CDW is insurance, is optional, and may duplicate other coverage that you have. If you purchase CDW, we waive your responsibility for portion of “ultimate net loss,” in excess of the “minimum financial responsibility liability limits,” to which this coverage applies, provided that:
If CDW is declined, and you have complied with all terms and conditions on this agreement, your responsibility for loss of or damage to the Vehicle or its accessories is limited to a maximum of $1500BDS and in the case you being under the age of 25 or having been the holder of a full driver’s license for less than 2 years, there is an additional $2000BDS.
Only the following are “insureds” under this excess policy:
Regardless of the number of “insureds”, “rental Agreements”, premiums paid, claims made or vehicles involved in the “accident”, for each “rental Agreement” the most we will pay for the “ultimate net loss” resulting from any one “accident,” is the difference between the dollar amount shown in the Declarations and the “minimum financial responsibility liability limits.”
We will not waive your responsibility, even though you purchased CDW, if you provide us false or fraudulent or misleading information prior to the rental or during the rental, and we would have not rented you the Vehicle or extended the rental period, if we were given untrue information; or if you fail to notify the police or us of an accident, theft or vandalism involving the Vehicle, or if damage to or loss of the Vehicle is the result of prohibited use, including damage or loss that: (a) is caused by anyone who is not an Authorized Driver; (b) is caused by anyone under the use of a drug or alcohol; (c) occurs if the Vehicle is used during the commission of a crime, other than a minor traffic violation; (d) occurs while carrying persons or property for hire, while pushing or towing anything, during a race, speed test or contest, or while teaching anyone to drive; (e) results from carrying dangerous, hazardous, or illegal material; (f) is caused from driving on unpaved roads; (h) occurs while transporting more persons than the Vehicle has seat belts, while carrying persons outside the passenger compartment, or while carrying children without approved child safety seats as required by law; (i) occurs when the Vehicle’s fluids are low, or it is otherwise reasonable to expect you to know that further operation could damage the Vehicle; (j) is caused by carrying anything on the roof, trunk or hood of the Vehicle, or by inadequately secured cargo inside the Vehicle, or by an animal transported in the Vehicle; (k) results from your willful, wanton or reckless act or misconduct; (l) results from driving or operating the Vehicle while using a hand-held wireless communication device, or other devices capable of receiving or transmitting telephone communications, electronic data, mail or text messages while not in a hands-free mode. In the event of loss due to theft of the Vehicle, we will not waive your responsibility for the loss unless you return to us the Vehicle keys or ignition devices we gave you at the time of rental.
We provide auto liability insurance (the “Policy”) that is excess to any other valid and collectible insurance whether primary, secondary, excess or contingent. The Policy provides bodily injury and property damage liability coverage with limits no higher than minimum levels prescribed by the financial responsibility laws of Barbados. Coverage under the Policy is void if you violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement or you fail to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by our insurer or us. Giving the Vehicle to an unauthorized driver terminates any insurance coverage. You grant us a limited power of attorney to present claims to your insurance carrier for damage to or loss of the Vehicle that occurs while you are responsible for the Vehicle.
You release us, our agents and employees from all claims for loss of or damage to your personal property, including digital date or information from any mobile device that you link to any telematics device or system in the Vehicle, or that of any other person, that we receive, handled in store, or that was left or carried in or on the Vehicle or in any service vehicle or in our offices, whether or not the loss or damage unless caused by our negligence or was other our responsibility.
The acts listed in Paragraph 6c. are prohibited uses of the Vehicle and breaches of this Agreement. YOU WILL BREACH THIS AGREEMENT IF YOU ALLOW ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE RENTER OR AUTHORIZED DRIVER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. IF AN UNAUTHORIZED DRIVER DAMAGES THE VEHICLE OR CAUSES INJURIES TO OTHERS, WE WILL HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE. You waive all recourse against us for any criminal reports or prosecutions taken against you by law enforcement arising out of breach of the Agreement.
