assorted occupants
Explanation:
diversos is "assorted", and if they specify "ocupantes" instead of plain "pasajeros" there must be a reason for that.

passenger(s)


Explanation:
Other car(s)



occupantes are passengers, I just don't see it any other way. By putting the s in parenthesis you give the idea of one or more for the person to list

diversos: same thing, you might be insuring other car(s)
