All host (owners of the vehicles) must have insurance as required by law before listing their vehicles in Aircnr platform. All vehicles should have an insurance policy that covers the vehicle for the renter or authorized driver up to the financial responsibility limits of the applicable jurisdiction. We highly encourage all host to check with the vehicle’s insurance company to determine the level of the vehicle’s protection under their policy and make sure it is suited for peer to peer use. Keep in mind that this insurance policy will change and this is only a temporary solution into a partnership with an insurance carrier is secured/implemented in Aircnr’s platform.

Aircnr empowers the host to a new level with vehicle insurance. Aircnr offer host the ability to make additional income from insurance. Keep in mind that although labeled as insurance fee, this is not the selling of insurance to guest (renters). This is just a daily fee to help cover the host’s insurance monthly rate that is optional for host to set up. Host of Aircnr can charge an additional fee for insurance of their vehicles to their guest at a daily basis in order to; supplement the payment of the vehicle’s insurance policy, make additional income to compensate for risk, and empower the host to fully take revenue advantage. This being said, the Aircnr’s host (the owner of the vehicle) is responsible for all damages or theft of their own vehicle. However, if the guest (the renter) does not follow the program rules or drives recklessly, the guest will be responsible for all damages. Keep in mind that this insurance policy is only temporary and it is subject to change.

In Case of an Accident; Guest (renters)

In case of an accident, first, contact first responders, the police (911). Take pictures of the accident, damage, or situation of the vehicle. Make sure to collect the contact and insurance information of the other vehicle and driver as well as the police report if possible. Then contact your host (owner of the vehicle) and explain the situation with the images and information so that he can file a claim with his insurance company. If you (the guest/renter) drove the vehicle within the law, in accordance with the program rules, and in a safe manner you will not be charged and the claim will fall into the host (owner of the vehicle). However, if you (the guest/renter) did not follow the program rules, drove recklessly, or did not follow the law you (the guest/renter) will be responsible for all damages to the vehicle and you must file the claim under your insurance policy. Assuming you drove under the law, in accordance with the program, and in a safe manner; in case an accident happens before the end of the trip, if applicable, your host insurance policy should have a temporary rental vehicle while the damaged vehicle is on repairs. If so, contact your host for a possibility of completing the trip with the rental vehicle. If not, your money will be lost and refunds of any type will not be applicable.

In Case of an Accident; Host (owner of the vehicle)

In case of an accident, guest will contact you and inform you of the situation. Once you obtain the police report, if the guest (renter) drove in accordance with the program, in a safe manner, and did not broke the law, file a claim with your insurance company and follow procedures.
