Loss or Damage to rental vehicle

The renter and any additional drivers are liable for any loss or damage to the rental vehicle, even if someone else caused it or the cause is unknown, whether due to theft, fire, hail, flood, collision, vandalism, or any other cause, subject to limitations imposed by the law where the vehicle is rented. This liability is usually capped at the full value of the vehicle, but can also include:

• Actual towing and storage charges;
• Loss of the operator’s ability to rent the car to others (“loss of use”);
• Diminution in value, regardless of whether the vehicle is repaired or not;
• All rental charges through the date the customer reports the incident if not returnable or the return date, whichever is later;
• Any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the operator as a result of the loss or damage to the vehicle
• Administrative fees
• Pro-rata license plate fees, all as allowed by law.
