Some credit cards offer Collision Damage Waiver (or Damage to Vehicle Waiver) for rentals. Cardholders therefore have the option to decline to purchase our Damage to Vehicle Waiver. Further verification by our representatives may be required on arrival. To expedite the rental process, cardholder should request a copy of the coverage policy from the issuing bank or card company and present this to the rental agent at the time the vehicle is being picked up. Verification checks should also be made before hand about the types of vehicles that are covered, although most are. A nominal deposit will be taken towards loss/damage. If the amount for loss/damage exceeds that deposit, the additional amount will be called through for. Cardholders, therefore, will be billed on the credit card for the full amount of the loss/damage. Cardholders are entitled to file a claim for reimbursement from their card company, all supporting documentation will be provided for subsequent claims for reimbursement.
