Vehicle condition
By signing the contract & agreement, the Renter accepts the Vehicle in the state in which it is and undertakes to return it in the same state. A descriptive statement of the Vehicle is attached to the contract. It signals any damage apparent to the Vehicle, the number of kilometers traveled by the Vehicle and the level of fuel.
The Renter undertakes to check that the condition of the Vehicle corresponds to the description and to write a contradictory report if necessary before leaving. Failing this, the rented Vehicle will be considered as conforming to the description. Nomádico will not be able to take any account of complaints concerning visible damage which will not have been reported on the description.
Nomádico provides the Renter with a Vehicle filled with a certain amount of fuel. The Renter has to give back the Vehicle with the same amount of fuel. Failing this, the missing fuel will be invoiced to the Renter on his return.
Maintenance
Routine maintenance of the vehicle is the responsibility of the Renter. Thus, depending on the number of kilometers traveled during the rental, the Renter will have to carry out the usual checks (engine oil level, tire pressure, etc.). The Renter must always remain vigilant to the signals emitted by the warning lights, and take the associated measures such as a possible emergency stop.
Breakdowns, accidents & thefts
In the event of a breakdown of the Vehicle or an accident requiring immediate or urgent repairs, the Renter must contact Nomádico Pxm before carrying out any repairs (including if it concerns tires).
In the event of a breakdown or damage suffered by the Vehicle, even when they do not require immediate repair, the Renter must inform Nomádico Pxm within 12 hours of becoming aware of it.
The submission of a completed statement, signed by a federal police officer who came to record the accident as well as the identified third party, whether the Renter is responsible or not is mandatory. Failing this, it is impossible to submit a report within this period, the insurance and assistance guarantees referred to herein are inapplicable and the Renter will be liable for all damages incurred by him. In particular those suffered by the Vehicle within the limit of their market value and the costs related to its immobilization.
In any case, in the event of damage caused to the Vehicle, the Renter will be liable for file processing costs and immobilization costs calculated according to the category of the Vehicle, refundable in the event that his responsibility is not engaged.
In the event of a breakdown not attributable to the Renter, Nomádico undertakes to cover all the costs of breakdown assistance and repair of the Vehicle, as well as to reimburse the Renter the full amount relating to the unused rental days.
In the event of theft of the Vehicle, the Renter must, within 12 (twelve) hours from the time he becomes aware of it, make a declaration of theft to the competent authorities and submit to Nomádico the report of the filing of the complaint, the papers and keys to the vehicle.
In the event of the theft of the keys and/or papers of the Vehicle, the Renter must ensure that it is reported to the competent authorities so that this appears in the complaint filed.
In the absence of compliance with these provisions, the Renter will be liable for all damages attributable, in particular those suffered by the vehicle within the limit of its market value and costs related to its immobilization.
Insurance
Basic coverage
Nomádico Pxm proposes to the Renter a basic coverage policy. Below what is included:
- damage and theft protection with a standard deductible (20% of the vehicle’s value),
- civil liability for damages to third parties,
- occupant medical expenses,
- legal expenses,
- insurance road assistance,
- unlimited mileage,
- free additional drivers,
- GPS tracker.
However, in the event of damage or total theft of the vehicle, the Renter will be responsible for costs up to the basic maximum liability limit (“max to pay”) corresponding to the rented vehicle category (please refer to the Security Deposit & Maximum Liability Table below). Please note that this Basic coverage does not include flat tires, broken windows, or key loss. Furthermore, the Renter remains fully responsible for 100% of the costs related to any damages, loss, or theft of the rooftop tents, camping gear, and various equipment included in the rental.
Comfort coverage
Nomádico Pxm proposes to the Renter a comfort coverage policy. The Renter can add this option while making the booking. Below what is included:
- damage waiver with a 10% deductible,
- theft protection with a 10% deductible,
- civil liability for damages to third parties,
- occupant medical expenses,
- legal expenses,
- insurance road assistance,
- unlimited mileage,
- free additional drivers,
- flat tires,
- broken windows (only for cars),
- GPS tracker with panic button (only for cars).
This coverage significantly reduces the security deposit and limits the Renter’s financial risk in case of damages or theft, capping the costs up to the comfort maximum liability limit (please refer to the Table below). Damages to rooftop tents, camping gear, and other camper equipment are not covered by the Insurance. No guarantee is offered in this respect. Consequently, the Renter will be fully liable for all damages attributable to the equipment up to the limit of the product’s invoice.
Full coverage
Nomádico Pxm proposes to the Renter a full coverage policy for total peace of mind. The Renter can add this option while making the booking. Below what is included:
- $0 deductible for vehicle body damages,
- theft protection with maximum reduction,
- civil liability for damages to third parties,
- occupant medical expenses,
- legal expenses,
- insurance road assistance,
- unlimited mileage,
- free additional drivers,
- flat tires,
- broken windows & windshield (only for cars),
- GPS tracker with panic button (only for cars).
Under this coverage, the Renter has $0 liability for accidental vehicle body damages and benefits from the lowest possible security deposit. In the event of total vehicle theft, a reduced maximum liability cap applies (please refer to the Table below).
CRITICAL REQUIREMENT: In the event of total vehicle theft under Full Protection, the reduced liability cap applies ONLY if the Renter immediately delivers both the official original vehicle keys and the official police report (denuncia) to Nomádico Pxm. If keys or the police report are not provided, Full Protection for theft is invalidated, and the Renter will be held liable for the full market value of the vehicle. As with all other plans, damages to rooftop tents and camper equipment remain excluded and are the 100% responsibility of the Renter.
Important Note: Invalidity of Coverage (Voiding of Insurance)
All insurance options (Basic, Comfort, and Full Protection) will be rendered completely null and void, and the Renter will assume 100% full financial and legal responsibility for the total value of the vehicle, damages, theft, and third-party liabilities, in the event of any of the following:
- Impaired & Illegal Driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, narcotics, or any medication that impairs driving abilities.
