Insurance Options
Liability Insurance is required on all rental vehicles. Renters will be required to either provide written proof of Liability Coverage for the Dominican Republic from a Third Party or purchase Supplemental Liability Insurance. If you are relying on a Third Party, the renter will be required to provide written proof of Liability Coverage for the Dominican Republic. The presentation of a credit card or personal auto insurance is NOT proof of coverage. Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) protects you against claims for injury/damage you cause to a 3rd party/their property. It does NOT cover injury to you or damage to the rented vehicle. SLI is 11.87USD plus tax per day unless a CDW option which includes Liability Insurance is purchased. We offer the following Collision Damage Waiver options: CDW 1 is 29.50USD/day for all car sizes. With this option we waive our right to collect any monies from you to the rented vehicle. It includes a Zero deductible, Theft Protection (TP) and Windshield Protection and Liability Protection. This waiver also covers any dents and scratches and collision with another vehicle as well as damage incurred to the vehicle due to a collision with a fixed object. CDW 2 is available for $24.50/day for all car sizes and includes Liability Protection. There is a zero deductible as well as CDW and Theft Protection, but does NOT cover Tires and Windshield Protection. CDW 3 is available at $19.50/day and includes liability protection. There is a deductible of 1000.0USD you are responsible for. Should you choose NOT to purchase our Collision Damage Waiver you will be responsible for any and all damage or loss to the rental vehicle. Should you wish to rely on your credit card insurance and or coverage purchased on third party websites a credit card deposit of 1000.00USD will be required at the time of rental. The deposit will be refunded upon completion of the rental if there is no damage to the vehicle. If damaged you will be responsible for any and all damage or replacement of the vehicle prior to your departure. You may seek reimbursement from your provider upon returning to your country of residence. Glass and Tire Protection is available at 5.00USD per day. All options are taxable.

However, no actual guarantee fee will be incurred unless the Customer is a No Show; in which case a No Show fee equivalent to a one day rental or a minimum of 50.00USD will be charged to the credit card provided as a guarantee.
