Your Liabilities

As with all insurance there are limits to what is covered and normally an excess amount you have to pay. This is the same with FOX AUTORENT car rental insurance. So let’s start at the beginning!

• All our rented cars have a basic third party insurance which covers any claims made by a third party (e.g. the other driver in an accident situation) 
• If you are responsible for an accident or the car is damaged while you are renting it, you are liable for all the damage and repair costs unless you have purchased an insurance option to reduce your risk. (This includes vehicle recovery costs and additional hire of an alternative car).
• If you have purchased an insurance option, then your liability is limited up to the excess level stipulated in your insurance option.
• Drivers aged 24 years or less cannot opt for high risk cover and their excess payments will be doubled on all other options.
• If you do not comply with the terms and conditions in our rental agreement, you risk losing your optional insurance cover and in certain extreme cases, your third party insurance will no longer apply.
• If you contribute to the theft of the car, or its radio/CD player, car papers and keys, or, if damage occurs to your windscreen, or windows (e.g. smashed) then you are not covered by insurance and will responsible for the cost of the replacement and repair.
• If you leave your car papers or keys in the car, your insurance is invalid.
• If you drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs or use the car for illegal purposes, your insurance is void and you will be responsible for all loss and damage.
• If you enter into a country either without a cross border permit or into a country into which you are not permitted to drive you are liable for all loss and damage that may arise including claims made by a third party.
• At the beginning and end of your rental a vehicle inspection will be carried out by a Fox Autorent colleague (employee). Any marks or damage from a previous rental will be clearly marked on the form. You should carry out your own inspection to see if you agree with the damage report. You will be asked to sign the damage report if you agree with what is written on it. If you do not do this, you are responsible for any damage that is on the report even if you think that you did not cause the damage.
• The agreement you sign allows us to take payments from your credit card for any damage or loss without seeking your consent. We will, however, send you an invoice on every occasion.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
If you lose the car papers, the car cannot be used until the documents are returned or replaced. You will be charged the normal car rental fee until that time. Please do not put them into your luggage but keep them with you at all times!
