What is the late/overdue rental fee structure?

• A. A flat $25 late fee after 2 hours.
• B. A $25 late fee per 2 hours.
• C. A $25 per 30-minute increment late fee, with 1-30 min = $25, 31-60 min = $50.
• D. No late fees if notified.

Answer: (C)

Late/overdue rental fees are charged in 30-minute increments. The first 30 minutes late costs $25, and every additional 30-minute block adds another $25. So 1–30 minutes late is $25, 31–60 minutes late is $50, 61–90 minutes late is $75, and so on. This keeps the fee proportional to how late the return is, ensuring predictability and fairness for both user and program. For example, if you’re 75 minutes late, the fee would be $75. Flat fees after a fixed time or waivers on notification wouldn’t match this stepwise, incremental structure.
