5. Damages; Damage Fee; Collision Damage Waivers
5.A – Damages Generally: A Member is responsible for any and all damage that occurs to a Kendall Go vehicle while in the Member’s possession or control (including the entire time the vehicle is reserved under the Member’s account), even if damage is weather-related, caused by a third party or arises from similar causes. The Member is also responsible for the full value of any damages or injuries caused to third parties or their property. Such damages include, without limitation, the repair costs (estimated or actual) for the Kendall Go vehicle and third-party property, injuries to third parties, costs associated with the recovery or transportation of Kendall Go vehicles, and the loss of use of Kendall Go vehicles or third-party property. However, as described in clause 6 below, Kendall Go provides insurance that, in general, covers most damages arising from a member’s use of Kendall Go vehicles and the Member’s liability for damages will generally be limited to the Insurance Excess Fee described in clause 5.B below. If, however, a member fails to abide by the terms and conditions of this Contract, the insurance coverage Kendall Go provides may not apply, which may make the Member responsible for the full cost of any accident or incident and any damage arising from such accident or incident.
5.B – Insurance Excess Fee: Assuming a Member’s compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Contract, the Member’s responsibility for the damages described in clause 5.A shall be limited to the Insurance Excess (the “Insurance Excess Fee”) associated with the Member’s driving/membership plan and/or the type of Kendall Go vehicle used by the Member in the amount as set out in Sub-section 3: Membership and Driving Rates. Members will be responsible for up to the full amount of the Insurance Excess Fee for actual, estimated, or projected expenses, whether or not an actual claim is made or processed, unless the Member has purchased a Collison Damage Waiver (“CDW”).
S.b1 – Windscreen Damage Insurance. This provides cover for the damage to the front windscreen only from stone impact or other road debris and is subject to a standard £75.00 windscreen insurance excess. Other causes such as and not limited to malicious damage, weather conditions attempted theft are not covered by the windscreen insurance and are subject to the insurance excess applicable for either accident, incident or theft as indicated in this contract. All other glass is excluded from front windscreen insurance.
5.b2 – Theft Protection Insurance. This cover provides against the theft of the vehicle and or attempted theft of the vehicle to include damage to any of the vehicle’s doors in an attempt to gain entry to any aspect of the vehicle, to include parts or spare parts of the vehicle including but not limited to insignia, wheels, catalytic convertors and all or any parts or spare parts. You are responsible for the first £1000 of each and every loss or the sum of repair costs if they fall below the excess of £1000. CDW (Collision Damage & Loss Reduction Waiver) does not apply to vehicle theft with the exception of loss of use charges and does not reduce the theft excess of £1000.
There is no theft cover if the vehicle has not been securely locked, and you have not removed the key.
- If a theft of the vehicle occurs you must report the loss to the hire branch or breakdown number and then without delay contact the Police and report the theft to obtain a crime reference number.
- If a theft of the vehicle occurs you must return the key to the vehicle hire branch immediately. Without the key any theft will be considered negligent and is your full responsibility.
- Items and goods left in the vehicle are not covered by the insurance.
5.C – Collison Damage Waivers: For an additional charge, Kendall Go Members have the option to purchase a Collison Damage Waiver (“CDW”) to reduce their financial responsibility for damages arising from the Members use of Kendall Go vehicles. The purchase of a CDW is optional and may be declined. A CDW is not insurance and does not provide or alter insurance coverage.
If a member purchases a CDW, Kendall Go will waive that Member’s responsibility for a portion of the applicable Insurance Excess Fee. A CDW applies only to the specific Member purchasing the CDW. The purchase of a CDW is non-refundable.
The cost of the CDW will vary based upon, among other things, the term/type of CDW purchased (monthly or per reservation), Insurance excess reduction amount, membership location, driving experience and similar factors. For monthly waivers, the CDW is limited to the period stated at the time of purchase; after which, if you elect not to renew or repurchase or cancel a CDW, you will be once again responsible for the full Insurance Excess Fee. A per reservation CDW applies only to the specific reservation for which it is purchased and is not transferable in any manner.
The reduction of liability for the Insurance Excess Fee through the purchase of a CDW will not apply, and previously purchased CDW may be terminated by Kendall’s Go, if you (1) use the vehicle in violation of this Contract, including if you permit any other person to drive a Kendall Go vehicle, engage in any prohibited use of a Kendall Go vehicle or, purposely or through negligence (e.g. by putting the wrong type of fuel in a vehicle), damage a Kendall Go vehicle or third party property; (2) have had your membership suspended or terminated by Kendall Go and/or have three at fault incidents in a Kendall Go vehicle involving property damage or any third party within 12 months; (3) fail to close and lock all windows, doors, the bonnet and boot and the vehicle is stolen, damaged or vandalized; (4) fail to notify Kendall Go immediately after an accident or loss by calling our incident number on 0333 207 9654; or (5) fail to pay any other amount due under this Contract.
