In addition, Zipcar may at any time require Members to demonstrate compliance with the licencing laws of their jurisdiction of residence and/or impose further policies regarding the obligation to be licenced in their jurisdiction of residence. Zipcar reserves the right to request additional information, such as a copy of a passport or proof of address at any time.
4.10 If the Member's licence is suspended or revoked or becomes invalid, if the Member has any further endorsements or accidents on their driving record or if the Member is convicted of or receives a citation for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, dangerous or reckless driving or exceeding the relevant speed limit, the Member agrees to report such suspension, revocation, changes, conviction or citation to Zipcar immediately and the Member’s right to access and/or use Zipcar vehicles under this Contract will immediately cease until further notice to the contrary by Zipcar. Failure to immediately notify Zipcar of any such events, or providing Zipcar with any false information may lead to the Member not being covered by Zipcar's insurance policy when driving a Zipcar vehicle and/or termination of the Member’s membership with Zipcar.
5. Damages; Damage Fee; Damage Fee Waivers
5.1 Damages Generally: A Member is responsible for any and all damage that occurs to a Zipcar vehicle while in the Member's possession or control (including the entire time the vehicle is reserved under the Member's account), even if damage is weather-related, caused by a third party or arises from similar causes. The Member is also responsible for the full value of any damages or injuries caused to third parties or their property. Such damages include, without limitation, the repair costs (estimated or actual) for the Zipcar vehicle and third party property, injuries to third parties, costs associated with the recovery or transportation of Zipcar vehicles, and the loss of use of Zipcar vehicles or third party property. However, as described in clause 6 below, Zipcar provides insurance that, in general, covers most damages arising from a Member's use of Zipcar vehicles and the Member's liability for damages will generally be limited to the Damage Fee described in clause 5.2 below. If, however, a Member fails to abide by the terms and conditions of this Contract, the insurance coverage Zipcar provides may not apply, which may make the Member responsible for the full cost of any accident or incident and any damage arising from such accident or incident.
5.2 Damage Fee: Assuming a Member's compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Contract, the Member's responsibility for the damages described in clause 5.1 shall be limited to the damage fee (the "Damage Fee") and damage administration fee associated with the Member's driving/membership plan and/or the type of Zipcar vehicle used by the Member in the amount as set out in Schedule 5: Membership and Driving Rates Schedule. Members will be responsible for up to the full amount of the Damage Fee for actual, estimated or projected expenses, whether or not an actual claim is made or processed, in addition to the damage administration fee.
5.3 Damage Fee Waivers: For an additional charge, eligible Zipcar Members have the option to purchase a Damage Fee Waiver (“DFW”) to reduce their financial responsibility for damages arising from the Members use of Zipcar vehicles. The purchase of a DFW is optional and may be declined. A DFW is not insurance and does not provide or alter insurance coverage.
If a Member purchases a DFW, Zipcar will waive that Member's responsibility for all or a portion of the applicable Damage Fee, based upon the buy down amount (all or partial) of the DFW purchased. A DFW applies only to the specific Member purchasing the DFW. A DFW may also be limited to specific types or classes of Zipcar vehicles. Before reserving a Zipcar vehicle, Members should confirm whether any previously purchased DFW applies to the Zipcar vehicle being used. The purchase of a DFW is non-refundable. The cost of the DFW will vary based upon, among other things, the term/type of DFW purchased (annual, monthly or per reservation), Damage Fee reduction amount (all or partial), membership location, driving experience and similar factors. For annual or monthly waivers, the DFW is limited to the period stated at the time of purchase; after which, if you elect not to renew or repurchase or cancel a DFW, you will be once again responsible for the full Damage Fee. A per reservation DFW applies only to the specific reservation for which it is purchased and is not transferable in any manner.
The elimination or reduction of liability for the Damage Fee through the purchase of a DFW will not apply, and previously purchased DFWs may be terminated by Zipcar, if you (1) use the vehicle in violation of this Contract, including if you permit any other person to drive a Zipcar vehicle, engage in any prohibited use of a Zipcar vehicle or, purposely or through negligence (e.g. by putting the wrong type of fuel in a vehicle), damage a Zipcar vehicle or third party property; (2) have had your membership suspended or terminated by Zipcar and/or have two at fault incidents in a Zipcar vehicle involving property damage or any third party; (3) fail to close and lock all windows, doors, the bonnet and boot and the vehicle is stolen, damaged or vandalized; (4) fail to notify Zipcar immediately after an accident or loss; or (5) fail to pay any other amount due under this Contract.
6. Insurance
6.1 Any active Zipcar Member in good standing will be provided with comprehensive motor cover when driving a Zipcar vehicle, subject to the Member fulfilling their obligations as set out in this Contract.
6.2 Zipcar vehicles are insured in conformity with the European Directive 2009/103/CE concerning vehicles insurance and 2010/c 332/a concerning the minimum amounts of coverage for civil liability for any driving in the European Union. Indemnity is granted under the Zipcar insurance policy to the Member and is subject to all its terms, conditions and exclusions.
6.3 Subject to the Damage Fee described in clause 5.2 above, there is cover for loss or damage to the Zipcar vehicle. However there is no cover for any damage caused by unreasonable carelessness or negligence. In these instances the Member will be fully liable for the cost of repair and/or replacement and any related costs.
6.4 The following items are not covered by the Damage Fee Waiver : damage to a Zipcar vehicle's tyres, windscreens, windows or fuel contamination. Members will be fully liable for the cost of any such repairs including replacement parts.
6.5 In addition, there is no cover for the theft of personal belongings from a Zipcar vehicle, or any personal accident benefits.
6.6 For further information on the comprehensive motor cover please contact us by email as set out in 9.8.

7.7 Upon termination, all of the Member's rights to use Zipcar's services and vehicles shall immediately terminate. The Member agrees to return immediately to Zipcar any vehicle or any other property of Zipcar that the Member has in the Member's possession, including, if requested, all Zipcards. Additionally, the Member shall be responsible for and agrees to pay any legal fees, court costs or expenses associated with enforcing the terms of this Contract, whether upon termination or otherwise (including, without limitation, any costs relating to recovering any of the foregoing property or any amounts due and owing to Zipcar).
