• Damage caused by intent or negligence

• Damage from using the wrong fuel

• Damage due to breach of terms of the contract

Full Damage Waiver (FDW): The renter can reduce their liability to the minimum guarantee (FDW) by paying an additional charge as shown below:

THEFT (TPC), DAMAGE (CDW), etc.

The renter is responsible for compensating SELECTA and any third parties in case of theft, loss, or damage to the vehicle or third parties (including passengers). Specifically:

a. The renter is liable for all damages to the vehicle or third parties if they violated any terms of the agreement or drove the vehicle in an illegal manner or contrary to traffic laws.

b. The renter is liable for partial or total theft or loss of the vehicle unless SELECTA has released them from responsibility for total theft or loss. This release applies if the renter has accepted the daily charge and the theft coverage terms. This exemption applies provided the Lessee has already acknowledged the terms for “Theft Coverage” (TPC) of the Vehicle at the start of the rental, as these terms are interpreted in the official catalog of the Lessor, by ticking the corresponding box with the indication “Accept” on the front side of this agreement, and provided the Lessee has taken all precautions to prevent total theft or loss of the Vehicle and has used it in accordance with the terms of this agreement. It is explicitly agreed that theft or loss of parts, components, or equipment (partial theft) of the Vehicle is not covered by the above “Theft Coverage” (TPC) acceptance. It is noted that in the event of total theft, the Lessee must provide the vehicle key to the Lessor for the terms and conditions of the Liability Waiver to apply as defined in the official rate list of the Company.

c. The Lessee is responsible for any damage to the Vehicle due to collision or fire, unless the Lessee has accepted the “Collision Damage Waiver” (CDW) by ticking the corresponding box with the indication “Accept” on the front side of this agreement and paying the corresponding daily charge. This “Collision Damage Waiver” (CDW) does not exempt the Lessee if the Vehicle was not used according to the terms of this agreement and specifically according to the usage terms (Article 7) of this agreement. Even if the Lessee has accepted the “Collision Damage Waiver” (CDW), there is a minimum charge for restoring the cost of damage, as determined by the official rate list of the Lessor or as indicated on the front of this agreement, unless the Lessee has accepted the “Full Liability Waiver” (FDW) by ticking the corresponding box with the indication “Accept” and paying the corresponding daily charge. It is explicitly agreed that: The above “Collision Damage Waiver” (CDW) or the “Full Liability Waiver” (FDW) does not cover damages caused: To the underside of the Vehicle, to the tires and wheels of the Vehicle (in the case of tire replacement by the Lessee due to misuse, the cost of the damage will be calculated based on a pair of tires and fully charged to the Lessee), to windows, exterior mirrors, the underside of the vehicle, the vehicle’s interior, roof, engine, damage to the locks, loss of vehicle keys, windshield wipers, to the antenna, during loading, unloading, or transporting the Vehicle on ships, trains, or other transport means without prior written consent from the Lessor. It is emphasized that although the Lessee may have selected “Full Liability Waiver” (FDW), no insurance coverage applies in the event of damage caused intentionally, negligently, by wrong fuel usage, by breach of contract terms, terrorist acts, natural disasters, or while the vehicle was transferring by ship. The above cases are the responsibility of the Lessee, and damage costs will be calculated via the certified DAT HELLAS program, in accordance with the current procedures and updated pricing policies. In the case of an accident or damage to the mechanical and peripheral parts of the vehicle that makes it unsafe to operate, SELECTA offers a replacement vehicle based on availability within 48 hours from the initial notification from the Lessee by any means.
