The excess amount will vary by location and can be advised at the time of reservation. It is possible to waive all or part of the excess by payment of a further fee, this may be done directly with the agent at time of rental. If there's an excess, the local agent might take an inprint of your card to cover the excess amount in case of damage. It is the clients responsibility to have enough funds on their credit card to cover this. The insurance cover provided does not cover tyres, windscreens, damage to the roof, the underside and interior of the car, towing charges and any damage caused wilfully or clearly by driver negligence. You may therefore be liable for the cost of damage so caused. Insurance cover is not provided for personal injury or contents of the car in case of theft.
