Terms & Conditions of the
Loss Damage Warranty Program
Client: | Hometown Motors of Anywhere America, Inc. |
Program Effective Date: | 11/1/2024 |
Client Contract: | Loss Damage Warranty for Rental Vehicles |
These Terms outline a Loss Damage Warranty Program (the "Program") to be made available to the above-referenced Client, effective on the Program Effective Date for vehicles submitted on the Fleet Schedule by Client under these Terms (the "Covered Vehicles"). The submitted fleet schedule must include VIN, Year, Make, Model, and the actual cash value at time of submission. This policy is written as a master policy for Car Rental Association Inc. The Program Manager is Auto Rental Insurance Group PCS 2021-40 aka ARIG.
- Enrollment: Prior to the Program Effective Date, Client shall provide the Program Manager with a Fleet Schedule. The Program Manager will alert the Client if any vehicles are ineligible for the Loss Damage Warranty Program. Specialty, Exotic or Rare or Expensive Vehicles are not eligible for the Loss Damage Warranty Program. All Reports for Days Sold are due by the 5th of the month following the sale (completed sales only, sales that crossover a month are to be reported after the completion of the rental term). All Payments for Days Sold are due at Program Manager no later than the 10th of the Month (5 days after the report is due). By accepting this coverage, you are enrolling in the Car Rental Association for use of their Loss Damage Warranty Program.
- Pricing: The Program pricing was set forth in the Proposal provided to the Client, and is on a per vehicle, per calendar day sold basis. A full daily fee is charged for each calendar day for the duration of the rental agreement that includes the purchase of the Loss Damage Warranty. Client is responsible for all expenses for a Covered Loss, within the Deductible stated on the Program Quote or in excess of the Covered Loss Limit stated on the Program Quote. Only expenses for a Covered Loss that are compliant with these Terms, may be included in the Deductible or in the coverage.
- Covered Losses: Covered Losses are determined on a per vehicle per loss basis and are comprised of Comprehensive Losses and Collision Losses. Comprehensive Losses are losses caused by: (a) fire, lightning or explosion, (b) theft, (c) windstorm, hail or earthquake, (d) flood, or (e) striking an animal or a bird or falling object or airborne debris. Collision Losses are losses caused by: (a) collision with another object, or (b) upset or overturn of a vehicle that is directly caused by a covered collision loss.
- First Notice of Loss (FNOL): As a condition to coverage, Client shall notify the Program Manager of any accident or other event within ten business days after such accident or event, providing all information required by Program Manager, including information required by an industry-standard automotive loss report. Whereas a result of an accident or other event, a Covered Vehicle is determined to be a total loss, Client shall provide the Program Manager with the title to such Covered Vehicle, and a signed and notarized Power of Attorney, within three days after receipt of notice from the Program Manager that such Covered Vehicle is a total loss. In determining whether a loss is a total loss, the Program Manager shall determine value at the lower of Kelley Blue Book value and Actual Cash Value (ACV) for Covered Vehicles.
- Covered Vehicle Repairs and Services: Where repairs or service to a Covered Vehicle as a result of a Covered Loss are required, Client shall have the work performed by a repair facility authorized in advance by the Program Manager or claims adjusting company, and then only to the extent of the work (including scope, estimate price, and estimated completion date and time) authorized by the Program Manager. No coverage is available for work performed or charges billed, that was not authorized in advance by the Program Manager or claims adjusting company. Damage to a stolen covered vehicle is excluded. The maximum coverage for a Covered Loss under these Terms, is the submitted value on the fleet list at the time of submission, less the appropriate deductible. Coverage is contingent on Client's compliance with these Terms. Some claims may require further investigation to determine if a loss is covered under this Program. Client agrees to pay any and all repairs along with associated costs if coverage is determined not to be afforded under this Program. Client agrees that if any vehicle, at time of submission, is undervalued any recovery for a claim with regard to that vehicle will be subject to penalties including but not limited to the voiding of any and all coverage and potential recovery reduced to the lesser of 10% of the value submitted or 10% of the repair or replacement estimate.
