A state employee rented a car and was involved in an automobile accident. Does Risk Management adjust the claim?
No. If the rental car was rented from one of the automobile rental agencies under contract with the state and was paid for using the American Express Corporate charge card or the blue Department of General Services charge card, the rental company will assume responsibility for any damage to their vehicle and provide the first $500,000 in liability insurance coverage. In most circumstances this would mean you report the accident to the rental car company, turn in the key, and walk away. You also need to file a vehicle accident report form (Std. 270) when you return to campus. It should be noted that third party liability insurance coverage and indemnification is provided by the rental agency EXCEPT when the loss or damage is caused by one or more of the following: • Operation of the vehicle by a driver who contributed to the accident while (and has been adjudged by the courts to have been) under the influence of alcohol (in excess of the legal limits) or any illegal non-prescription dru
