Damage Waiver does not apply to damage occurring in Mexico.\n\nThe following shall invalidate Damage Waiver: if Vehicle is damaged when used or driven by any person other than Renter or AAD(s) without Owner's prior written consent or by any person if there is reasonable evidence the driver was impaired by the use of alcohol, narcotics, intoxicants, or drugs, used with or without a prescription; by any person committing a felony or otherwise engaged in a criminal act; in a race or speed contest; to tow or push anything; outside the states authorized; under authority of any license that is suspended, revoked, invalid or does not belong to the driver; to transport persons or property for hire; in a wanton or reckless manner or if Vehicle is deliberately damaged; on an unpaved road or off road; to transport explosives, chemicals, corrosives or other hazardous materials or pollutants of any kind; or if Renter misrepresents facts to Owner pertaining to rental, use, or operation of Vehicle; or if Vehicle's interior components are stolen or damaged when Vehicle is unlocked or keys are not secured; or if Renter fails or refuses to provide Owner, police, or other authorities with a full report of any accident or vandalism involving Vehicle or otherwise fails to cooperate with Owner, police, or other authorities in the investigation of any accident or vandalism. \n\nIf Vehicle is stolen and Renter fails to do any of the following: return the original ignition keys and Owner's key tag identifying Vehicle; file a police report within 24 hours after discovering the theft; cooperate fully with Owner, police and other authorities in all matters connected with the investigation of the theft; ensure that the Vehicle's ignition is turned off at the time the Vehicle is stolen. \nPersonal Accident/Effect Coverage Exclusion/Voids.

The policy does not cover loss by mysterious disappearance. All losses by theft must be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities or they will not be covered.\n \nRoadside Protection Exclusions/Voids. Roadside Assistance Protection does not waive the customer's responsibility for: Cost of a replacement tire. Roadside Assistance Protection does not apply in Mexico.\n \nRoadside Assistance PLUS. Renter may purchase Roadside Plus (RSP) from Owner for an additional fee. If Renter purchases RSP, Owner agrees, subject to the actions that invalidate Loss Damage Waiver, to contractually waive Renter’s responsibility for the cost to provide 24/7 roadside assistance (where available) which includes replacement of lost keys (including remote entry devices), flat tire service (if no inflated spare is available, the vehicle will be towed. Cost of a replacement tire is not covered by RSP), lockout service (if the keys are locked inside the vehicle), jumpstarts, and fuel delivery service for up to 3 gallons (or equivalent liters) of fuel if Vehicle is out of fuel. Roadside Plus services are only available in the United States and Canada.

This supplies you and any authorized drivers with third-party liability protection with a combined single limit per accident equal to the difference between the minimum financial responsibility limits referenced above and $1,000,000 Combined Single Limit per accident. SLI will respond to third party accident claims that result from bodily injury, including death, and property damage that arise from the use or operation of the vehicle as permitted in the Rental Agreement.

