Abstract

A method for completing a rental agreement online and bypassing a rental counter includes entering reservation-related information and rental-related information for an item or service, such as a vehicle rental service. The entering step enters the rental-related information (86, 88) without employing a master rental agreement, such as a user's master agreement with a vehicle rental club. Alternatively, the entering steps enters at least some of the renral-related information from the master rental agreement and allows modifications (118) of the information from the master rental agreement for renal of the item or service without modifying the master rental agreement. A reservation for the item or service is provided based at least in part upon the reservation-related information. A rental proposal is created and displayed based upon information provided. The rental proposal is accepted online, and the rental agreement, is displayed (142). The rental couter is bypassed before obtaining the item or service for rental.
