15) The Renter is liable for all costs that arise from necessary transportation of the vehicle to the premises of the Lessor, due to damage to the vehicle, or due to other reasons, and payment of an own risk fee (CDW) has no effect in this respect, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties to this rental agreement.

Obligations of the Lessor:

16) The Lessor undertakes to ensure that the vehicle meets the demands made of it.

17) The vehicle shall be passed on to the Renter with the fuel tank full of fuel.

Insurance and own risk fee (Collission Damage Walver – CDW):

24) The rental fee includes mandatory vehicle insurance, i.e., liability insurance and accident insurance for the driver and the owner.

25) Third-party liability insurance and accident insurance for owner and driver will consist of the amount stipulated by Icelandic law at any given time. The Renter´s own risk (also termed as “deductible”, i.e., the amount that must be paid out of pocket by the Renter for covered losses before an insurance company pays a claim) with regard to damage to the vehicle amounts up to the full value of the vehicle.

26) The Renter can pay a separate own risk fee (CDW) with regard to the Renter´s own risk, and by doing so reduce his or hers own risk with respect to damage to the vehicle. Regardless of whether such own risk fee (CDW) is paid; the Renter is always obliged to pay a minimum amount in case of damage to the vehicle. That amount is determined in the Lessor´s price list.

27) The amounts of own risk fees (CDW) are variable depending upon the damage-sum the relevant own risk fee covers. With regard to amounts of own risk fees (CW) and which damage-sum the payment of such fees cover, reference is made to the Lessor´s price list, which forms a part of this rental agreement if an own risk fee is paid. Payment of an own risk fee (CDW) does not cover:

a. Intentional damage or damage due to gross negligence on the influence of alcohol, stimulants or sedatives, or in any other way incapable of driving the vehicle in a safe manner.

b. Damage resulting from the driver being under the influence of alcohol, stimulants or sedatives, or in any other way incapable of driving the vehicle in a safe manner.

c. Damage due to race or test driving.

d. Damage due to war, revolution, civil unrest and riots.

e. Damage done by animals.

f. Holes burned into seats, carpets, or mats.

g. Damage affecting only wheels, tries, suspension, batteries, glass (other than windows), radios, or loss by theft of parts of the vehicle and damage resulting form this.

h. Damage caused by driving on tough roads to the vehicle´s transmission, drive and other parts that are in or attached to the chassis; damage to the chassis resulting from the vehicle scraping bottom on rough roads, e.g., ridges being left by road graders; stones lodged in the road surface or on the shoulder of the road. The same applies to damage occurring when stones are thrown up, striking the underside of the vehicle during driving.

i. Damage resulting from driving in places where vehicle traffic is banned, such as on paths, tracks, banks of snow, ice, unbridged rivers or streams, beaches, places only accessible at low tide, or other trackless areas. However, payment of an own risk fee will cover damage due to the driver being forced to leave the road, e.g., due to road repairs.

j. Damage to vehicles that occur when driving on roads marked F on official maps.

k. Damage caused by sand, gravel, ash, pumice, or other kind of earth material being blown onto the vehicle.

l. If the vehicle is transported by sea, a payment of an own risk fee does not cover damage caused by sea spray/seawater.

m. Water damage to engine of the vehicle.

29) Should the Lessor utilize these rights as aforementioned, it has no effect on the Renter´s obligation to pay the rental fee, or other obligations of the Renter under this rental agreement. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Lessor´s re-renting of the vehicle to a third party shall be deducted from the amount of the rental fee payable by the Renter, to the extent as the rental term of this rental agreement and the rental agreement made with a third party are the same, and to the extent rental fee from a third party covers the rental fee of the Renter per that period of time.

30) The Lessor is authorized to charge to the Renter´s credit card the rental fee and other payments that the Renter is obliged to pay under this rental agreement, including, but not limited to, payments due to damage to the vehicle which occur whilst the vehicle is under the responsibility of the Renter, and the Lessor shall alone have the discretion as to when that shall be done, and whether it is done all at once or not.
