Insurance:

Lessor has taken out comprehensive insurance as well as motor liability insurance, with covers damage to equipment and crew wagons listed in the lessor´s catalog.

If this is neglected, lessee is liable for the full compensation amount. Lessor has taken out motor liability insurance that covers according to the rules of the Road Traffic Act (Færdelsloven). If damages exceed the compensation amounts specified in the Road Traffic Act, lessee is liable for the amount by which the sums are exceeded.
