- RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, THE VEHICLE
COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER-THEFT PROTECTION OPTION (CDW-TP)
In case of theft or attempted theft of the Vehicle, or if I am involved in an accident or the Vehicle sustains damage, even from unknown causes, I am responsible for the financial charges to repair the resulting damages to the Vehicle. Other costs related to the damage to the Vehicle may include towing, storage, impound fees, loss of use, claims processing fees, and administrative charges, regardless of fault. - This financial responsibility is reduced to a maximum of US$ 500.00 if I accept the CDW-TP Option on the rental document, pay the charge as shown on the rental document, and comply with this Agreement, including all the Terms and Conditions. I UNDERSTAND THAT CDW-TP IS NOT INSURANCE.
I understand that my personal automobile insurance policy or travel insurance policy (my insurance policy), may cover damages to the Vehicle as well as fire and personal injury incurred while using a rental Vehicle; I understand that the Company cannot interpret the terms and conditions of my insurance policy and that it is my responsibility to check with my insurance company and my insurance agent what the limitations and responsibilities are of my insurance policy. I further understand that the Company cannot interpret the terms and conditions of my credit card and it is my responsibility to learn if my credit card covers any damages to the Vehicle. The existence of aforementioned insurance coverage or credit card coverage, does not release me from liability towards You for any damage(s) to the Vehicle while in my possession. The CDW-TP Option is only valid when opted during reservation or pick-up of the Vehicle. If the car sustains damages due to acts attributed to improper or irresponsible Vehicle usage as described, but not limited to, Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company, in its sole discretion, can declare the CDW-TP null and void and the CDW-TP option will not cover damages to the Vehicle.
In case I decline the CDW-TP and the Vehicle is stolen and not recovered within 30 days, I will pay the Company the fair market value, which is the retail value of the Vehicle immediately preceding the theft of the Vehicle. If the Vehicle is recovered within 30 days, I will pay the Company the fair market value less proceeds of the sale of the salvaged Vehicle. - DEDUCTIBLE PROTECTION (DP)
If I accept the CDW Option, I understand that my financial responsibility is reduced to US $ 500.00 in case of damage to, or (attempted) theft of the Vehicle. I am able to further reduce my financial responsibility to zero (US$ 0.00) if I accept the DP Option on the rental document, pay the charge as shown on the rental document, and comply with this Agreement, including all Terms and Conditions. The DP Option is only valid when opted during reservation or pick-up of the Vehicle. - NATIONAL PACKAGE PROTECTION (NPP)
I understand that you offer an optional NPP coverage. NPP is a package product which includes the CDW-TP and DP options at a discount price. All conditions as stated in sections 8 & 9, are applicable to the APP coverage. - ROADSIDE PLUS (RSP)
If I accept the RSP Option on the rental document, pay the charge as shown on the rental document, and comply with this Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions, You will provide roadside assistance without additional charge. RSP includes towing (not related to an accident), flat tire service (if no inflated spare is available, vehicle will be towed), lockout service (if keys are locked inside the vehicle), jumpstarts, and fuel delivery service for up to 5 liters of fuel. RSP IS VOID IF I, OR ANY AUTHORIZED DRIVER(S), WERE USING THE VEHICLE IMPROPERLY OR IRRESPOBSIBLY AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 5 OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. - FUEL
I will return the Vehicle with at least the same amount of fuel as when I received it, unless I accept and paid for the ‘prepaid fuel’ option. If I return the Vehicle with less fuel than how I received it, I will pay the Company a refuel service charge per liter as shown on the rental document and determined by You to refuel the Vehicle for me. The refuel service charge will be determined by estimating the difference in fuel level shown on the fuel gauge from the time Vehicle is rented to the time it is returned. I understand that I shall not receive a refund or credit if Vehicle is returned with more fuel than how I received it. I understand that the ‘prepaid fuel’ option is non-refundable. - TIRES
I understand that, as stated in section 5, it is prohibited to drive the Vehicle on unpaved roads. Furthermore, I understand that I am responsible for the cost to repair damages to the tires that are not deemed normal wear and tear. I am aware that damages to the tires are not covered by the CDW-TP, DP or RSP Options. - SMOKING AND EXCESSIVE DIRT

Additional cleaning fees may apply if a Vehicle is returned in a condition where it would have to be carefully cleaned and deodorized due to smoking. I also am aware that additional cleaning fees apply if I return your Vehicle with excessive dirt, to be determined at the Company’s sole discretion. - LIABILITY INSURANCE OR QUALIFIED SELF-INSURANCE
An automobile liability insurance policy or qualified self-insurance arrangement protects me and any Authorized Driver(s) on a primary basis in respect to other insurance, for third party bodily injury, death of another and for property damage other than to the rental vehicle on a per-occurrence basis as permitted by this Agreement, arising from the use of the Vehicle. The coverage is in an amount up to CMg. 250,000.00 but in no event in excess of, the minimum limits required by the automobile financial responsibility or compulsory insurance laws of Curaçao, unless other limits are provided pursuant to a separate account Agreement.

d. Any liability of a driver who is not an Authorized Driver and any liability for an accident which occurs while the vehicle is obtained or used in violation of this Agreement.
In the event that the liability coverage is extended by operation of law to anyone not permitted by this Agreement to drive the Vehicle, the limits of coverage shall be the minimum required, by the automobile financial responsibility or compulsory insurance laws of Curaçao. - ACCIDENT, THEFT AND CLAIMS REPORTING
I understand that in case of damage to the Vehicle, theft of the Vehicle or if I am involved in an accident, I am to remain on the scene and call Forensys at 199, or in case of theft, the Curaçao Police Department at 911 immediately.
