Car rental agreements between individuals, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs

Car rental agreement between individuals

The most preferred process for managing cars is leasing, and it can be purchased for a smaller amount than the large amount of money required to purchase a car as a whole. In addition, sometimes a car may not be needed, and there is always no parking space. This is where organizations that provide technical equipment for rent help.

Why do you need a vehicle rental agreement?

You can only transfer a vehicle to an authorized person if you have a power of attorney. This documentation is issued by the owner of the technical device and can only be signed by him. And only thanks to this option, the owner may find himself in the following problematic situations:

Fines are usually recorded by cameras. Their work is carried out automatically, so the receipt comes to the name of the owner, and only he must pay directly.
Of course, there is an option where the trusted person himself can discuss with the traffic police that the car currently belongs to him, that is, he often uses the vehicle. But sometimes a trusted person refuses to go to the traffic police for some reason.
As soon as the fine exceeds 10 thousand rubles, the owner of the car may find himself without a driver’s license and only because of accumulated debts.
If a trusted person disappears during an accident, it is the owner of the car who may lose his rights.
Repairing a vehicle after an accident is the responsibility of the owner. But there are times when the owner of the vehicle proves his innocence. And yet here you will have to try and be nervous.
If a trusted person is caught under the influence of alcohol, and without a license, the owner of the vehicle will be punished for directly transferring control. In this case, the fine is imposed from 30 thousand rubles. The driver is also deprived of his driver's license for up to a couple of years. If a drunk driver gets into an accident, then it is the owner who pays for the damage to the other car.
When a vehicle is driven by a trusted person, important technical components may be damaged. For example, after driving tens of thousands of kilometers, the engine usually breaks down, this is another additional waste of money.

Car rental agreement between an individual and an organization (legal entity)

But a power of attorney has many disadvantages, which is why many choose to rent a car. It will only take a few minutes to draw up a contract, but you will be confident that the car will be in good condition. The correctness of filling out the contract can be seen in the proposed sample.

Truck rental agreement between legal entities

In addition to renting a regular car, you can rent a truck. In addition, you can earn money on it endlessly and pay your rent on time. This is the only convenient process that can make everyone's life easier in the future.

Drawing up a lease agreement between an individual and an individual entrepreneur

Any drawing up of an agreement for the rental of technical equipment between individuals and an individual entrepreneur is carried out in writing. In our article you can look at a ready-made contract form, but if possible, you can write the contract yourself. In addition, you have the right to remove some items that you may not like, and you can also add additional information on your personal requirements.

Car rental agreement between individual entrepreneur and individual entrepreneur

In any agreement, regardless of the representatives of the parties, it will be necessary to indicate the following:

The total cost of the car. This amount can be chosen jointly when filling out the agreement.
The main period for a certain time of transfer of technical equipment. The renter bears all responsibility for transport.
Purpose of payment for rent, as well as accuracy regarding changes in payments.
The tenant's need for expenses related to vehicles. In addition, we may be talking about paying a fine for damage in an accident, during repair work on the car for the entire rental period. All of the above stages will have to be carried out at the expense of the tenant.

Due to this, a stipulated agreement differs from a power of attorney, which must be signed by both parties. You must immediately draw up an act for issuing a car for rent.

All the basic requirements for the owner of the vehicle will help to avoid any negative consequences. For example, if a fine is received in the name of the owner, then he contacts the traffic police department with an agreement, as well as an acceptance certificate, where he will have to prove that he did not use the transport at the moment.

Car rental agreement between legal entities - sample

Types of transport rental agreements between legal entities

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for two types of car rental agreements between legal entities: with and without a crew. The general requirements for concluding such contracts are contained in paragraph 1 of Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Special requirements for renting a car with a crew are set out in Section 1, Paragraph 3, Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, and without a crew - in Section 2, Paragraph 3, Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Renting a car with a crew is also called chartering for a time, which follows from the provisions of paragraph 1 of Art. 632 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

By virtue of a car rental agreement from a legal entity, the lessor transfers the car to the lessee for a period of time, and also provides services for the technical operation and management of the car. The tenant, in turn, pays for the rent and services of the lessor, for which he receives the right to use and own the vehicle (hereinafter also referred to as the vehicle).

