Damage to vehicle

You are responsible for any loss or damage to the vehicle（and related losses and fees）during the rental even if it is not your fault, subject to some exceptions. The maximum amount you must pay is the Accident Damage Excess（ADE）per incident. You can use some of the Optional Renter Protection Services to reduce or eliminate this liability. However, if the loss or damage is caused by a Prohibited Use of the vehicle, you are liable for that loss or damage up to the full value of the vehicle and related losses and fees including third party losses. You cannot rely on any Optional Renter Protections Services you may have purchased to reduce this liability.

Prohibited Use

Prohibited Uses that may result in full liability include incurring overhead or undercarriage damage, driving on unsealed roads, failing to safeguard the vehicle（eg. leaving keys in vehicle）or allowing an unauthorised driver to drive the vehicle.

Optional Renter Protection Services

You may reduce the ADE by purchasing Accident Excess Reduction（AER）, or eliminate the ADE by purchasing SuperCover or Maximum Protection Cover（MAX）. You may also reduce the ADE for standalone damage to the vehicle’s windscreen, windows, wheels or tyres only by purchasing Glass & Tyres（G&T）. However, if there is a Prohibited Use of the vehicle, you cannot rely on AER, MAX, SuperCover or G&T or any other Optional Renter Protection Service to reduce or eliminate your liability.
