CDW
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) reduces the renter's liability from the total cost of the damage, to an excess amount where applicable unless the renter intentionally causes the damage is under the influence of drink or drugs or uses the vehicle in a prohibited or negligent way e.g. driving off main roads or hiring to other parties. CDW covers liability for damage to the vehicle or its parts and accessories. Windscreens, tires, undercarriage, replacement locks, replacement keys, and towing charges are not covered under the insurance policy.
Theft Waiver
(TW) reduces the renter's liability in the event of theft or damages caused due to theft or attempted theft of the vehicle to an excess amount where applicable. Negligence connected with the theft of the vehicle may lead to Economy car hires requiring the full amount for the cost of the vehicle.
Personal Accident Insurance
This insurance is covered by your holiday insurance.
Local Deposits & Petrol
“Economy car hires” require a deposit at the start of the rental to cover petrol, liability excess, and other charges incurred during the hire. A valid major credit card will be required in most cases (check with our Reservations Centre) and must be in the lead driver's name. Provided the car & extras are returned in the same state as rented & following the fuel policy, this deposit will be refunded when returning the vehicle.
Minimum/Maximum Age Limitations
The minimum hiring age is 21 years.
Additional Drivers
Charges may apply for additional drivers, payable locally (Unless specified on the “Economy car hires” voucher). Please check with our Reservations Centre.
Period of Hire/Daily Rate Calculation
Hire periods are calculated on a 24-hour basis. After collection of the car, an extension of the hire period and late returns will be supplied and charged locally at the local daily tariff (which may be higher).

Your voucher will normally be dispatched within 48 hours of us receiving your booking request, provided that full arrival details have been advised; i.e. flight number and arrival time or a local address and telephone number.

Driving Licence
Drivers must produce a full valid Driving License held for at least 1 year. All persons driving the vehicle must have their driving license at all times for perusal by local authorities. No refunds will be given for rentals rejected due to the non-production of a driving license or non-disclosed endorsements. Please note an International Driving License/Permit does not replace the requirement for a regular driving license. If using an international license /permit, a full driving license in the principal driver’s name will still be mandatory to rent the vehicle.
