Insurance Cover Provided

Third Party Insurance

Damage liability waiver is also included in your rental charges and limits your financial responsibility for damage to the vehicle (the amount of the liability is dependant on the size of vehicle you hire).

Damage to any other part of the vehicle will still be charged up to the amount of your excess liability. You can purchase Windscreens & Tyres Waiver when you collect your vehicle.
