Vehicle insurance
The CDW/VIP vehicle insurance is included in the rental rate for all vehicles. This insurance reduces the renter's personal level of risk/excess to US$ 1,000 (per incident) if damage occurs (any damage to the rental vehicle, regardless of how and who causes it and including if the renter is not at fault). Exceptions: damage situations that are not covered by the insurance are stated below under the heading 'Insurance Exclusions'.
There are no additional insurance options available which further reduce the excess.

The insurance covers but is not limited to:
- vehicle accident
- 'Uninsured Motorist' in case the renter is involved in an accident with a non-insured driver
- damage to the windscreen or other glass
- fire (personal property is always excluded and not insured)
- vandalism
- theft (exceptions: (a) theft of the vehicle in the cities of New York, Montreal, Quebec city, even if the vehicle is parked in an area with surveillance: the renter is required to reimburse the rental company for the full value of the vehicle; (b) personal property is always excluded and not insured

Public liability insurance
The public liability insurance is included in the daily rental rate. The vehicle and the rental company are insured for damages to third parties and/or their property up to a limit of US$ 1 million (no excess).
However, the public liability insurance that covers the registered drivers is separate and only provides cover for the driver up to the statutory limit as stipulated by law of the state you are in at the time of any incident. The upper limit of this insurance cover is normally very low. In order to increase this upper limit you should purchase the SLI insurance option that is available to you locally.

Additional insurance option
You have the option of purchasing the Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) locally for US$ 10 per day plus local taxes. The SLI insurance increases the public liability insurance cover for the registered drivers from the low statutory limit that applies in the USA up to a maximum of US$ 1 million.

The maximum level of each public liability insurance policy covers claims made by third parties against the rental company or the renter of the motorhome (in the case of third parties or their property). Passengers in the rental vehicle are not counted as third parties and the driver is therefore not insured for claims brought by them against him/herself.

As part of the VIP insurance Road Bear covers accident-related costs that result from technical vehicle problems. For further details please refer to the section 'Miscellaneous': Breakdowns & Repairs.

If damage occurs as a result of illegal or dangerous driving or if the renter drives outside of the guidelines of the rental agreement no insurance will be provided. Please see below under 'Insurance Exclusions' for further details.

The deposit of US$ 1,000 which you are required to provide when you pick up the vehicle applies for each incident of damage. Even if you purchase an additional insurance option locally a security deposit is still required at pick-up time by the rental company.

The deposit must be provided by credit card (Mastercard, Visa, American Express) and for bookings up to 29 nights the rental company will authorise the amount by freezing the amount, thereby reducing your credit limit. However, the amount is not deducted. For reservations 30 nights and longer the amount will be charged on the credit card. The deposit will be charged back to you as long as you return the vehicle in the same state with which you received it.
Pre-paid credit cards are not accepted.

During the special event of 'Burning Man' (20 Aug to 28 Aug 18) Road Bear charges US$ 1,500. And also during similar festivals/events Road Bear reserves the right to charge an additional or higher security deposit amount.

Neither the rental company nor the tour operator is liable to pay any cost differences that occur between the cost of the deducted bond and the reimbursement resulting from foreign exchange fluctuations or external fees.

Please ensure you have enough credit available on your credit card.
The deposit applies for each and any incident where the rental vehicle or the property of a third party is damaged regardless of the customer being at fault or not. In such cases an additional US$ 2,000 will be charged on the credit card and reimbursed at drop-off.

The excess of US$ 1,000 (US$ 1,500 during 'Burning Man') is always banked in the first instance if an accident occurs, regardless of who is at fault and is owed to the rental company by the renter. The excess is refunded as soon as the rental company receives a payment from a third party where it is clear that this third party was at fault (this can take quite a while). The excess is deducted every time an accident occurs.

All insurance cover is null and void if the terms of the Road Bear RV rental agreement are breached. Any damage that is caused when the renter acts outside of the rental company conditions is not covered by the insurance.

Any water and/or saltwater related damage where the renter is at fault is not covered by the insurance. The insurance does not cover damage in the case of any vehicle submersion, the vehicle being stranded in a water area, driving through causeways or beach driving.

Any personal property that is damaged or stolen during an accident, vandalism or a theft is not insured. Private insurance should be purchased in your home country to cover any such issues. In order to avoid theft of personal items from the vehicle it is advised not to leave any valuable items in the vehicle.

