HRS §437D-5.5
Collision insurance rules for rental car companies
This section says that the rules in this chapter about damage waivers also apply to collision insurance sold by rental car companies or their licensed agents. It defines collision insurance as coverage that pays the rental company for damage to the rented car. These definitions only apply to this chapter, and damage waivers are not considered insurance.
The statute, as written — Offers or sales of collision insurance by lessors or limited line motor vehicle rental company producers
(a) The provisions in this chapter relating to or otherwise regulating the offer or sale of damage waivers shall apply to the offer or sale of collision insurance by lessors or limited line motor vehicle rental company producers. (b) For purposes of this chapter, collision insurance means coverage to pay a specified amount to or on behalf of the lessee for claims by the lessor relating to loss of or damage to the rented vehicle. The definitions of collision insurance and damage waiver stated in this chapter shall apply only to this chapter. No definition of insurance in this chapter or in any other statute shall be deemed to include damage waiver as defined in this chapter.
