Customer understands, acknowledges, and agrees that pursuant to Florida Statute § 627.7263, the insurance policy covering the renter
(or any authorized driver) shall be primary coverage in the event of any loss, damage, or liability incurred during the rental period,
unless otherwise agreed in writing. Renter affirms they carry active full coverage auto insurance and accept that their policy will
respond first to any claims or damages.
THE VALID AND COLLECTIBLE LIABILITY INSURANCE AND PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION INSURANCE OF ANY
AUTHORIZED RENTAL OR LEASING DRIVER IS PRIMARY FOR THE LIMITS OF LIABILITY AND PERSONAL INJURY
PROTECTION COVERAGE REQUIRED BY SECTIONS 324.021(7) AND 627.736, FLORIDA STATUTES.
Customer is contractually incurring liability by agreeing to shift primary liability for this rental/leased/loaner vehicle to the Customer’s insurance carrier while such vehicle is in Customer’s possession and control. Once Customer reads and signs this Agreement, Customer’s automobile insurance becomes the primary liability insurance up to its full policy limits whether or not Customer’s insurance policy contains a provision prohibiting such shifting of insurance coverage. Customer has been given an opportunity to inspect the Vehicle and note directly below any damage to the Vehicle prior to taking
possession of the Vehicle:
Pre-Rental Damage Noted by Customer:
If Customer fails or chooses not to inspect the Vehicle prior to entering into this agreement, then Customer hereby knowingly,
voluntarily and willingly waives their right to claim and/or assert as a defense that the damage existed prior to taking possession.
Customer agrees to indemnify and hold MD Premier Rentals harmless and pay all costs to defend all claims arising out of or relating
to Customer’s use of the Vehicle while in their possession or control.
Customer shall assist MD Premier Rentals and pay all costs to obtain release of the Vehicle if it is impounded or immobilized during
the rental.
Although Customer may have their own automobile insurance, they understand that to the extent their carrier does not cover all claims
or damages, they will remain personally responsible for the balance.
Customers agree to pay for all traffic and parking tickets incurred while the vehicle is in their possession.
Customer agrees not to allow any other person to operate the Vehicle unless authorized in writing by MD Premier Rentals.
Customer agrees not to use the Vehicle negligently or illegally and will not operate it under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
In the event of an accident, Customer agrees to immediately notify MD Premier Rentals and obtain a police report at the scene,
providing all related information. Upon return, an MD Premier Rentals representative will inspect the vehicle for damage or excessive wear. The customer agrees to pay the repair costs and any loss in value within 48 hours of receiving a written report. Customers affirm they have not had more than two minor traffic violations in the past 3 years and have never been convicted of reckless driving or DUI.
If Customer has left another vehicle with MD Premier Rentals as part of the rental transaction, Customer grants MD Premier Rentals a
lien on that vehicle and the right to retain or sell it if payment owed under this agreement is not made within 15 days of written
demand. Proceeds will be applied to the outstanding balance.
Customer knowingly, willingly, voluntarily, and IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY for any claims
arising from this Agreement, including the shifting of insurance liability to Customer’s insurer.
