Insurances & Coverages

LDW - Loss Damage Waiver

Purchase of LDW is mandatory if customer’s credit card doesn´t have any insurance coverage.
Purchase relieves the customer of all financial responsibility to the vehicle.
If declined, the renter would be responsible for up to the full value of the vehicle and an additional credit card hold will apply.

SLI - Supplemental Liability Insurance

Our SLI coverage is optional, but when the customer declines LDW insurance using their credit card, SLI becomes MANDATORY because no credit card has coverage for third party damages.

Please be advised, SLI is mandatory when the customer is not able to provide proof of LDW (Declaration Policy Letter) with their credit card.

PDW - Partial Damage Waiver

Purchase is optional at the counter and will reduce customer’s financial responsibility to USD 2,500.
If declined, the customer is responsible for up to the full value of the vehicle, plus an additional credit card hold will apply.
