LIABILITY, INSURANCE AND OPTIONAL
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Loss or Damage to the DOLLAR Vehicle: Except
as limited by the law of the jurisdiction where the
vehicle is rented, a renter is absolutely liable for any
loss or damage to the DOLLAR vehicle, regardless of
fault or cause of the loss or damage. This liability,
except where limited by law, shall not exceed the full
value of the DOLLAR vehicle plus actual towing and
storage charges, loss of use (revenue) and diminished
value while the DOLLAR vehicle is being repaired,
prorated license or tag costs and a reasonable
administrative fee.
Third Party Liability Claims: Unless otherwise
required by applicable law, a renter and/or any
additional authorized driver (and the respective
insurance company of each) is primarily responsible for
all third party claims of personal injury, including
death, and property damage caused or arising from the
use and operation of the Dollar vehicle during the
rental. (To the extent DOLLAR is required to provide
coverage, in spite of the terms of the rental agreement,
it shall only be in an amount necessary to satisfy the
minimum financial responsibility limits required by
applicable law.)
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage: Where permitted by law, DOLLAR does not provide
uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. In those
states where DOLLAR must provide such coverage, DOLLAR
will only provide such coverage up to the minimum limits
required by law. In some states, Dollar offers the
option to purchase Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
Protection ("UMP"). Please refer to the Optional
Protection Package below for an explanation of this
coverage.
Optional Protection Package: At the time of
rental, DOLLAR offers for purchase at the option of the
renter, Loss Damage Waiver ("LDW"), Personal Accident
Insurance ("PAI"), Personal Effects Protection ("PEP"),
Personal Protection Plan ("PPP"), Personal Accident and
Effects ("PAE"), Supplemental Liability Insurance
("SLI") and Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist
Protection ("UMP"). PAI and PEP combined is also know as
PAE in Florida and PPP elsewhere and must be purchased
together. The per day cost of LDW, PAI/PEP/PAE/PPP, SLI
and UMP varies by location, vehicle category and rate.
At some DOLLAR locations, some of these options may not
be available for purchase. Please refer to the Location
Policies to determine whether SLI is required for travel
into Canada and the cost of such coverage. Additional
information as to each option can be obtained from your
DOLLAR representative at the time of rental, including a
brochure summarizing PAI/PEP/PAE/PPP, SLI and UMP.
A. Loss Damage Waiver ("LDW"): At the time of
rental, a renter may purchase LDW. If purchased, DOLLAR
will waive a renter's responsibility for any loss or
damage to a Dollar vehicle, unless the renter has not
complied with the Rental Agreement. LDW is not .
B. Personal Accident Insurance ("PAI"): Personal
Accident Insurance ("PAI") is an option that provides
the benefits shown below in the event of accidental
death or accidental injury to a renter and passengers
occurring during the rental of a DOLLAR vehicle. If this
optional coverage is purchased by a renter, the renter
is covered twenty-four hours a day for all accidents,
whether the renter is actually in the DOLLAR vehicle at
the time of the accident. Passengers in a DOLLAR vehicle
are only covered for accidents occurring while they
occupy the DOLLAR vehicle.
