a copy of which is available for inspection at the head office of the lessor. The policy contains public

liability and damage to property insurance within the limts required by law in the country where the

vehicle is registered. The renter is bound by and agrees to the terms and conditions of this policy, it

being understood that it is a standard motor vehicle policy in the country where the vehicle is registered.
