The following remain the renter’s responsibility: the theft of the battery or accessories (seat, tires, wheel, antenna radio, anchor, cooler, wipers, lights, etc.), the loss of the keys (the non restitution of the keys following the theft of the vehicle/vessel will result in the invoicing of its market value).
