In the event that the rental vehicle is involved in an accident or sustains damage due to the fault of the renter, the amount payable is capped at the excess applicable to that vehicle type under this agreement. Any damage above this amount is covered by the rental company. CDW insurance does not cover: any person driving the vehicle who is not named in this agreement, damage caused by negligence or intent, incorrect fuel usage, breach of contract terms, or damage to tyres, rims, mirrors, glass, the interior, the undercarriage of the vehicle, or the clutch. For damage to these parts, the renter bears full responsibility without exception and is liable for the total cost of repair or replacement.
