THIRD PARTY PROPERTY AND INJURY INSURANCE COVER
Third Party Property Liability Insurance is automatically covered under a third party property damage Master Policy executed by Hertz and is subject to the renter complying with all Terms and Conditions of the rental and payment of the Accident Damages Excess. Third Party Liability cover for personal injury is governed by separate Government legislation in each Australian State and Territory. The right to claim may be limited by the legislation and excesses may apply.

There are many factors relevant to the determination of which third party liability cover for personal injury will apply in the event of an accident, such as the state or territory in which a vehicle is registered, the state or territory in which the accident occurs and the state or territory in which another driver or injured person resides. Should an accident in which a person is injured occur, the renter should contact the police, Hertz and the insurer of the state or territory in which the hired vehicle is registered.

This summary of the cover available throughout Australia is meant as a guide only and no warranty of accuracy or reliability is given or responsibility accepted by Hertz for the information contained below. In the event of an accident, the renter should make independent enquiries of the relevant insurer of the vehicle.
