$3,000 Limit – Option 1

I choose to limit my financial responsibility to $3,000.00 USD. I agree to pay for any damages sustained to SM and/or SM property during the duration of my rental period up to this chosen limit regardless of cause, whether it be neglect, collision or otherwise. To secure this damage limit, I agree to pay a fee of $45.00 USD per vehicle, per day.

I agree to pay for any damages sustained to SM and/or SM property during the duration of my rental period up to this chosen limit regardless of cause, whether it be neglect, collision or otherwise.

No Limit – Option 3

I choose full financial responsibility and I agree to pay for all damages sustained to SM and/or SM property during the duration of my rental period. This option does not limit my responsibility to pay for any damages sustained while the vehicle was in my possession regardless of cause, whether it be neglect, collision or otherwise. There is no fee for this option.

Regardless of which damage limit you select, these ‘limits’ are independent from and not related to any of your personal insurance. In the case that any damages occur, you’re responsible to pay for any SM property damages in full when your rental period finishes. Our contract is with you only, any claims submitted your insurance is independent of your obligation to us and has no bearing or reduction on your responsibility to pay for your damages.
