超额免赔额豁免的费用是多少?哪些因素会影响价格?

从固定费率选项开始,并比较不同游艇租赁代理商的报价。. 无论您的风险承受能力如何,都有超额免责条款可以降低风险。大多数免责条款的定价方式为基本租船价格的百分比或固定的每日金额。实际上,对于每周租船而言,基本百分比方法通常在基本价格的2%–6%之间,而固定每日费率约为每天25美元–120美元。由于没有通用标准,最终价格取决于运营商、游艇和行程。如果您想降低成本,请考虑选择风险余额较小和免赔额较高的方案;与更广泛的保险范围相比,您可以在这里省钱。.

保证金与损坏免责声明:哪个能保护您,又在何时保护您?

Normally, use the Damage Waiver as your primary protection, and treat the security deposit as a refundable hold that covers gaps the waiver doesn’t address.

Damage Waiver coverage typically protects against accidental damage to hull, engines, and gear on the ship. It means you are covered for most incidents, with a deductible you pay when a claim is approved. The deductible is typically between $0 and a few thousand dollars, depending on vessel size and itinerary. There are exclusions, such as intentional damage, normal wear, or loss of gear; these events could fall outside coverage.

At departure, the operator places a base security deposit on your card as a hold. The amount is typically below the replacement cost of the vessel and is meant to cover non-covered items or the portion not paid by the waiver. There is something to note: the hold is released and the deposit is refunded if nothing is damaged.

When a claim arises, the resulting costs are allocated between the two protections. There is something to watch: the burden often falls on the security deposit for non-covered damage or for any deductible not paid by the waiver. Most operators will tell you the split up front, and the card will be charged only for the portion not covered by the waiver.

Example: during departure, a crew member dents a railing. If the Damage Waiver has a deductible of $0, you pay nothing; the security deposit remains intact. Example: a dinghy is damaged beyond the waiver’s coverage limits or a non-covered item is damaged; the security deposit may be used first, and you could be charged for the remaining amount if any. They will explain the outcome and provide receipts so you can review the details.

Tips to protect yourself: read the policy terms before signing, check the base deposit amount, note the deductible, and document the vessel on arrival with photos. Keep the loaded card ready but avoid giving permission for a pre-authorization to avoid delays. If something looks unusual, ask for a written estimate and an itemized claim path. Remember, you cannot insure every incident; the Damage Waiver helps, but the security deposit provides a safety net for non-covered items or deductible costs.

What to do if you have an accident and how to file a claim

Always prioritize safety: stop the vessel, assist passengers, and notify the crew. If there is an injury, call emergency services. During the scene, take clear photos and short clips of the damages, boats nearby, and the weather. Copy the charter agreement and your policy documents, then note the vessel name, departure date, and the names of charterers. These records help you speed up a claim and support your statements.

Gather details on site: exact location, time, who was involved, and any witnesses. Keep a simple log of events and decisions. If you need a replacement, outline the option for a substitute boat and check offers from the operator. If you prefer a catamaran, ask about availability and the offers they provide. The site or regional desk may tell you how a replacement is handled; these arrangements vary by operator and region, including the ouest area. This helps you make a clear case to the insurer and to the charterers involved.

Start the filing by contacting the insurer and the charter site. Ask for the excess waiver form and the list of required documents. They cover damages to boats, gear, and third‑party property, but confirm exclusions. Even small damages deserve documentation. They will explain the steps and the timeline; file without delay to avoid gaps in coverage, and ask questions up front so you avoid back-and-forth. If you want to insure against unrecovered costs, check how the excess waiver handles the deductible. According to the policy, deadlines may apply, so pay attention to the dates they asked for and provide the information on time.

Prepare and submit the full package: a completed claim form, a copy of the charter contract, the policy or rider, photos, a list of damages, repair estimates, and any receipts for costs paid. If a coast guard or police report exists, attach it along with the name of the repair shop and its estimate. They may ask for a brief statement and details about the incident. The claims team will decide on the excess waiver outcome. If paid, they may reimburse the repair costs directly or arrange a replacement boat; paid alternatives vary by policy. If a replacement is possible, it can be cheaper than paying for repairs out of pocket. They will keep you updated via the site and by calls or messages, and they may ask for additional information below in the request you receive.
