Wild Campers USA Insurance

There are 2 things to consider when renting a Campervan in America:

Damage to the Escape Campervan.
Liability Insurance.

1) Damage to the Escape Campervan
Campervan Insurance is not included in the cost of the rental.
The hirer is responsible for any damage caused to the Escape Campervan.
For clients peace of mind, The Supplier does offer:

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)
This costs only $8/Day and reduces the Campervan liability (or excess) to $0

2) Liability Insurance
This is to protect your clients against 3rd party claims if they injure a person or damage someone else’s property. Basic Statutory limits for liability and property damage is included in Escape Campervans daily rate. The liability levels change between the various States as per below:

Statutory Limits

Your rental agreement provides you with basic statutory limits for liability and property damage. Escape Campervans covers the below levels for you.
The table that follows displays the minimum financial responsibility or compulsory liability insurance limits for all the states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Canadian provinces.
                         
The laws of all states express the requirements in terms of split limits. 
For example, if the chart shows "25/50/10", the law requires that the policy provide at least $25,000 for bodily injury to each person, $50,000 for all bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage, each accident.
                         
The insurance laws of some states also state the requirement in terms of a combined single limit.  For example, if the chart shows "15/30/10 or 40", the law provides that a policy with a combined single limit of at least $40,000 will also satisfy the requirement.  A combined single limit of $40,000 means that the insurance will pay up to $40,000 for all bodily injury and property damage arising out of each accident.  The required limits for the Canadian provinces are expressed as combined single limits only.
   

STATE LIMITS

If your clients own travel insurance does not include liability cover to US$1,000,000, The Supplier can offer this to them for an additional $9.95/day. This Liability Insurance is called 'Supplementary liability Insurance' (SLI) and is completely optional. The Supplier's Insurance companies terms are as follows:

SUPPLEMENTAL LIABILITY INSURANCE

Increase your third party liability protection coverage to a maximum of $1,000,000.

SLI is excess automobile insurance that protects you and any authorized driver, as defined in the rental agreement, against third party automobile claims for bodily injury and property damage caused during permitted use of the rental vehicle.

SLI Provides you with the following benefits:
* SLI provides you with a high limit of liability protection up to one million dollars ($1,000,000).
* When you accept SLI, the plan will provide you with excess coverage for the difference between that provided in
your rental agreement, if any, and up to one million dollars ($1,000,000).

SLI does not provide coverage:
* If you violate the terms and conditions or use restrictions of the rental agreement.
* For bodily injury or property damage sustained by you and/or relatives, as defined, residing with you or by any authorized driver and/or relatives, as defined, residing with them
* For uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, first party benefits, no-fault or other liability insurance that is optionalor can be waived or rejected. When accepting SLI, you agree to waive or reject, to the extent allowed by law, any such insurance.
* SLI does not provide coverage for minimum financial responsibility limits if not provided for in your rental agreement.

SUPPLEMENT TO RENTAL AGREEMENT
YOU and THE SUPPLIER agree to Amend the Agreement entered into between YOU and US, on the same date as identified on the Rental Agreement as follows:

LIABILITY PROTECTION
A. The Supplier will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend You and any Authorized Operators from and against liability to third parties, which by definition excludes any of your or any authorized operators family members related by blood, marriage or adoption residing with you or them, for the difference between the liability protection limits provided in Paragraph "B" below and:

1) A MAXIMUM COMBINED SINGLE LIMIT OF ONE MILLION ($1,000,000) DOLLARS PER OCCURRENCE FOR BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, INCLUDING OWNERS LIABILITY IF THE ACCIDENT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE RENTAL VEHICLE AS PERMITTED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
2) THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE "UNINSURED MOTORIST", "UNDERINSURED MOTORIST", "SUPPLEMENTARY NO FAULT", OR ANY OTHER OPTIONAL COVERAGE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; THE SUPPLIER AND YOU HEREBY REJECT THE INCLUSION OF ANY SUCH COVERAGE. In the event that such coverage is imposed by law, the limits of such coverage will be the minimum required by law of the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs.

B. IF AN ACCIDENT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE RENTAL VEHICLE, YOUR INSURANCE OR THE INSURANCE OF THE OPERATOR OF THE RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PRIMARY. This means that The Supplier will not grant any defense or indemnity protection under this paragraph if either you or the operator of the Rental Vehicle are covered by any other valid and collectible automobile liability insurance, either primary, excess or contingent, with the limits at least equal to the minimum required by the state financial responsibility law where the accident occurs. Further, you warrant that such insurance coverage is effective as of the date of Rental Agreement or Addendum.

E. Coverage is void and not effective if you violate the terms and or conditions of the Rental Agreement or if Rental Vehicle was obtained through a Rental Agreement based on Fraudulent information.

F. Renter accepts or declines Coverage at rate included in this web site and in the material provided to you. Acceptance is proof of Coverage under Policy issued to Lessor as outlined in this brochure. The SLI insurance program is offered by an independent insurance company.

The terms and conditions of SLI Coverage are outlined on this web site.
