2 PROGRAM PARTICIPATION
Visual Inspection
At delivery or pick-up of a Vehicle, our Authorized Representative will conduct a “walk around” visual inspection of the exterior of the Vehicle with you to confirm that there is no visible damage to the Vehicle at the time you take possession of such Vehicle. Upon return our Authorized Representative will do the same with you. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to the Vehicle beyond normal wear and tear.
Vehicle Maintenance
We have the right to issue a return request and remove any Vehicle from service and availability at any time and for any or no reason, including, without limitation, for maintenance or safety recall purposes. Only we are permitted to modify or repair Vehicles. You will not operate any Vehicle that you believe may be unsafe to operate. You are solely responsible for immediately notifying us of any potential safety defect or concern you identify in a Vehicle.
Replacement Vehicle
Unfortunately, in case the rented vehicle can no longer be available due to breakdown, or any other reason, a replacement vehicle will not be provided. The Renter will instead be eligible for a refund from the company. The refund will be calculated on a pro-rata basis and is subject to confirmation and approval by the company.
Insurance Coverage
The daily fee paid includes comprehensive insurance. A deductible amount, ranging from AED 750 – AED 2,500 depending on the vehicle model, is applied.
3 LIMITATIONS OF USE
The Renter must comply with each of the following matters:
- No person other than an approved renter is allowed to operate the vehicle

4 RESPONSIBILITY TO THIRD PARTIES AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF VEHICLES.
Notwithstanding any term set forth in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that you are responsible for any and all loss and damage that is caused by the Vehicles during your use under our Program.
In addition, you are responsible for all loss of or damage to a Vehicle during a Rental Period resulting from any cause, including collision, rollover, theft, vandalism, road condition, weather, or acts of nature.
(a) all physical or mechanical damage to the Vehicle measured as follows:
(i) if we determine that the Vehicle is a total loss, the actual cash value of the Vehicle; or
(ii) if we determine that the Vehicle is repairable: (A) the difference between the value of the Vehicle immediately before
the damage and the value immediately after the damage; or (B) the reasonable estimated retail value or actual cost of
repair plus Diminished Value;
(b) any Loss of Use, which shall be measured by multiplying the prorated daily rate by the actual or estimated number of days
from the date the Vehicle is damaged until it is replaced or repaired, which you agree represents a reasonable estimate of
Loss of Use damages and not a penalty, and Loss of Use shall be payable regardless of fleet utilization
(c) a reasonable administrative fee