- Program Administration: Client shall provide the Program Manager with such data as the Program Manager may reasonably require to administer the Program, and Client shall coordinate and cooperate with the Program Manager and its designees, adjusters, repair facilities or other third parties represented by the Program Manager or claims adjusting company. Under these Terms, Client retains responsibility for collecting any Deductible from the renter and responsibility for all expenses, such as rental replacements, towing and administrative fees, and Client retains responsibility above the Covered Loss Limit as to all expenses including repairs. With respect to subrogation recovery: should the Program Manager decide to initiate subrogation procedures, all subrogation recovery proceeds shall be retained by the Program Manager with the exception of any deductibles paid being returned to the party that paid the deductible.
- Limitations: These Terms do not provide coverage for losses: (a) in Mexico or Canada, (b) where a Covered Vehicle is used outside of the lawful business activity of the Client or in violation of any definitive agreement between Client and the Program Manager, or (c) where the Covered Vehicle is used in any profession, commercial (other than rental), racing, or demolition context or activity. These Terms do not provide coverage for losses where the Covered Vehicle driver did not possess a valid driver's license, or where a driver had been convicted of fleeing the scene of an accident, insurance fraud or DUI/DWI. (d) Wear and Tear of a Covered Vehicle, (e) maintenance items, (f) war, military action, civil unrest, or governmental action, (g) intentional acts or gross negligence by Client or its employees or others under Client's control or direction, (h) freezing, mechanical or electrical breakdown, and for electric vehicles, improper battery care and charging and other actions inconsistent with manufacturer instructions or industry standards, and for other alternative fuel vehicles, improper care and operation of alternative fuel systems and other actions inconsistent with manufacturer instructions or industry standards, (i) blowouts, punctures, or other road damage to tires; (j) loss involving drivers deemed to be excluded by liability carrier, or (k) damage to or loss of personal or business property (l) driver is not listed as renter or additional authorized driver on the rental agreement (m) Any obligation of an Insured under Workers Compensation, disability benefits, unemployment compensation law, or any similar law or any relating to any employer/employee benefits.

- NO WARRANTIES BY PROGRAM MANAGER: The Program Manager does not perform or oversee any maintenance or repair services, or related services, such as towing and storage. The Program Manager's role is limited to supporting Client in arranging for repair services by unrelated third parties, almost always selected only on the basis of geographic proximity to the Covered Vehicle ACCORDINGLY, THE PROGRAM MANAGER DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS OF ANY TYPE, WHETHER FOR GOODS OR SERVICES, RELATIVE TO ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY REPAIR FACILITY OR OTHER THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF FITNESS, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. The workmanship of the repair facility or other third parties, involvement of the Program Manager, and payments by the Program Manager, do not relieve Client of any responsibility, including responsibility under any lease contract between Client and the Program Manager.
- Miscellaneous: Neither Client nor Program Manager are liable to the other for consequential damages (including lost profits), or special, exemplary, or punitive damages. Neither has any obligation to defend or indemnify the other for claims under these Terms. Any invoice for the Program fees or other amounts due to the Program Manager under these Terms shall be paid in full in accordance with the payment terms indicated in the Agreement, without set-off, and any amount not paid when due, shall bear interest until paid in accordance with the terms indicated in the Agreement.
- Deductible: Client, when submitting the Fleet Schedule, designates each vehicle as being within a specific value range. Deductibles are based on this designated value. For ALL Vehicles, the Minimum Deductible agreed to by the Client is listed on Addendum 2. The Client is responsible for the collection of any and all Minimum Deductibles. Should a Credit Card or any other valid and collectible insurance, provide similar protection as the Loss Damage Warranty Coverage described herein, that coverage limit becomes the Minimum Deductible if larger than the deductible described in Addendum 2.
- Priority of Other Comparative Coverage(s): Client is responsible for all Deductibles whether collected from the renter or not and for the value designation as submitted with the application. As such, the Client is in the best position to manage the Deductibles and the Priority of Coverage(s). The maximum possible recovery for the client is the value stated on the fleet schedule at submission, less the appropriate deductible. Any other applicable coverages following priority.
The Client and the Program Manager by their duly authorized representative hereby agree to the Terms effective as of the Program Effective Date.
