The self-insured the eagles concerts and tours rental car company was Enterprise. Explaining the eagles concerts and tours its decision, the Supreme Court observed that the Supreme Court s decision in USAA Cas. Ins. Co. v. Hertz , 265 Va. 450, 578 S.E.2d 775 (2003) provided the eagles concerts and tours that a rental car company, such as Enterprise, is required to lease cars that carry primary liability insurance coverage. However, despite the apparently plain meaning of the Hertz case, Farmers the eagles concerts and tours v. Enterprise the eagles concerts and tours Court agreed with Enterprise that Hertz does not bar a self-insured car rental company from seeking indemnity from its renters for damage caused by the renters negligence. The Court held valid a provision in the Enterprise contract which required the renter to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Enterprise from losses, damages, the eagles concerts and tours etc. incurred by Enterprise as a result of the use of the rented vehicle.
The Court rejected Farmers contention that allowing Enterprise to recover from its renter violated the anti-subrogation rule that an insurance company may not seek indemnification from its own insured. The reasoning of the Court on this point was that Enterprise s self-insurance is not the same thing as insurance.
The Court also rejected Farmers argument that the other insurance provision in the Farmers policy made Farmers coverage secondary to Enterprise s self-insurance. The Court s reasoning here was that Farmers other insurance provision had no application because Enterprise s self-insurance was not insurance.
