I'm renting a boat for a week in Lorient, France. Contract asks for a big security deposit (against my credit card) and asks me to accept all liability for damage to the boat.
I would not take my own boat out under those conditions - I would insure it. And with a deductible a lot less than several thousand EUR.
I haven't chartered in a while - what is the best way to deal with this to make sure I don't end up paying thousands if I screw up? Or if someone else does a nasty hit-and-run while I'm away from the boat?
Do I arrange insurance myself or do I get coverage from the owner's policy?
Thanks.