The main difference between the bareboat lease agreement due to clause 1 of Art. 642 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is a reduced scope of obligations of the lessor, who does not provide services for the technical operation of the car and its management. However, the tenant remains obligated to pay rent.

Related agreements that must be distinguished from vehicle lease agreements

The Civil Code of the Russian Federation also provides for contracts for the carriage of cargo or passengers (Chapter 40 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), which must be distinguished from vehicle rental transactions. By virtue of paragraph 1 of Art. 785 and paragraph 1 of Art. 786 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, under contracts of carriage, the carrier must deliver cargo or passengers to the destination for a fee. Accordingly, passengers or shippers do not receive a vehicle for temporary possession, but can only use it (get to their destination or transfer cargo for delivery from point A to point B).

A car rental agreement should not be confused with a rental agreement (paragraph 2 of Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). This contract is also a type of rental agreement, however, the lessor in this case is a person who is engaged in permanent business activities in the rental industry, and the car, as a general rule, is transferred for consumer purposes.

In addition, the rental agreement is a public contract, that is, the lessor must conclude it with anyone on terms common to all consumers. Sublease of transport in such a transaction, unlike a lease agreement, is prohibited.

Features of a transport rental agreement between legal entities

Chapter 34 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and the norms of other legislative acts do not include provisions that fix any specific features of concluding vehicle lease agreements depending on the subject composition of the transaction. There is also no prohibition on concluding a vehicle rental agreement between legal entities. Accordingly, any business companies have the right to draw up a car rental agreement between themselves, both with and without a crew. The form of the agreement in both cases must be written; notarization and state registration are not required.

The text of the agreement concluded between legal entities will differ slightly from the text of the agreement between individuals. Firstly, in the header, instead of the full name of citizens, the names of organizations and persons acting on their behalf when signing the transaction (director, representative) will be indicated. Secondly, the final provisions will also be different. In addition, in a transaction between organizations it is necessary to reflect the addresses and details of the parties - legal entities, while the right to sign the contract has the entities authorized to conclude it on behalf of the organization (representative, director).

Lease agreements for a passenger car from a legal entity will differ from lease agreements for trucks only in terms of objects. Simply put, the significant difference between them will only be in the description of the characteristics and individualizing features of the vehicle.

Essential terms of the agreement

Essential terms are those provisions of the contract, without the inclusion of which in its text it will not be considered concluded. Recognition of the transaction as not concluded entails restitution, that is, a return to the situation that existed before the contract entered into force.

By virtue of paragraph 1 of Art. 432 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, an essential condition of any transaction is its subject matter, and vehicle lease agreements are no exception.

In order for the item to be agreed upon, the following must be included in the contract:

The condition that the lessor provides the lessee with a car for a period of time for a fee.
Information about what specific vehicle is being leased (indicate the make, model, state registration plate, color, VIN, etc.).
The condition that the lessor provides the services of driving a vehicle and its technical operation (for a rental agreement for a vehicle with a crew).

Other terms of the contract are not recognized as essential by law, and therefore may not be specified in the contract. However, it is recommended to stipulate in as much detail as possible all the provisions of the agreement, including the period for which it is concluded, the amount of rent and the procedure for its payment.

Differences between a time charter agreement and a bareboat charter agreement

The transactions in question are very similar, which can lead practitioners to forget to include terms that differentiate them—and this can have serious consequences down the line. Renting a car with a crew requires an indication in the contract that the lessor provides management (driving) and maintenance services for the car. The wording may be as follows: “The lessor provides the lessee with services for driving the vehicle and its technical operation.”

Technical maintenance means the implementation of all necessary measures to ensure that the car remains in a technically normal and usable state (lubrication of parts, adjustment of mechanisms, etc.).

IMPORTANT! Failure to include information in the text of the contract that the lessor provides driving services may result in the impossibility of collecting fees for driver services from the lessee in the future.

