  The customers undertake to pay the cost of rental.

  The estimated cost of rental and additional services is to be paid in advance. It includes: price of rental of the vehicle, calculated according to the prices current at the time of rental; any possible charges or optional additional costs accepted by the customer, the different contributions to insurance policies or complementary insurances taken out; the total increased by 20%, to which the security deposit and the estimate petrol service.
  If the security deposit and the rental are paid for by means of a credit card accepted by the renter, the customer gives permission to the renter to deduct the estimated amount of rental and to hold on cardholder’s bank account at the time of delivery an amount corresponding to the total probable obligations deriving from the rental contract. When the vehicle is return at the end of the rental contract, the amount of a possible overrun of the anticipated payment will be automatically deducted from the security deposit provided. The renter is also authorised to correct subsequently the obligations of the customer deriving from the rental contract and relating to the latter (such as the cost of recovery, petrol, repairs) by using the means of payment made available for the covering of the costs of rental and the security deposit. The customer thus effectively accepts to be debited on his current account the amount of the non-redeemable excess charge and of other expenses in the event of damage or theft of the hired vehicle. The final invoice will be considered approved if the customer does not object to it in writing within 30 days
  In the event of non-payment by the due date shown on the invoice, the customer will be indebted, after formal notice, for payment of late payment interest on the due amount at the legal rate with an extra 50% added. The customer accepts that failing to pay any invoice by the due date or any unpaid debts will render all outstanding invoices due immediately and will authorise the renter to require immediate return of any vehicles still on rent.

  In the event of an accident, with or without a third party, you will have to fill in an automobile accident report and hand it over at your EUROPCAR Maroc hire car station within 48 hours.
  In the event of theft of the vehicle or damages caused to it, or in the absence of responsibility of a third party, you must fully indemnify the renter with an indemnification equal to the harm actually suffered (amount estimated by an expert of the expectable cost of repairs or monetary value of the vehicle and, if necessary, immobilisation fees, administrative fees,...).
  From the end of rental, in the event of damage or theft, an amount equivalent to the non-redeemable excess charge will be invoiced to you (see tariff brochures).
  Should the harm suffered by the renter be reduced (discovery of the vehicle within 30 days, partial or total liability on the part of a third party…), the customer/s will be reimbursed an amount equal to this reduction.
  This liability is limited if you have taken out the “reduced liability” policy in the event of damage and/or theft expounded in the paragraph below.
  The renter has no liability whatsoever towards the customer or any third parties in case of accidents or damages produced during the rental period. Also, the renter is not responsible for those damages caused by defects on the vehicle resulting from manufacturing, technical control or administrative faults in the due dates communicated by the renter.

  7.2 Optional Contractual Guarantees
  ATTENTION
  ALL THE FOLLOWING GUARANTEES ARE ONLY APPLICABLE ON THE TERRITORY (see Article 1-Definitions and General Notions), FOR THE DURATION OF THE RENTAL AGREEMENT AND SUBJECT TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TERMS OF ARTICLES 2, 3-2, 3-3, 4 OF THE PRESENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
  In order to reduce your liability on the amount of the non-redeemable excess charge, you have the option of taking out the contractual guarantee in the event of damage/loss (LDW, SLDW mentioned or ticked on the contract), via payment of a flat faire per rental day. Some of our tariffs include this guarantee.
  Even if you opted for this possibility, you will be invoiced, for each accident, the amount of the LDW non-redeemable excess charge or SLDW fixed excess charge, variable depending on the category of the vehicle, and indicated on the 'Rental Guide' made available to you at all EUROPCAR Maroc car hire stations and on the contract, at the beginning of your rental.
  If the amount of the harm suffered by the renter is below this amount, only the actual amount of the harm will be due.
  If your responsibility is completely cleared, and as soon as reimbursement is received from the third party, this amount will be returned to you in full.

  ATTENTION : You are responsible for the vehicle that has been entrusted to you.
  Thus, in the event of loss/theft of the vehicle and accessories or damages caused to it because of you, or in the absence of responsibility of a third party (fortuitous accident, while car parked, collision against animal crossing the road, cart, non-automobile vehicle, …), you will have to make a declaration stating the causes and circumstances, and indemnify the renter with an amount equal to the SLDW excess charge or the SLDW excess charge if taken out, or of the harm suffered if it is inferior to the due excess charge or the total amount of the harm suffered in case of exclusion of the 'Damage/Loss' policy
