Liability Waiver
The renter agrees to release the rental company from any liability for damage, theft, or loss of the vehicle during the rental period, except in cases of mechanical failure not caused by the renter’s actions. The renter assumes all risks associated with the operation of the vehicle, including accidents and third-party claims. The rental company will not be liable for any personal injury or property damage incurred during the use of the vehicle.
Insurance Requirements
The renter is required to maintain valid insurance coverage that meets or exceeds the minimum legal requirements for vehicle rentals within the jurisdiction. The renter may opt to purchase additional insurance coverage offered by the rental company for an additional fee. Proof of insurance must be provided to the rental company prior to the release of the vehicle.
Conditions of Use
The renter agrees to operate the vehicle in a safe, lawful manner and not engage in any prohibited activities, such as off-road driving, racing, or subleasing the vehicle. The vehicle is to be used only on paved roads, and smoking is strictly prohibited inside the vehicle. The renter must ensure regular vehicle maintenance during the rental period, including checking oil and fuel levels.
Return Conditions
The vehicle must be returned on the agreed-upon date and time, in the same condition as when it was rented, with a full tank of fuel unless otherwise specified. Any damage, excessive wear, or cleanliness issues will result in additional charges deducted from the security deposit or billed separately. The renter must report any accidents, damages, or mechanical issues to the rental company immediately.
Indemnification Clause
The renter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the rental company, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, or liabilities arising from the renter’s use of the vehicle. This includes but is not limited to legal fees, court costs, and settlement expenses. The indemnification applies to any accidents, third-party claims, or violations of law during the rental period.
Governing Law
This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state or country in which the rental company operates. Any disputes arising under this agreement will be resolved exclusively in the courts located in the rental company’s jurisdiction. The renter consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to venue or convenience.
