicle.
– No-Show – failure to pick up the Vehicle within the grace period without prior written or telephonic notice to
Company.
– Deposit – an authorization hold or charge placed on the Customer’s payment method to secure the Booking
and cover potential damages, fines, or fees.
– Refundable Amount – amount eligible to be returned to the Customer after deductions for applicable fees,
damage charges, or other valid charges.
3. Cancellation by Customer – Standard Rules
1. Free Cancellation Window: Customers may cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the Pickup Time
for a full refund of amounts paid to Happy Cony LLC (excluding any non-refundable fees expressly
communicated at time of booking).
2. Late Cancellation: Cancellations received within 24 hours of Pickup Time are subject to a Late
Cancellation Fee equal to one (1) day’s rental or the stated minimum rental charge, whichever is greater.
3. No-Show: A No-Show shall result in forfeiture of the Rental Charge and any applicable prepayments; the
Booking will be cancelled after the grace period (generally two (2) hours from scheduled Pickup Time) unless
the Customer provides prior notice and Company accepts the late arrival in writing.
4. How to Cancel: Cancellations must be submitted via the cancellation form on your booking confirmation
page, by emailing billing@conycarrental.com, or by calling our Billing Department at +1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX.
Verbal notices must be followed by written confirmation via email. The cancellation request time is the time
received by Company.
4. Changes & Modifications by Customer
– Changes to Pickup Time, Return Time, Vehicle Category, or Location are subject to availability and may
incur change fees and/or rate adjustments.
– If a change results in a lower total rental charge, an adjustment (refund or credit) will be processed after
deducting any change fees, subject to our final inspection and reconciliation.
– If a change results in a higher charge, the Customer must pay the rate differential prior to the modified
Pickup Time.
5. Company-Initiated Cancellations
1. Non-Availability / Operational Issues: If we must cancel a Booking due to vehicle unavailability,
maintenance, or other operational reasons, we will notify the Customer as soon as practicable and will:
– Offer an equivalent replacement vehicle at no additional charge where available; or
– If a replacement is not available or acceptable, provide a full refund of all amounts paid to Cony Car Rentals
LLC for that Booking.
2. Fraud / Non-Compliance: If a Booking is cancelled due to suspected fraud, failed identity verification, or
non-compliance with rental eligibility (age, license, or payment method), the Company may cancel the
Booking and withhold refunds to the extent permitted by law. The Customer will be notified and given an
opportunity to provide corrective documentation within a reasonable time frame.
6. Refund Processing – Timing & Method
– Method: Refunds will be returned to the original payment method used at the time of Booking unless
otherwise agreed in writing.
– Timing: Once a refund is approved, the Company processes refunds promptly; however, banks/issuers may
take 5-15 business days to reflect the refund on the Customer’s statements.
– Partial Refunds: Where applicable (e.g., deductions for damages, tolls, administrative fees), the Customer
will be provided an itemized explanation and receipt of charges.
– Refund Holds: The Company may place a temporary hold on refunds while an investigation or damage
assessment is in progress. The hold will not exceed a commercially reasonable timeframe, and the Customer
will be notified.
7. Damage, Toll, Violation, & Administrative Charges
– Deductions from the Deposit or direct charges to the Customer may include: costs to repair Vehicle
damage, cleaning fees, lost-key or replacement costs, tolls, parking fines, traffic citations, and administrative
processing fees.
– For any such charge, Company will provide supporting documentation (repair estimates, photos, citations)
and an itemized invoice. Customers have 14 days from receipt of notification to dispute or provide clarifying
information; disputes will be investigated in good faith.
8. Force Majeure, Safety & Unforeseen Events
– In events beyond Company’s control (natural disaster, acts of government, civil unrest, epidemics, severe
weather), Company may modify or cancel Bookings. Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to
offer an alternative, credit, or refund, but is not liable for consequential losses.
– For safety reasons, Company may cancel or suspend bookings if continuing the rental poses risk to person
or property; applicable refunds or credits will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
9. Third-Party Bookings & Partners
– Bookings made through third-party platforms, travel agents, or affiliates are subject to both the third party’s
refund policy and this Policy. Happy Cony LLC may be limited in its ability to issue refunds for third-party
transactions; Customers must follow the refund procedures of the platform used to book. Cony will cooperate
with partners to achieve fair resolution.
10. Dispute Resolution & Chargebacks
– Customers should first contact the Company’s Billing Department for any refund concerns. If unresolved, the
Customer may escalate per the contact details below.
– In the case of a chargeback initiated by a Customer with their card issuer, Company reserves the right to
defend the chargeback by submitting evidence of services rendered (signed rental agreement, inspection
photos, timestamps, proof of communication). Customers acknowledge that unjustified chargebacks may
result in additional fees and potential restriction from future bookings.
– Any dispute not resolved amicably shall be governed by the laws of the State of Hawaii, and the parties
agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Honolulu County, Hawaii, unless otherwise
mutually agreed to arbitration in Hawaii.
11. Evidence & Documentation Required for Refunds
To expedite a refund review, Customers should provide (where applicable):
– Booking confirmation and booking ID;
– Proof of payment (card statement screenshot or receipt);
– Photos or documentation supporting any claim (vehicle condition, timing, correspondence);

Company may also rely on internal records (GPS logs, booking timestamps, inspection photos, agent call
recordings) as evidence.
12. Administrative & Processing Fees

handling, late cancellations, lost-key processing, or extensive dispute resolution (as disclosed at booking).
These fees will be disclosed in advance where practicable.
13. Credits & Vouchers
– At Company discretion, refunds may be issued as rental credits or vouchers instead of cash refunds; credits
are valid for redemption for the period specified on the credit (normally 12 months) and are non-transferable
unless expressly allowed.
14. Limitation of Liability; Indemnity
– To the fullest extent permitted by law, Happy Cony LLC’s liability for refunds or any claims arising out
of or relating to a Booking shall not exceed the amount actually paid by the Customer to Cony Car Rentals
LLC for that Booking.

damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from the Customer’s violation of these
Terms, misuse of the Vehicle, or improper chargeback initiation.
