Protection
Our protection plans for Clients do not cover interior damage or mechanical damage
— you’re responsible for repair or replacement, as well as Related Costs, for interior damage or mechanical damage occurring during the rental period. Normal wear and tear to the interior or mechanical breakdowns not caused by your neglect or abuse, are not your responsibility. The limitation of financial responsibility available under the Standard, Minimum, Maximum plans doesn’t apply to interior damage or mechanical damage.
Minimum option:
Under the Minimum plan, the amount that the Client
is liable to pay out of their own pocket for
Physical Damage (other than Mechanical or Interior
Damage) to the Vehicle during the Rental period,
plus Related Costs such as claims administrative
fees and appraisal costs (and after exhaustion of
any other applicable insurance), is contractually
limited to $3,000
Standard plan:
Under the Standard plan, the amount that the Client
is liable to pay out of their own pocket for
Physical Damage (other than Mechanical or Interior
Damage) to the Vehicle during the Rental period,
plus Related Costs such as claims administrative
fees and appraisal costs (and after exhaustion of
any other applicable insurance), is contractually
limited to $1000.
Maximum plan:

Minimum, Standart, Maximum are not insurance, are
optional, and may duplicate other coverage that you
have. If you purchase Standart or Minimum, we waive
your responsibility for the portion of damage to or
loss of the Vehicle that is stated on the Rental
Agreement.
We will not waive your responsibility, even though
you purchased Maximum, Standart or Minimum, if you
gave us false, fraudulent or misleading information
prior to the rental or during the rental, and we
would not have rented the Vehicle to you or extended
the rental period, if we were given true
information; or if you fail to notify us and the
police of an accident, theft or vandalism involving
the Vehicle, or if damage to or loss of the Vehicle
is the result of a prohibited use, including damage
or loss that:
• is caused by anyone who is not authorized by ABC
AUTOCARS to drive;

or alcohol;
