Travel Insurance We strongly recommend that renters ensure they take out the highest level of Travel Insurance.
PROTECTION PACKAGE
Public Liability Insurance: The public liability insurance is included in the daily rental rate. Apollo is insured for damages to third parties and/or their property up to a limit of US$1 million. The public liability insurance that covers the registered drivers is only up to the statutory limit as stipulated by law of the State you are in at the time. This insurance amount is normally very low.
Top Service Inclusion: Apollo has included an additional SLI third party insurance policy in the rental rates which increases the driver’s public liability insurance level to US$1 million – well above the statutory limits.
The maximum SLI insurance covers claims made by third parties against the rental company or the renter of the motorhome (for damage to third parties or their property). Passengers in the rented motorhome are not counted as third parties and the driver is therefore not insured for claims brought by them against him/herself.
Property Damage The renter is responsible up to the amount of $1,000 for the cost of damage to the rented Vehicle. The renter is also responsible for the cost of demurrage for the period the Vehicle is unavailable due to repairs. The Liability applies in respect of each claim, not per rental. The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Apollo, not at the completion of the rental Period.
