A biohazard car is a vehicle with blood, vomit, urine, feces or other hazardous material inside. It may look only stained, but the fluids can soak into foam and carpet and keep spreading odor and germs.
It depends on the vehicle, the amount of contamination and how much has to be removed. A single stained seat is a shorter job than a cabin with fluids on many surfaces. Odor treatment can add time.
A rental company or fleet owner may handle cleaning through its own insurer or its own account. Ask the rental company or fleet manager who to call before you book work. The vehicle owner usually decides who is hired.
