🛡️ 4. Insurance Tiers, Theft & Liability
We offer 2 clear levels of protection. Liability for accidents is determined by the plan selected, subject to the submission of a mandatory Police Report.
| PLAN FEATURES | 1. BASIC (Standard CDW) | 2. FULL INSURANCE (Recommended) |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Fee | INCLUDED | Premium Fee |
| Security Deposit | Standard | NO DEPOSIT ($0) |
| DAMAGE LIABILITY (Percentage YOU pay if at fault) | ||
| Body & Paint | 100% | 0% |
| Glass, Tires & Undercarriage | 100% | 0% |
| Lost Rental Days* | 100% | 0% |
* Lost Rental Days: Unless covered by Full Insurance, Lessee pays the daily rental rate for every day the vehicle is under repair due to an accident caused by the Lessee.
- Interior Negligence: Insurance does NOT cover negligence inside the vehicle (e.g., cigarette burns, stained seats, broken handles).
- Minor Damages: For small scratches, tire, or glass damage where a Police Report is impractical, the Lessee agrees to pay the repair cost directly to save time.
- You fail to provide an official Police Report immediately after an accident.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Driving off-road (Safari) or on unpaved roads.
- Driving by an unauthorized person.
- Gross negligence (e.g., failing to engage handbrake).
In these cases, the Lessee bears full financial and legal responsibility (pays 100% of all costs).
