Insurance Information
With our rate of hire, the vehicle is comprehensively insured, including damage to third-party vehicles, property, and injury. With all quotes, clients are offered mandatory insurance with our basic deposit package. This means you pay less per day for the rental itself, but you have the highest excess/deductible in the event of an accident or damage. This excess is US$1500.00, and we do an authorization (hold only) on your credit card at delivery. Once no damage occurs, you are not charged for the excess amount, and the HOLD will eventually drop off your card. Please note that the drop-off/release time on this hold varies depending on your issuing financial institution. If you do not have a credit card, a Cash deposit equal to your contracted Insurance deductible is accepted.
We offer an add-on reducer package called a CDW ( Collision Damage Waiver )
Standard Pack – Additional US$15.00 + tax per day onto basic quote – Your responsibility for damages is reduced to US$250.00 except for the underlined exceptions. Not applicable on one and 2-day rentals.
EXCEPTIONS – The CDW/deductible does not cover – interior damage/stereo and antenna/ wheel tools and accessories/ rims/tyres/hubcaps, depletion of battery life due to negligence, and lost/damaged keys and fobs.
We accept cash or credit card for all rental fees and these CDW packages. Most clients pay for the rental in cash or credit, but if they do not have a credit card available to cover the cdw package they choose, we do offer them the option to give us the cash to hold, and we return in full at the end of the rental once no damage occurs.
The CDW plan is void in the event of the following:
