If checkout occurs after 11:00am without requesting the add-on, we charge a $50 late fee per hour.

There is a copy of the vehicle registration and insurance in a black bifold case in the glove compartment.
You will be charged for any tolls charged on the Good to Go Pass during your stay.
You can park your Cabana anywhere it is legal to park. A Cabana van is only a few inches longer than an average full-size SUV and can fit in any uncovered parking space made for larger passenger vehicles.
