REQUIRED NOTICE (§ 59.1-207.31)

A. The definitions in &#xA7; 46.2-1408 apply, mutatis mutandis, to this section.

B. No lessor or peer-to-peer vehicle sharing platform shall sell or offer to
sell to a lessee a collision damage waiver as a part of a rental agreement or
vehicle sharing platform agreement unless the lessor or peer-to-peer vehicle
sharing platform first provides the lessee or shared vehicle driver the
following written notice:
			NOTICE: THIS CONTRACT OFFERS, FOR AN ADDITIONAL CHARGE, A COLLISION DAMAGE
WAIVER TO COVER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. BEFORE DECIDING
WHETHER TO PURCHASE THE COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER, YOU MAY WISH TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOUR OWN VEHICLE INSURANCE AFFORDS YOU COVERAGE FOR DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL
VEHICLE AND THE AMOUNT OF THE DEDUCTIBLE UNDER YOUR OWN INSURANCE COVERAGE. THE
PURCHASE OF THIS COLLISION DAMAGE WAIVER IS NOT MANDATORY AND MAY BE WAIVED.

C. Such notice shall be made on the face of the rental agreement or vehicle
sharing platform agreement either by stamp, label, or as part of the written
contract, shall be set apart in boldface type and in no smaller print than
10-point type, and shall include a space for the lessee or shared vehicle
driver, as defined in &#xA7; 46.2-1408, to acknowledge his receipt of the
notice.
