    **Important Updates – Temporary Permit, Boater Safety Course, and Drivers**

    At LOTO Boat Rental, we always strive to provide you with the best boating experience possible. We want to inform you about some important updates that will make your rental process smoother and more enjoyable.

    **Temporary Permit:**
    To ensure compliance with state regulations, all renters are required to obtain a Temporary Permit before operating the boat. Thankfully, the state has now contracted with a website where you can conveniently obtain the Temporary Permit online. To obtain your Temporary Permit, simply visit the website: (https://www.boat-ed.com/missourirental/). This streamlined process allows you to secure your permit quickly and easily, so you can focus on having fun on the water.

    **Boater Safety Course Exemption:**
    Previously, completing a boater safety course was a requirement. However, we have some great news! If you choose to hire a driver from our driver pool, the boater safety course requirement is waived. Our skilled drivers are knowledgeable about boating regulations and safety measures, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone on board.

    **Damage Deposit Waived:**
    Another benefit of hiring a driver from our pool is that it removes the need for a damage deposit. Our drivers are independent contractors who operate separately from the rental process. This means that you won’t have to worry about any damage deposit when using our driver service.

    **Active Military and Birth Date Exemption:**
    We continue to honor our active-duty military members, who are exempt from the Temporary Permit requirement. Simply show your active-duty military ID, and you’re all set! Additionally, anyone born prior to January 1, 1984, is also exempt from the Permit requirement.

    With these updates, we want to make your boating experience with LOTO Boat Rental as seamless as possible. So, plan your outing, grab your friends and family, and get ready for a fantastic time on the beautiful waters of Lake of the Ozarks!

    WHAT’S THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY FOR YOUR BOATS?

    **Important Passenger Limit Update:**

    At LOTO Boat Rental, safety is our top priority. We want to ensure that everyone has a fantastic time on the water while adhering to all regulations. As part of the Coast Guard Regulations, the total number of passengers on rental boats, including the driver, is strictly limited to 12, regardless of the boat’s capacity.

    **Driver Policy:**
    If you decide to hire a driver from our driver pool, please be aware that the hired driver will be counted as one of the 12 passengers allowed on the boat. Our drivers are skilled professionals who will enhance your boating experience by taking care of navigation and ensuring a safe journey for everyone on board.

    We hope these updates clarify the passenger limits and the advantages of hiring a driver from our driver pool. Your safety and enjoyment are our utmost concern, and we can’t wait to provide you with a wonderful boating experience on the beautiful waters of Lake of the Ozarks. Let’s make some fantastic memories together!
