Who We Are
Who We Are

Who We Are

Tread Rentals started with a hands-on approach and a simple frustration: renting a car shouldn't feel impersonal or unpredictable.

There's something freeing about getting out on the open road — heading somewhere new, or just having the flexibility to move on your own terms. At Tread Rentals, we consider it a privilege to be part of that experience, even in a small way. We take that seriously.

We built this company to offer something different — well-maintained vehicles, clear expectations, and direct communication with the people who actually own and manage the fleet. No middlemen, no guesswork. If something comes up, you're talking to us directly.

We focus on vehicles that make sense for how people travel today — efficient, comfortable, and reliable. Whether you're here for work, visiting family, or just need a solid car while yours is in the shop, we want the experience to feel easy from start to finish.

Our goal is straightforward: deliver a rental experience that feels easy, honest, and worth coming back to.

Tread Rentals — Birmingham, Alabama
Before You Book

Rental Requirements

A few things we need from every renter to keep things simple and safe for everyone.

A Valid Driver's License

U.S. and international driver's licenses are both accepted. Your license must be provided and verified before any rental is confirmed.

Full Coverage Insurance

You'll need your own full coverage insurance that extends to the rental, or you can purchase trip protection through us. Liability-only policies aren't accepted.

Minimum Age: 21+

Renters must be 21 or older. Drivers between 21 and 24 are welcome, but will incur an additional young-driver fee at checkout.

Tread Rentals — Birmingham, Alabama
Before You Book

Rental Policies

The details behind our requirements — mileage, coverage area, and who can rent.

No Mileage Restrictions

Your trip isn't capped at a flat number of miles. Your daily allowance carries across your full rental — the longer you book, the more miles you have to work with.

No State Restrictions

Take the car wherever your trip takes you. We don't confine travel to Alabama — cross state lines freely for the length of your rental.

Standard vehicles include 250 miles per day. Specialty and luxury vehicles include 200 miles per day, reflecting their higher cost to maintain.

Every renter needs full coverage insurance that extends to the rental vehicle, or trip protection purchased through us at checkout. Liability-only policies aren't accepted.

Renters must be 21 or older. Drivers between 21 and 24 are welcome, but will incur an additional young-driver fee at checkout.

We accept all major credit cards. Cards must be in the renter's own name.*** Please have your PIN code ready for processing a credit card with a chip. A $200 refundable deposit applies on top of the rental.

For national customers only: if using a debit card, please send an email with your insurance information three days ahead of the reservation so it can be verified.

***Personal checks, prepaid cards, and cash are not allowed as a form of deposit.

***Prepaid, recharge, or virtual debit/credit cards, or any card on which the relevant characters are not raised ("embossed"), or that does not have an EMV chip, are not accepted as a form of deposit or payment.

We accept: Visa · Mastercard · Diners Club · American Express · JCB · UnionPay · Discover · Venmo · Zelle · Cash App

Please bring a valid driver's license, credit card, and reservation confirmation to complete your rental agreement and pick up your car. We will also require your home address, phone number, auto insurance information, and email address. Our rental agent will go over your rental agreement and answer any questions you may have. After you sign the contract, you'll receive your keys and your rental car.

All cars will have a full tank of gas when they are rented. Please return your car with a full tank of gas. If a car is returned with less than a full tank, a service charge and an above-market rate will be charged for filling up the tank.

Please let us know if you left something behind. Sunglasses, phones, and other accessories are easy to miss when turning in your rental car, so make sure you have all of your belongings before you return your rental car and keys.

In the event an accident occurs involving your rental car, please notify the police, emergency services, and Tread Rentals.

1. Immediately report the accident to the police. We recommend you carry a mobile phone in case of emergency. If you're involved in an accident, please call 911 for assistance. Calling from a mobile phone lets you stay at the scene and discourages the other party from leaving before police arrive. If you don't have a mobile phone, call 911 from a nearby public or pay phone. If possible, have someone stay at the scene until emergency services arrive.

2. Contact Tread Rentals. After you've contacted the police, please call us to report the accident, and we'll arrange for an agent to speak with the police or other involved parties if necessary.

3. Answer the police officer's questions about the accident. When police arrive, follow their instructions. They'll ask for your driver's license and rental contract, and will take statements from all drivers involved to determine if a police report is necessary. If a police report is issued, please bring a copy with you when you return your rental car.

All parking violations must be paid in full by the renter; otherwise, a $40 handling fee per ticket will be charged in addition to the ticket fines. Renters are also responsible for any toll charges incurred during the rental period.

Our rental fees do not include roadside assistance. Incidents such as flat tires or locking keys in the car are the responsibility of the customer. If you'd like a Tread Rentals agent dispatched to your location (limited to the extent possible), you will be charged.
