HRS §431:10C-805
When an insurer can get money back from a car-sharing program
Read the official text at capitol.hawaii.gov ↗This section says that if a car owner or driver's own insurance policy does not cover a claim, injury, or damage that happens during a car-sharing period, the insurer that paid for it can try to get that money back from the peer-to-peer car-sharing program or its insurer. This applies to liability claims, personal injury protection, uninsured or underinsured motorist benefits, and damage to the shared car.
