Car insurance, third-party liability, and personal insurance

The vehicle is insured at the expense of Lessor. The vehicle insurance foresees implicit deductible (excess). Implicit deductible is the cost of damage not covered by Insurance Policy in case of vehicle injuries. The deductible at the rate of (guarantee fee) 500 Euro is the maximal sum of Lessee’s obligations if the occurred damages are covered by Insurance Policy. 

In the case of vehicle physical loss, the Lessee is obliged to pay to the Lessor a fee at the rate 10% from full cost of the car (full cost mentioned in Liability). The Lessee must pay the cost of transporting the damaged vehicle.

The Lessee is responsible for injury or damages caused to third party’s life, health and property as a result of vehicle operation only in that part which exceeds the sum of maximum limit of liability for bodily injury and property damage reflected in Insurance Policy. The Insurance Policy sum of responsible for injury or damages caused to third party’s life, health and property is 10 000 Euro.

The Lessee independently, at his own expense and in full, bears all costs caused to his life and passengers’ health, and also responsible for damages caused to baggage being in the vehicle and belonging to Lessee or one of the passengers or being in use at the moment of vehicle rental period.   

The component parts of the vehicle are not insured(such as camping equipment, rooftop tent, rooftop box, satellite phone, etc.) The Lessee is responsible for casual loss or damage of component parts noted in the Delivery-Acceptance report. The Lessee financially accounts for absence, damage or other rebukes to component parts. The financial liability of Lessee is determined by the Lessor on the ground of the component parts documented costs.
