Is insurance included?
Yes! All prices quoted on this website have Full Comprehensive Insurance already included within the daily rate.
Just like your own car insurance there is an excess or liability fee. This is the amount you are required to pay in case of an accident, regardless of fault.
The good news is that you can pay an additional daily surcharge at the depot to reduce the standard liability. Below rates are subject to change.
