Child Restraints Policy

The safety of our customers is of the utmost importance to Apollo. Therefore we have developed a best practice approach to Child Restraints. We aim for the best safety (not just recommended levels) for our clients' children.

Below is a table which indicates the type and number of Child Restraints that can be fitted to our United States vehicles.

Clients can rent Child Restraints (must be pre-booked) from Apollo for USD 40 per rental. It is the client’s responsibility to fit them (our branch staff are legally unable to fit them or advise on how they should be fitted) to the vehicle and we recommend the following guidelines below.

United States: http://www.dmv.org/how-to-guides/install-child-seat.php

Child Restraints from overseas will not conform to the standards required in the United States. We therefore strongly recommend overseas renters not to bring their own Child Seats as they will not be allowed to use them in Apollo vehicles.

For rentals in the United States we advise that clients should travel to and from our branches via taxi.

We hope that by providing this information you can give your clients definitive answers on this topic. As mentioned above our policy has been formulated to give your clients the best protection possible.
