You will be notified either by email or US mail if your request has been approved.

All Requests for insurance will only be made through our office when the car is picked up in Houston.

Costs

After you receive the Notification of Acceptance, a $100 deposit is required to place your name on the calendar to secure the reservation. Deposits not received 30 days prior to the date requested will be automatically canceled and the vehicle will be released to other missionaries.

Maintenance and Insurance:

The missionary is required to pay for their insurance and regular maintenance and repairs while using the MCF vehicle.

We do not provide roadside assistance when one of the vehicles breaks down. That is why we request frequent and regular maintenance being done. We do repairs before you pick up the vehicle. You do the repairs while it is in your possession. MCF requires that each missionary bring the car back in the same condition it was when it was picked up, with a full tank of gas and a fresh oil change.