Management and technical maintenance services are part of the subject of the rental agreement for a car with a crew, its essential conditions. Accordingly, failure to indicate such conditions will entail recognition of a temporary charter agreement as a rental agreement for a vehicle without a crew (as an example, we can cite the resolution of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of the West Siberian District dated February 17, 2011 in case No. A67-5335/2010).

Determining the car rental period in the contract

The rules for determining the terms of lease agreements are established by Art. 190–194 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and are common to all contracts.

According to their provisions, the lease period can be determined:

indicating a specific date;
indicating a period of time that can be calculated in years, months, weeks, days, hours;
indicating an event that is about to occur.

It is recommended to indicate the time frame for both the start and end of the lease agreement. It is necessary to take into account that the transaction is real, that is, concluded from the moment the property is transferred to the temporary possession and use of the tenant. In this regard, practitioners are recommended to prepare a vehicle acceptance certificate and include the following wording in the contract: “The term of the lease agreement is (the time period determined by the parties) from the moment of transfer of the vehicle according to the transfer and acceptance certificate.”

If the lease period is not specified in the contract, the contract is automatically recognized as concluded for an indefinite period (clause 2 of Article 610 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

It is important to note that due to the requirements of paragraph 2 of Art. 632 and paragraph 2 of Art. 642 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the rules on the renewal of a lease agreement for an indefinite period do not apply to the types of contracts under consideration, as well as the rules on the tenant’s pre-emptive right to enter into an agreement for a new period.

Determination of conditions relating to the procedure for leasing vehicles

The conditions regarding the order in which the car is leased are recommended for agreement, but are not mandatory. However, it is worth understanding that if such conditions are not agreed upon, then due to the requirements of Art. 611 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the car must be transferred in a condition corresponding to the purpose of the car within a reasonable time from the moment the contract is signed.

In this regard, it is recommended that the document indicate:

Vehicle transfer location.
List of documents that confirm the fact of transfer (transfer and acceptance certificate, receipt, etc.).
Information about the condition of the car at the time of delivery. This condition is most relevant for a vehicle rental agreement without a crew.
Information about what additional items and accessories are supplied with the car (first aid kit, fire extinguisher, sun canopy, etc.).
List of documents that are given to the lessee along with the car (registration certificate, insurance policy, etc.).

The parties can also agree on the place of transfer of transport for rent based on the provisions of paragraph 1 of Art. 316 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. It can be either the place where the transport is stored or the place of residence of one of the parties to the transaction. The law does not contain restrictions on the choice of the territory for fulfilling the lessor’s obligations to transfer the car - accordingly, the parties, by virtue of the provisions of Art. 421 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation have complete freedom in resolving this issue.

Structure and sample of a car rental agreement from a legal entity

The legislation does not contain clear legal requirements for the structure of the contract, so practicing lawyers have a certain freedom of action when drawing up the document.

It is important to note that the content of car rental agreements with and without a crew is practically the same, and their structure is the same.

The most rational complete and consistent version of the agreement structure is as follows:

The header, that is, the introductory part, which indicates the names of the legal entities entering into the contract, information about authorized citizens acting on behalf of organizations (director, representative), and the grounds for vesting them with powers (power of attorney, charter).
Subject of the agreement.
Lease terms and contract duration.
The procedure for providing property for rent and returning it.
Rent and payment procedure.
The procedure for maintaining and improving a car.
Car operation procedure.
Transport insurance procedure.
Responsibility of the parties.
Procedure for changing and terminating the transaction.
Settlement of disputes.
Final provisions.
Addresses and details of the parties.

A sample car rental agreement between legal entities without a crew can be downloaded on our website. If necessary, it can be easily converted into a vehicle rental agreement with a crew by adding conditions for the provision of services for the management and technical operation of the vehicle in the “Subject of the agreement” section.

Thus, a vehicle rental agreement between legal entities is practically no different from a similar agreement drawn up between citizens. Thanks to the information presented in the article and the sample proposed above, it will not be difficult for practicing lawyers to prepare a legally competent document that takes into account all the nuances characteristic of transactions of this kind.

How to conclude a car rental agreement between legal entities and individual entrepreneurs?