In the cases listed below the renter is fully liable for damage to the rental vehicle and third-party property, i.e. no insurance cover whatsoever is provided:
- water/saltwater-related damage as outlined above
- activities that are in breach of the rental agreement conditions or local law, e.g. driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or dangerous driving (especially with regard to trailers and camping appendages)
- any damage caused through renter's negligence, e.g. backing up without a guide, following incorrect GPS guidances, etc.
- damage to the interior of the vehicle
- any damage to the slide-out apparatus
- damage caused by the use of the wrong fuel or when water or oil, etc are not topped up to minimum required levels (causing overheating, frost damage, etc) or where warning signals in the vehicle are ignored
- costs that arise for towing and recovery of vehicles that have been stranded or submerged as a result of the driver's actions
- repairs and towing costs that are incurred because of driving on restricted roads or areas or damage resulting from "off-road" usage
- costs incurred if vehicle keys are either lost or locked in the vehicle
- damage caused as a result of people using the vehicle without the permission of the rental company (not registered in rental agreement)
- if more passengers are in the car than the maximum number allowed (maximum number of seatbelts)
- damages and injuries caused by overloading the vehicle and/or exceeding the legal towing capacity
- if any member of the rental party deliberately or willfully damages any part of the vehicle

The renter is liable for any fees, costs, fines or penalties that occur during his/her use of the rental vehicle unless any such costs that have arisen are the fault of the rental company.
Where speeding tickets and parking fines and/or accidents (that have not been mentioned to the rental company) come to light, the rental company reserves the right to invoice the customer for these costs in arrears as well as a processing fee of US$ 100 or charge their credit card.

The insurance options offered by the rental company do not include luggage insurance, nor do they include cover for any damage to the driver or passengers. It is therefore recommended to obtain travel insurance that covers accidents, sickness and loss of luggage prior to departure.

A valid Australian, New Zealand, UK or European license is valid for use in the USA as long as the details are provided in English. If the license does not provide all information in English, an international driver's license is also required in addition to the national driver´s license.

The minimum age for registered drivers is 25 years. Drivers aged 21-24 are allowed on request only. The maximum age for drivers is 79 years.

Additional drivers can be registered at the time of vehicle collection at no extra cost. Anyone wanting to drive the motorhome must have their details entered in the rental agreement.

Before you can collect your vehicle you are required to present a valid driver's license, credit card, your passport as well as the Motorhome Bookers voucher at the depot. If you forget your voucher you will not be able to collect your motorhome.

Please note that the renter is liable for any damage to the vehicle resulting from frost, exposure to the cold, freezing of the tanks, damage to the warm water tanks and connections and no insurance cover is provided in such instances.

Roadbear will provide your vehicle in a winterised state if you pick up in a region where the temperature is likely to go below zero degrees. Every rental vehicle has to be 'winterised' between the months of November and April (this period can vary depending on current weather conditions).

If it is likely that you will experience temperature levels below zero, all connections such as water and chemical tanks should be emptied. If frost temperatures are expected the rental depot the rental depot will have already winterized the vehicle by emptying the water to avoid freezing, etc prior to your departure. By winterised we mean that the water has to be emptied out of all water tanks. Following this it is not permitted to pour any more water into the fresh water tank and none of the water connections can be used any more. No water in the vehicle is available for use.
The renter is then required to purchase his/her own bottled water (e.g. drinking water) and to cover these costs him/herself.

The basins, sink, showers and toilets can no longer be used. However, the toilet can be partially flushed as long as only the windscreen wiper anti-frost fluid is used. If there is a heavy frost the toilet should not even be flushed like this and you will need to use public toilets.
The renter bears all responsibility for ensuring the vehicle remains winterised and for returning the vehicle in this state if the vehicle was collected in a warmer region such that the vehicle was not winterised or if this state is altered during the rental period. If the renter does not adhere to these guidelines - regardless of what weather conditions are present at drop-off time, a fee will be charged and the bond will be withheld until the vehicle is again winterised by a specialist and returned to the rental company.

The renter will be held responsible for any costs resulting from the vehicle being damaged such as when the tanks, engine elements and pipes are damaged due to freezing, frost, etc. In such cases there is no insurance cover.
Please allow for the fact - when planning out your route, that camping grounds in certain areas may close during the winter. Some roads, especially in alpine areas may also be closed for driving or may be simply too dangerous to drive on.

However, they reserve the right, due to unforeseen circumstances, to provide either a vehicle of the same or a higher value without upgrade costs if the model booked is not available for any reason.

Even though all vehicles have similar equipment and designs small differences in vehicle design may exist. All measurements and size indications are approximate values and are based on the information provided to us by the rental company. We accept no responsibility for any mistakes or human error in the provision of these details. Such information on our website can be changed at any time without prior notice.

Even in the case of minor damage the renter is required to provide a detailed written report and sketch to Road Bear outlining the situation.

Any repairs can only be reimbursed upon presentation of a receipt.

If the vehicle is out of action (due to a mechanical breakdown*, not an accident) for longer than 12 working hours - and this not being the fault of the renter, Road Bear will - as part of the VIP insurance, reimburse the daily rental rates (or a percentage of this) for the time the vehicle is out of action but no other costs. If the customer has taken the VIP insurance Road Bear will also pay US$ 25 per person per day to cover any necessary accommodation and meal costs. US$ 50 will be paid per vehicle per day for transport costs up to a maximum of US$ 1,500.
