Car Rental Insurance

(1) Car rental charges include: unlimited mileage, local taxes and third-party insurance, which provides passenger indemnity in respect of injuries resulting from an accident involving the rental car. The driver of the car is NOT covered by this insurance, but can purchase Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) coverage and optional Theft Protection Insurance, Extra Driver and Baggage Insurance directly from the car rental company.
(2) Under the third party insurance policy, the hirer is responsible for all damage to the rental car and must leave an imprint of a valid covering major credit card (in which available credit may be held) or *cash deposit with the car rental company at the start of the rental to cover any damage, which may occur. *Deposit cash required is for the full value of the car and is refundable less damage cost.
(3) The hirer can indemnify him/herself in Ireland against damage to the rental car, excluding deductible (€1600-3000) by taking out a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW/LDI) at a supplementary charge which is non-refundable. The supplementary daily charges are as follows, exclusive of local taxes.