Many companies solve the problems of cargo delivery, personnel transportation and other transportation by renting vehicles. In this case, the lessor is another legal entity or individual entrepreneur who currently does not need his own car. The basis of a car rental transaction is an agreement between legal entities. This document is drawn up in any form and does not require mandatory registration or legal certification. You can enter into a rental agreement that provides not only the provision of a car, but also the services of a driver.

Features of the agreement between legal entities

Renting a car allows a company to organize transportation, including passenger transportation, allocate a car to seconded employees, and resolve the issue of executive transport without significant costs for purchasing and maintaining a vehicle fleet. At the same time, rental costs, confirmed by documents, are taken into account in the formation of the tax base. The process of registering a lease, when the parties to the transaction are legal entities or individual entrepreneurs, begins with collecting the necessary documents:

Copies of the company's charter, to which all amendments and additions are attached. Each page must have a tax authority stamp confirming registration;
Confirmation (copy of the minutes of the meeting) of the election, appointment (copy of the order) of the general director or other person who has the right to enter into lease agreements;
A copy of the power of attorney or other document that confirms the powers of the director or other person entering into the transaction;
Documents for the car (registration certificate, registration certificate, service book, if the car is under warranty, etc.) and a copy of the title;
Details for transferring rent.

The lessor organization reflects in its financial statements the profit received from renting out a car and pays taxes on it. When forming the tax base, the costs of paying transport tax, mandatory and additional (if necessary) insurance policies are taken into account. If it is planned to rent a car with a crew, then it is the lessor who pays for the driver’s work. All other nuances of the transaction are specified in the agreement. The contents of the document depend on the type of rental: with or without a crew.

Lease agreement for hiring a car without a crew

This agreement provides for the transfer of a car to the lessee without the services of a driver. In this case, most of the expenses for repairs (including capital ones, unless otherwise provided by the clause of the agreement) are borne by the tenant. He also pays for fuel, lubricants, parking, dry cleaning, washing, etc. All payments are documented for accounting purposes. The agreement, the form of which can be downloaded from the link, states:

Details of the parties to the transaction;
Characteristics of the car (without them the contract is considered not concluded);
Rental conditions (terms, method and amount of payment);
Responsibility of the parties;
List of documents that are attached.

Additionally, restrictions may be introduced (on mileage, transportation, sublease) or other conditions for the operation of the car, and conditions for extending or early termination of the contract may be prescribed. A separate clause specifies payment and types of insurance policies. The lease agreement cannot contradict the legislative acts of the Russian Federation, and all disputes that go beyond the scope of the agreements are resolved in court.

Lease agreement for hiring a car with crew

Such a document provides for the provision of services for the management and maintenance of a rented car. In accordance with this condition, the lessor bears additional costs for paying the driver, maintaining the rented property in proper condition, paying for insurance policies and all damages that may arise due to the actions of the crew or vehicle malfunctions. The lessee, unless there are special instructions in the contract, pays for fuel and consumables. Naturally, this type of transaction differs significantly in cost and execution of the contract, the form of which can be downloaded from the link. A special clause on the management and maintenance of the leased object is included in the document. It also stipulates the requirements for the crew (driving experience, age, availability of a car license with an open category, etc.).

The lessor supervises the crew, monthly draws up and, together with the lessee, certifies an act of provision of services. The tenant has the right to demand a replacement driver if he does not meet the requirements specified in the contract. Payment for rent and services is carried out separately within the terms provided for in the relevant clause of the agreement. The contractual obligations of the parties are sealed and signed. If one of the parties acts under a power of attorney, then it must be attached to the agreement and included in the list of documents.

Conclusion

Signing a car rental agreement between legal entities provides for the transfer of the car to the lessee (rent without a crew), and it is additionally possible to provide services for the operation of the car (rent with a crew). The lease agreement is drawn up in any form in 2 copies, certified by the signatures or seals of the companies. Income from the rental of property is taken into account when forming the tax base of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur.

