When damage to a unit is a result of negligent or careless behaviour, basic insurance is considered void (including third party coverage,) and the renter is responsible for 100% of repair or replacement costs to their rented units, including but not limited to rental loss, and cost of third party property that may have been damaged due to the driver’s negligent behaviour. Negligent or careless behaviour/driving includes, but is not limited to: hit and run, roof damage due to height restrictions, undercarriage damage, driving under the influence, traffic violations (i.e. running red lights, excessive speed, etc.,) travelling in restricted areas, operation of towing vehicle connected to unit by anyone not listed on the rental agreement, unreported damage.
