11. INSURANCE
a) Comprehensive insurance: The Lessee is not responsible for any damages to the car (excluding the insurance for the tyres on the wheels, the interior and the underside of the car) where s/he accepts the conditions herein and pays an additional amount on a daily basis, in accordance with the current invoice.
A necessary condition is that the Lessee will observe the provisions under the K.O.K. that apply on each occasion during the rental period. In the case of the non acceptance of the comprehensive insurance the car will only be covered for the insurance towards third parties, and the Lessee will be fully responsible for any damages that are caused to the car.
b) Personal insurance for passengers: The Lessee, who upon his/her signature accepts the insurance, agrees to pay an additional amount on a daily basis, in accordance with the current invoice. S/he accepts the conditions in the open policy for personal accidents that apply between the AutoSun Company on behalf of its clients and the Insurance Company with which it is associated for this purpose. Where the Lessee does not want to insure the persons that s/he is transporting in the car, s/he will then be liable for every accident that occurs to these people, whereby the Lessor Company will not have any responsibility.
c) Every insurance cover is up to the level of the compensation amount that is specified in the insurance policy for the car and which is held at the Company’s main offices. The Lessee is wholly responsible for damages and compensation that are greater than the aforementioned cover.