Car rental agreement: key points in 2019

Car rental agreements are not popular in our country. However, in a number of cases, it is renting, rather than buying and selling, that seems to be the most profitable option. What kind of cases could these be? Let's say you are going on a trip abroad and want to have personal transport. Or: in honor of some celebration you need several cars at once. Another situation: you urgently need a car to carry out business activities, but the available funds are not enough to purchase it. A lease agreement will come to the rescue.

What is a car rental agreement between individuals?

Under a car rental agreement, the lessor transfers the car to the lessee for temporary possession and use for a certain fee. Let's take a closer look.

A car rental agreement is concluded between two individuals, one of whom acquires the status of a lessee, and the other - a lessor. The lessor is the owner (usually) of the vehicle. He does not need to use his car, but wants to get some benefit from having it. The renter, on the contrary, really needs the car for the purpose of its direct use.

Based on the lease agreement, the rights of ownership and use are transferred from the owner of the car to the lessee. We can talk about ownership, for example, if the car is in the garage of a specific person, provided that he also has the keys to this car and all the necessary documents. Use involves obtaining a certain benefit from the property. Since the car is designed to transport people and goods, its use consists of direct operation related to road traffic.

The lessee must pay the owner a certain amount of money for the use of the car. Please note: there is an agreement that is very similar in essence to a lease, but does not require payment. This is a free use agreement. If you have the opportunity to get a car for free use, you need to draw up the second of these agreements.

The main responsibilities of the parties form the understanding of the car rental agreement. The lessor, in accordance with the agreement, performs the following actions:

transfers the car to the lessee;
ensures that the vehicle is in good condition (prior to handing over to the lessee).

The tenant, in turn, performs the following responsibilities:

makes lease payments on time;
returns the car at the end of the rental period in the same condition in which he received it, but taking into account normal wear and tear. Directly in the contract, you can fix a provision on the required condition of the car when it is returned to the owner.

Thus, under a lease agreement, the owner, who is not interested in using his vehicle, transfers the right to use it to the lessee. This action is carried out on a reimbursable basis and is limited in time.

Types of car rental agreement

The most common types of vehicle rental agreements in our country are car rental agreements with and without a crew. Next, let's look at each of them in more detail.

Car with crew

Under a car rental agreement with a crew, the owner not only transfers the car to the lessee, but also provides him with certain services as an addition. They are related to driving a vehicle and its technical content. As a rule, these actions are carried out not by the lessor himself, but by his subordinate employees.

Responsibilities under such an agreement are distributed somewhat differently than in the standard scheme. The bulk of them falls on the lessor, who, in addition to his main responsibilities, performs the following actions:

keeps the car in good condition. This requires both routine and major car repairs. Overhaul involves the restoration of those structural parts of the vehicle, without which its use for transportation becomes impossible. Current repairs mean the elimination of less significant defects that in one way or another impede the use of the property;
provides services for vehicle management and technical operation. They must meet safety criteria. Crew members are required to have appropriate qualifications;
pays for the work of crew members (i.e. the work of the driver). It should be taken into account that for the tenant the corresponding amounts are included in the rent;
carries out insurance of the vehicle at its own expense, as well as civil liability insurance for damage that may be caused to third parties during its operation.

The tenant is additionally responsible only for the costs of commercial operation (for example, payment for fuel). Such operation of the vehicle is carried out in the course of business activities (transportation).

In case of damage or destruction of the car, the renter is responsible. He is obliged to compensate the owner of the car for all losses incurred in such a situation. But to do this, the latter must prove that the car was damaged due to the fault of the lessee or due to other circumstances that are specifically stipulated in the contract (for example, spontaneous combustion of flammable cargo).

Car without crew

When concluding a rental agreement for a car without a crew, the tenant must understand that he will have to do almost everything on his own: both drive the car and carry out its maintenance. After all, this transaction does not oblige the property owner to provide additional services. His role here is to provide the car, and most of the responsibilities are transferred to the shoulders of the renter.

Thus, the tenant under this agreement is obliged to:

maintaining the rented car in good condition (this also includes actions related to current and major repairs);
independent driving;
its maintenance;
expenses for the following purposes:

Car maintenance.
Car insurance and liability insurance.
Operating costs.

