Age and Licence Requirements
Drivers must be over 21 and under 80 years old. Each driver must have held a valid driving licence for at least three years – this licence must be produced at the time of delivery of the vehicle, this is necessary for repeat clients as well. Clients between 76 and 80 years old will be required to complete a self-declaration medical form, which may be obtained from a local doctor of choice.

Extension of Hire
Requests for an extension of the hire should be made 24 hours ahead of the return date, while we make every effort to allow extensions they are subject to availability and cannot be guaranteed.

Cancellation Policy
Clients are asked to inform us as soon as they know they need to cancel the reservation. The reservation status will be changed to No Show if the client has not shown up for the car within 24 hours, and has not contacted us to change the delivery details.

Fuel Policy
Vehicles are delivered with a FULL tank of Petrol. Return with a FULL tank of Petrol.

Child Seats
Child/booster seats are available for hire – $5 US per day. Please advise the age of the child that requires the child seat.

Extra Drivers
There is an additional driver’s charge of $5 US per day per driver. The primary driver’s spouse is exempt from the additional driver charges.

Insurance Coverage
Our vehicles are comprehensively insured (which includes third-party liability and theft). If the vehicle is damaged the renter is responsible for the deductible of $1700.00US. The basic insurance does NOT cover damages to tyres/rims, hub caps, windshields, interior damage and lost/damaged keys/fobs. Charges will apply for roadside assistance.

A HOLD on the client’s credit card of $250 US will be taken on delivery – this will be released at the end of the hire once the vehicle has been returned under the contract.

Credit Card Collision Coverage
Some credit card companies and internet websites offer collision coverage benefits. As in many types of coverage, there are limitations, and clients should check carefully to verify the coverage they have. If the client has purchased an excess waiver from another source and has an accident during the hire, he must pay us for the damages incurred up to the maximum of $1700.00US. We will then supply the documentation required to reclaim this payment from the company.

If the Excess Waiver coverage is purchased a HOLD on the client’s credit card of $250 US will be taken on delivery – this will be released at the end of the hire, once the vehicle has been checked and there is no damage.

Extended Roadside Assistance
If selected and paid for at the time of rental, we offer extended roadside assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week without additional charge. This covers potential costs associated with lockouts, flat tyres, jump starts or emergency fuel. The charge is $3 US per day. The cost of replacement of tyres/rims damaged beyond repair and lost keys / key fobs as a result of driver neglect is the responsibility of the renter.

If you do not purchase the extended roadside assistance plan on delivery, you may incur added costs for providing these services. There are no refunds if this coverage is not used, and it may not be cancelled during the rental.

Unlimited Mileage
Unlimited mileage is included with the rate of hire.

Delivery Service
We deliver to the Airport, any private residence, villa or hotel – the delivery time depends on location and scheduling. We do NOT deliver to or collect from the Cruise Terminal.

Keys and Fobs
Vehicle keys are NOT waterproof – the client will be fully responsible for the cost of replacement of lost or damaged keys and key fobs.
