If you purchase CDW/RCP, we waive our right to collect from you for a portion of Physical Damage to the Vehicle. WE DO NOT WAIVE OUR RIGHTS TO COLLECT FROM YOU FOR PHYSICAL DAMAGE IF YOU ENTERED INTO THIS RENTAL TRANSACTION BASED ON FRAUDULENT INFORMATION SUPPLIED BY THE RENTER, OR IF THE DAMAGE: (A) IS CAUSED INTENTIONALLY OR BY WILLFUL OR WANTON MISCONDUCT OF AN AUTHORIZED DRIVER; (B) ARISES OUT OF THE USE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL, ILLEGAL DRUGS, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, OR ANY OTHER INTOXICANT THAT IMPAIRS DRIVING ABILITY; (C) ARISES OUT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE WHILE ENGAGED IN THE COMMISSION OF A CRIME OTHER THAN A TRAFFIC VIOLATION; (D) ARISES OUT THE USE OF THE VEHICLE TO CARRY PERSONS OR PROPERTY FOR HIRE, TO PUSH OR TOW ANYTHING, TO ENGAGE IN A SPEED CONTEST OR FOR DRIVER'S TRAINING; (E) ARISES OUT OF THE USE OF THE VEHICLE BY ANYONE OTHER THAN AN AUTHORIZED DRIVER; (F) ARISES OUT OF THE USE OF THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES, UNLESS THAT USE IS SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

​

C. Insurance.

​

You agree to provide auto liability, collision and comprehensive insurance covering you, us, and the Vehicle. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DAMAGES OR LOSS YOU CAUSE TO OTHERS AND THE VEHICLE. Where state law requires us to provide auto liability insurance, or if you have no auto liability insurance, we provide auto liability insurance (the "Policy' or "RCP") that is secondary to any other valid and collectible insurance whether primary, secondary, excess or contingent. The Policy provides bodily injury and property damage liability coverage with limits no higher than minimum levels prescribed by the financial responsibility laws of the State whose laws apply to the loss. You and we reject PIP, medical payments, no-fault and uninsured and under-insured motorist coverage, where permitted by law. Coverage is void if you violate the terms of this Agreement or if you fail to cooperate in any loss investigation conducted by us, or our insurer. Giving the Vehicle to an unauthorized driver terminates our liability insurance coverage, if any.
