Client responsibilities include repair costs, loss of value to the vehicle, non-rentability of the vehicle as established in article 7 for failure to return the vehicle within the agreed terms, towing fees, storage and administrative costs deriving from any event or claims for any damages caused by the vehicle, as indicated in the Vehicle Damage Chart Charges , which includes cost of materials, labor, and non-rentability due to repair times and is available to the Client upon request at the Rental Agency.
In order to protect the Lessor from risk of fraud, satellite devices, which are able to indicate the location, the driving speed and driving quality of the driver, may be installed on the vehicle.
The Lessor reserves the right to communicate such information to the judicial authorities, Insurance Companies, Lawyers Offices and Companies specialized in the prevention and management of thefts and accidents and to use or allow the use of that information for its own defense.
The responsibility for theft and fire is limited to a maximum amount, except in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the Client or the driver (including third-party drivers), which varies with the rental's vehicle group and is indicated as the "deductible". Deductibles are indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List, with a reference to each vehicle group. If a stolen car is found at a later date, damage will be calculated as the "Standard" daily rental rate until the vehicle is released and delivered, without prejudice in any case to payment of damages to the vehicle within damage deductible liability limits.
The rental charges include the "Theft Protection Liability Reduction" (T.P.) limitation of responsibility agreement with subsequent application in case of such event, of a "Theft Deductible" (FTP) which affects the amount due according to the percentage indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List.
Client responsibility for theft and fire can be further reduced or completely eliminated, except in case of willful misconduct or gross negligence of the driver, by requesting the option "Elimination / Reduction of Deductible for Theft and Fire" (S.T.P.). In that case the rental fee will be determined by calculating the addition of the elimination/reduction of liability agreement as indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List according to vehicle group.
The special conditions for the applicability of S.T.P. are defined in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List.
Neither Limitation of Responsibility nor Elimination/Reduction of Liability should be considered as insurance, but as agreements to reduce or exclude the Client's financial liability.
In case of total theft or fire of the rented vehicle, the Client will be charged for the same quantity of fuel as indicated on the rental agreement at pick up time.
Client's responsibility in case of partial theft and fire is regulated in accordance with the following paragraph on "Damages".
In all cases of total or partial theft or fire, the Client is required to immediately report the occurrence to the local authorities and hand over the original copy of the Police report and the keys of the vehicle to the nearest Rental Agency within 48 hours of the event and to collaborate with the Lessor in the resolution of any judicial proceedings. In case of non-compliance with these terms, all of the mentioned liability limitations or exclusions for total or partial theft and/or fire are automatically not effective.
Any limitation of responsibility (T.P. or S.T.P.) shall have no effect or validity in the case of total theft, if keys are not returned, or in case of theft or damage to tires, and without prejudice to the afore-mentioned Police statement and notification requirements or the consequences derived from non-compliance with the terms in Conditions for Driving and Use in Article 6 of these General Conditions.
Except for the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Client or the driver (including third-parties), responsibility is limited in the case of damages due to accidents, wrecks, attempted theft as well as fire or partial fire, to a variable maximum amount which depends on the rented vehicle category and is indicated as "deductible". Deductible costs are indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List, with a reference for each vehicle category.
The rental fee includes a limitation of responsibility, which is indicated as "Collision Damage Liability Reduction" (C.D.W.), and affects the amount due as indicated, please see the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List for a reference for each vehicle category.
The Client will not be charged for the deductible if he/she produces a C.A.I. form (amicable accident report) duly signed by both parties involved in the accident, if the responsibility of the counterpart is clearly indicated.
The Client's responsibility in these cases can be reduced or eliminated, except in the case of willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Client or the driver, by undersigning the option "Elimination / Reduction of Damage Deductible" (SKO).
Special conditions regarding the applicability of the SKO option are defined in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List.
The rental fee will be established by calculating the inclusion of the liability exclusion or reduction as indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List, with reference to each vehicle category.
Both CDW and SKO are liability limitations that reduce or exclude the Client's financial liability but they are not to be considered as insurance policies.
It is the responsibility of the Client to report any and all accidents involving the rented vehicle, even if it is not damaged, within 24 hours of the event, to the nearest Rental Agency, filling out and sending the C.A.I. from, otherwise any additional liability reduction becomes non effective (CDW, SKO). The Client is liable for any damages caused to the Lessor for non-notification of the event or for late notification and hereby agrees to pay the penalty amount indicated in the AmicoBlu Rental Rate List without prejudice to greater damages. Because the increasing of insurance costs, assuming causation of an accident liability is due to a flat rate penalty amount indicated in the Maggiore Rate Brochure, unless greater damage. For further information see the Contract Documentation.
At the moment of the accident, it is the Client's responsibility to obtain all of the proof necessary to identify who was responsible for the accident. To this end, the Client must: (i) call the appropriate authorities and ask for a report by the Police, Carabinieri, or Vigili Urbani; (ii) ask for the names and addresses of any witnesses present; (iii) collaborate with the Lessor in any subsequent lawsuits brought about by the accident, even if requested at a later time.
Any limitation or exclusion of responsibility (CDW, SKO) shall have no validity in case of damages caused by willful misconduct or negligence, damage to vehicle interiors, damage caused to the roof or to the camber of commercial vehicles, for damage caused by incorrectly evaluating the height of the vehicle and of the objects that stick out beyond or over the roof, for damages caused to the clutch assembly, for damages caused by over-revving, for damages or theft of the tires and/or hubcaps, as well as damages deriving from the failure to observe the provisions regarding Driving and Use of the Vehicle stated in Article 6 of these General Conditions.
The Client may not be considered responsible for failure to perform his/her responsibilities in cases of force majeure. "Force majeure" is considered – pursuant to law – an unavoidable and unforeseeable extraordinary event that is independent of the will of the parties and which prohibits them from fulfilling their obligations.
