The Renter agrees, when not driving, to activate the alarm if applicable, lock the vehicle with a key, and secure the anti-theft device.

Moreover, the vehicle must be returned during the agency’s opening hours as identified on the front page; otherwise, the return time for billing purposes will be the agency’s next opening time. In this case, the Renter remains responsible for any theft or damage caused to the vehicle until the agency reopens and an employee inspects the vehicle. The Lessor reserves the right to refuse any unreasonable or bad faith extension request. The Renter acknowledges being duly informed that any false declaration regarding the driving license and age will result in the loss of insurance coverage, in addition to any other damages and liabilities.

ARTICLE 6 – INSURANCE – PROTECTION ADD-ONS – ACCIDENTS – LOSS – THEFT
The Renter’s liability for damages caused to the Vehicle (provided they have adhered to the obligations set forth in this contract) is limited to the maximum amount (called the excess). This liability is waived (except in the case of theft) if the Renter agrees to pay the amount corresponding to the excess waiver (CDW) by signing their acceptance on the front, subject to the applicable deductible (non-waivable excess) as indicated below or in the price brochures. Even with CDW acceptance, the Renter remains fully responsible for damages to the underside of the vehicle, tires, and towing, above and beyond the excess and the non-waivable excess.

In case of an accident, the Renter agrees, under penalty of losing the benefit of insurance:
(I) to immediately notify the police if there are any injuries,
(II) to prepare a clearly written amicable report specifying the detailed circumstances of the accident, signed if possible by the driver(s) of the other vehicle(s) involved.
Failure to provide this report to the Lessor, either upon return of the vehicle or no later than 15 days after the request, will result in the Renter being required to pay a minimum indemnity equal to the excess amount, even if they have opted for the excess waiver (CDW).

Regardless of any other provision, the Renter is fully liable for any damages to the Vehicle resulting from:
(I) a clear violation of the Highway Code, such as running a red light, driving on the wrong side, or violating a no-entry sign, or
(II) negligence in driving, parking, or general use of the Vehicle, particularly any damage caused by insufficient levels of water or oil, which the Renter is required to check every 1000 kilometers, or
(III) mechanical damage due to misuse.
The Lessor cannot be held liable for losses, thefts, or damages to any goods or valuables transported or left in the Vehicle by the Renter or any other person during the rental period or after the Vehicle is returned.

In case of theft, the Renter must immediately report it to the police and return the registration card, keys, and, if applicable, the alarm or anti-theft device within 48 hours. The Renter’s responsibility will only extend to the excess amount, as specified in the price brochure, unless the TPC protection add-on was chosen and subject to the non-waivable excess.

ARTICLE 7 – MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
7.1 – Any damage caused to the Vehicle by transporting objects, goods, or animals will be at the Renter’s expense.
