INSURANCE:
*Uninsured or under-insured motorist or motor vehicle coverage or supplemental "no fault" or any other optional coverage is not provided, unless such coverage is imposed by the law of the state in which the vehicle is rented in spite of the terms of the rental agreement in which case they shall be, if imposed, in the minimum limits required by applicable law. To the extent permitted by law, Thrifty, Company and the renter reject the inclusion of any such coverage. Any protection against third-party automobile liability claims provided to renters under this Agreement will be provided under a certificate of self-insurance, an insurance policy, and/or an indemnification, as Thrifty chooses.

 

SMOKING:
*Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group has instituted a new nationwide no-smoking policy, including our Hawaii locations, for ALL vehicles in our fleet. Effective on January 6, 2010 when picking up their vehicle, each renter will be asked to sign the Rental Agreement which will include the following statement: By selecting the "Accept" button below, I confirm that I understand that Dollar/Thrifty prohibits smoking in the rental vehicle. I agree that I may be liable for a charge of up to $250 if anyone smokes in the vehicle during the term of my rental.
