RENTAL STATIONS: WHITEHORSE #2

The rental station provides coverage of $3 millions public liability and property damage coverage to third party in the case where the client is at fault.

Clients must leave a $5000.00 deposit which is processed and sign a form agreeing to pay the balance of the market value of the vehicle, should the vehicle be totally destroyed, or pay the appraised value by tow repair shops for partial damage. If clients have a major damage or accident they must turn in to the station at least one day early to allow time to make arrangements for their insurance coverage. The vehicle will not be replaced with another rental unit for the balance of the rental time in the case of an accident. If a third party has caused the accident, it will be the clients responsibility to make sure everything is arranged with the other parties insurance company for repairs. Otherwise, the owness will fall back on the client. The three million dollar liability coverage is subject to $500.00 deductible. It is the clients responsibility to make sure they have the correct insurance coverage. These rules also apply for clients renting our compact cars.