The tenant can also use the services of third parties to drive the car. The main thing is that the lessor does not act as such a third party.

What documents are needed to draw up a car rental agreement in 2019?

To draw up a car rental agreement between individuals, the following documents will be required:

Citizen's identity document (passport). Both the landlord and the tenant are required to provide this document. If one of them (most often the tenant) is a foreign citizen, he provides a passport of a foreign citizen. The identity of a stateless person is also certified by a temporary residence permit in the Russian Federation or a residence permit.
A driver's license of the appropriate category, for foreign citizens - an international driver's license. This document is provided by the tenant when concluding a car rental agreement without a crew.
Vehicle registration certificate.
Technical passport of the vehicle.

The last two documents are necessary in order to individualize the car when drawing up a contract.

Conditions of the car rental agreement

When concluding a car rental agreement, you need to take into account many nuances. Let's take a closer look at what conditions it should contain. Let us note the key points that require special attention of the parties.

Mandatory terms of the contract

The only condition that must be agreed upon is the subject of the lease. It is a specific car that is transferred to the lessee.

When concluding a transaction, you need to describe the characteristics of the vehicle in sufficient detail to distinguish it from many others. Please indicate:

brand;
model;
color;
state registration number;
an identification number;
body number;
chassis number.

Additional terms of the agreement

Many other points can be regulated in the contract. However, their presence is not necessary: the law has general rules that apply to everyone.

Additional terms of the agreement include the following:

Rental period. There are no restrictions on the duration of car rental in the law. It can be arranged for a period convenient for the parties. If the term is not specified in the contract, then the parties are considered to have entered into it for an indefinite period. The agreement will be valid until the owner or lessor wishes to terminate it. The counterparty must be notified of this news at least one month in advance.

Rent. When concluding a transaction, you need to establish the form, timing and procedure for making rental payments. It is not only money that is considered as such. Other forms of payment are possible, namely:

part of the profit from using the car;
provision of services;
transfer of any thing into ownership or lease;
expenses for repair work.

Providing a car and returning it. Here it is necessary to determine the period of transfer and the condition of the transferred vehicle. The tenant also receives accessories (keys, for example) and documents for it. To avoid misunderstandings, you need to make a detailed list of such things and secure it in the contract.

If the tenant violates the deadline for returning the car, the owner of the car is due a rental payment and compensated for losses.

Insurance. The owner and renter can share the costs of car insurance. If the agreement is silent on this matter, it means that these persons are satisfied with the general procedure. This procedure is established by the legislator:

under a rental agreement for a car with crew, insurance is provided by the lessor;
Under a car rental agreement without a crew, expenses are borne by the lessee.

Buying a car. If the tenant is interested in the prospect of subsequent purchase of the car, then he is given the opportunity to agree in advance with the owner on the purchase. The parties need to indicate the redemption price. Rental payments may also be counted towards it. After full payment, the renter becomes the full owner of the car.

What should you pay special attention to when concluding a contract?

Form of agreement. Car rental must be formalized in writing. It doesn’t matter how long you sign it for, or what the size of the rental payments is. There is no need to register the agreement anywhere. Certification by a notary is also optional. You can do this if you doubt the counterparty.

Renewal of the contract. The contract is not automatically renewed when it expires. When executing a new transaction, the previous tenant does not have any advantages over other candidates.

Sublease. The lessee has the right to sublease the car to third parties. This does not require the owner's permission. If he wants to exclude the possibility of transferring the car to third parties, the contract must establish a corresponding prohibition.

Liability for causing harm. Under a rental agreement for a car with a crew, the lessor is responsible for damage caused to other persons while using the car. If the car is rented without a crew, on the contrary, all losses are reimbursed by the lessee.

Transport tax. The lessee is not required to pay tax on the leased vehicle. Contractual establishment of a different rule is not permitted.

Conclusion

There are many subtleties involved in concluding a car rental agreement. Competent legal registration of this transaction is very important.

To obtain real benefits and avoid losses, the contract must regulate the rights and obligations of the parties in a sufficiently detailed manner.
