RENTER AND AAD(s) WAIVE ALL CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE BE AVAILABLE TO RENTER OR AAD(s). SUCH DAMAGES ARE EXCLUDED AND NOT AVAILABLE TO RENTER OR AAD(s). The foregoing does not waive Renter’s and/or AAD(s)’ claims in New Jersey based upon personal injuries that result from Owner’s negligent, reckless or intentional acts, and does not release Owner from any implied warranty of fitness applicable under New Jersey law.  Renter further acknowledges that any personal data or information downloaded or transferred to Vehicle may not be secure and may be accessible after the Rental Period.

CDW does not apply to damage occurring in Mexico. In most locations, Owner offers the following two (2) levels of CDW protection:

• Maxi Waiver Saver - Owner will pay for all loss or damage to the Vehicle.

• Waiver Saver 3000 - Owner will pay the first $3,000 of loss or damage. Renter will pay for all loss or damage over $3,000.

When deciding whether or not to purchase CDW, Renter may wish to check with Renter’s  insurance representative or credit card company to determine whether, in the event of damage to, or theft of, Vehicle, Renter has coverage or protection for such damage or theft and the amount of Renter’s deductible or out-of-pocket risk.

The following actions shall invalidate CDW:

a. if vehicle is damaged when used or driven: 
(1) by any person other than Renter or AAD(s) without Owner’s prior written consent;
(2) by any person if there is reasonable evidence the driver was impaired by the use of alcohol, narcotics, intoxicants, or drugs, used with or without a prescription;
(3) by any person committing a felony or otherwise engaged in a criminal act;
(4) in a race or speed contest;
(5) to tow or push anything;
(6) outside of the United States or Canada;
(7) under authority of any license that is suspended, revoked, invalid or does not belong to the driver;
(8) to transport persons or property for hire;
(9) in a wanton or reckless manner or if Vehicle is deliberately damaged;
(10) on an unpaved road or off road;
(11) to transport explosives, chemicals, corrosives or other hazardous materials or pollutants of any kind; or
b. if Renter misrepresents facts to owner pertaining to rental, use, or operation of Vehicle; or
c. if Vehicle’s interior components are stolen or damaged when Vehicle is unlocked or keys are not secured; or
d. if renter fails or refuses to provide Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving Vehicle or otherwise fails to cooperate with Owner, police, or other authorities in the investigation of any accident or vandalism; or
e. if Vehicle is stolen and Renter fails to do any of the following: (1) return the original ignition key(s) and Owner’s key tag identifying Vehicle; (2) file a police report within 24 hours after discovering the theft; (3) cooperate fully with Owner, police and other authorities in all matters connected with the investigation of the theft; 4) ensure that Vehicle’s ignition is turned off at the time Vehicle is stolen.

However, the parties agree that either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court with valid jurisdiction. The parties also agree that claims involving a third party insurance company ostensibly providing coverage to Renter or any ADD or the application of Owner’s financial responsibility relating to the use or operation of Vehicle may be brought in a court with valid jurisdiction.

(4)  Governing Law and Enforcement:  The FAA applies to this Arbitration Agreement and governs whether a claim is subject to arbitration.  This Arbitration Agreement was drafted in compliance with the laws in all states, however, if any portion of it is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is found not to apply to a claim, the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement remains in full force and effect.  Except, if the class-arbitration waiver provision is deemed unenforceable, any class action claim(s) must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Before deciding whether to purchase the collision damage waiver, you may wish to determine whether your own automobile insurance affords you coverage for damage to the rental automobile and the amount of the deductible under your own insurance coverage. The purchase of this collision damage waiver is not mandatory and may be waived. Maryland law requires that all Maryland residents' insurance policies with collision coverage automatically extend that collision coverage to passenger cars rented by the insureds named in the policy for a period of 30 days or less.
You may not need the automobile insurance offered by Owner. Your automobile insurance policy may provide coverage for your liability while operating a rental vehicle. You should check the terms and conditions of your automobile insurance policy to determine if coverage is provided for the rental. The purchase of insurance is not required as a condition of renting an automobile. In addition, if you are driving the rental vehicle due to an accident or repairs, state law may require your personal automobile liability policy to provide coverage and purchase of any excess liability coverage may duplicate coverage required by law to be provided by the Owner of the rental vehicle.

If vehicle is a replacement vehicle as defined in Section 17-104 of the Maryland Transportation Code, the liability insurance coverage on the vehicle being replaced (renter’s/driver’s vehicle) is primary, and any liability coverage Owner provides on vehicle is secondary.

2) Actual and reasonable costs incurred by the rental company for towing the private passenger vehicle and for storage of the private passenger vehicle during the period before the renter notifies the rental company of the damage to the vehicle or for 14 days after the damage occurs, whichever period is shorter.

INSURANCE OR CREDIT CARD COVERAGE

Liability for any damage may be covered by your personal insurance policy or credit card agreement. Check your insurance policy or credit card agreement about coverage.

DAMAGE WAIVER COVERAGE

A damage waiver is not insurance coverage. If you purchase a damage waiver for up to $29.99 per day, we will waive our right to hold you or any authorized driver liable for damage. Even if you buy a damage waiver, you and any authorized driver will remain liable for damage if any of the following apply:
(a) The damage is caused by the renter or authorized driver intentionally or by his or her reckless or wanton misconduct.
(b) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver operates the private passenger vehicle in this state while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug, as described under s. 346.63 (1) (a), (am), or (b) or (2m).
(c) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver operates the private passenger vehicle in another state while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug, as described in the laws of that state.
(d) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver is engaged in a race or speed or endurance contest.
(e) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver is using, or has directed another to use, the private passenger vehicle in the commission of a misdemeanor or felony, as those terms are defined in s. 939.60.
(f) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver uses the private passenger vehicle to carry persons or property for hire.
(g) The damage occurs while the renter or authorized driver uses the private passenger vehicle outside of the United States or Canada, unless use outside the United States or Canada is permitted under the rental agreement.
(h) The damage occurs while the private passenger vehicle is operated on a surface not intended for use by private passenger vehicles.
(i) The renter provided misleading or false information to the rental company, causing the rental company to rent the private passenger vehicle when the rental company would not have otherwise done so, or on terms to which it would not have otherwise agreed.
(j) The renter or the authorized driver who was operating the private passenger vehicle when an accident occurred fails to promptly report to the police and rental company the accident resulting in damage to the private passenger vehicle.
(k) The damage occurs while the private passenger vehicle is operated by someone other than an authorized driver as defined in s. 344.57 (2). This paragraph does not apply if the vehicle has been lost or a theft has occurred and the renter is presumed to have not caused the theft or loss intentionally under s. 344.574 (1) (a) 3.

NOTICE OF RIGHT TO INSPECT DAMAGE

If the car is damaged, we may not collect any amount for the damage unless you, or an authorized driver against whom we claim liability, have been promptly notified of your and your insurers’ right to inspect the unrepaired car within two working days after we were notified of the damage. If requested within 2 working days of giving to the renter or authorized driver the notice, the rental company shall obtain a 2nd estimate from a competing repair shop and make a copy available to the requester.