"PolicyText": "Driver's License Information. Customers who reside in the United States, U.S. Territories, or Canada\n\nCustomers who reside in the U.S., U.S. Territories, or Canada must present a valid, unexpired government-issued Driver’s license which includes a photograph of the customer. Digital licenses are not accepted. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period.\n\nMembers of the United States Armed Forces who are on active duty may present an expired home state license under the following conditions:\n\n\n\t\n\tThey also present an Active Military ID, and\n\t\n\t\n\tThey are in compliance with their military extension policy of the state which issued the license. These policies vary by state and customers are encouraged to check with the appropriate department of motor vehicles for more information.\n\t\n\n\nCustomers travelling to the U.S. and Canada from other countries\n\nIt is important that customers check with the appropriate Department of Motor Vehicles in the States or Provinces in which they intend to travel to ensure compliance with their various licensing laws. The following practices are used to ensure the customer is presenting a facially valid license at the time of rental. \n\nCustomers traveling to the United States and Canada from another country must present the following:\n\n\n\t\n\tTheir home country driver’s license, and\n\t\n\t\n\tIf the home country license is in a language other than English (or French, for rentals in Canada) and the letters are English (i.e. German, Spanish, etc.) an International Driver’s Permit is recommended, but not required, for translation purposes in addition to the home country license. \n\t\n\t\n\tIf the home country license is in a language other than English and the letters are not English (i.e.alphabet is not an extended Latin-based alphabet like German or Spanish but is Russian, Japanese, Arabic, etc.) an International Driver’s Permit is required. \n\t\n\t\n\tIf an International Driver’s permit cannot be obtained in the home country, another professional, type-written translation may be substituted. In either case the home country license must also be presented.\n\t\n\t\n\tCustomers may not rent a vehicle solely with the International Driver’s Permit. The International Driver’s Permit is a translation of the individual’s home country license and is not considered a license nor is it considered valid identification.\n\t\n\tIn some US locations, customers not holding a US driver’s license may be asked to provide additional documentation. Examples of this may include a valid passport or, in certain states (AZ, CA, NM, TX) a valid Mexican voter registration card and/or inbound and outbound travel documentation.\n\t \n\tIn some Canadian locations, customers not holding a Canadian driver’s license may be asked to provide additional valid government-issued documentation. Examples of this may include a valid passport.\n\n\nOther requirements\n\n\n\t\n\tPhotocopies of Driver’s Licenses are not accepted\n\t\n\t\n\t“Learner’s Permits” are not accepted.\n\t\n\t\n\tAny license which, on its face, restricts the licensee to the use and operation of a vehicle equipped with a form of a breathalyzer apparatus is not accepted.\n\t\n\t\n\tTemporary Driver’s Licenses may be refused if the renting location is unable to otherwise verify the customer’s identity or verify the authenticity of the temporary license. Additional Government-issued identification may be required.\n\t\n\nRenter Requirements . We look forward to serving you. To protect you, our employees and our community, face coverings are required inside our facilities. Please ensure you are prepared upon arrival at our location. For information on our readiness, please see the Covid-19 link at the top of our website.\n\nAll renters and additional drivers must be 21 or older. All renters must have a valid driver’s license and a major credit card or debit card in their name. Individuals with learners’ or instructional permits are not eligible to rent. This is only a summary. For additional details, please reference the Driver’s License Information Policy. \n\n \n\nAGE\n\nThe underage surcharge for drivers between the ages of 21 and 24 is $20 per day. Renters between the ages of 21 and 24 may rent the following vehicle classes: Economy through Full Size cars, Cargo and Minivans, Pickup Trucks, and up to a Standard Size SUV. \n\n \n\nDEBIT CARD \n\nAt airport locations, debit card deposits are only accepted at the time of rental if accompanied by a ticketed return travel itinerary. The name and address shown on the renter’s driver’s license must match their current home address. Active duty military personnel are exempt from address requirements. \n\nOther than the renter’s spouse or domestic partner, no other additional drivers are allowed. \n\nAt the time of rental, charges will be placed on the debit card which reduce the available funds in the account associated with the card used. Renter is responsible for any overdraft fees incurred. See Rental Authorization and Deposit Amount for more details. \n\n \n\nRENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND DEPOSIT AMOUNT \n\nDisembarking passengers will be asked to provide a credit card or debit card with funds to cover the cost of rental. Renters without a ticketed return travel itinerary will need to provide a credit card with sufficient funds to cover the cost of the rental plus $300. Debit cards are only accepted at the time of rental if accompanied by a ticketed return travel itinerary.\n\nMoney orders and prepaid cards are not acceptable forms of security deposit but may be used to pay any balance due at the end of the rental. Cash is not accepted. "

"CategoryCode": "Insurance",
"PolicyText": "Personal Accident Insurance / Personal Effects Coverage. Personal Accident Insurance/Personal Effects Coverage (PAI/PEC) is offered at the time of rental for an additional daily charge. If accepted, the PAI contained in the policy provides renter and renter's passengers with accidental death, accident medical expenses and ambulance expense benefits. The PEC contained in the policy insures the personal effects of the renter, additional drivers or any member of the renter's immediate family who permanently resides in the renter's household and who is traveling with the renter against risks of loss or damage. Benefits are payable in addition to any other insurance coverage the renter or passengers may have. This is a summary only. PAI/PEC is subject to the provisions, limitations and exclusions of the PAI/PEC policy underwritten by Empire Fire and Marine Insurance Company in the United States or ACE INC Insurance in Canada. The purchase of PAI/PEC is optional and not required to rent a car. The coverage provided by PAI/PEC may duplicate the renter's existing coverage. National Car Rental is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renter's existing coverage; therefore, the renter should examine his or her personal insurance policies or other sources of coverage that may duplicate the coverage provided by PAI/PEC.\nSupplemental Liability Protection Exclusions/Voids. Extended Protection shall not cover: Loss arising out of an accident which occurs while Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers is under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or other substances unless prescribed by a physician; Loss arising out of bodily injury or property damage sustained by Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers or any relative or family member of Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers who resides in the same household; Loss arising out of the operation of Vehicle by any driver who is not Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers ; Liability arising out of or benefits payable under any uninsured or underinsured motorist law, in any state; Liability arising out of or benefits payable under any first party benefit law, medical payments, no fault or any similar law to the foregoing, in any state; Bodily injury to an employee or the spouse, child, parent, brother or sister of that employee, arising out of and in the course of employment by Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers ; Property damage to property transported or in the care, custody or control of Renter or Additional Authorized Drivers ; Damage to Vehicle; Liability arising out of the use of Vehicle, which was obtained based on false, misleading or fraudulent information; Loss arising out of the use of Vehicle when such use is otherwise in violation of the terms and conditions of the Agreement.\n \nLoss Damage Waiver. Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is not insurance. The purchase of LDW is optional and not required in order to rent a vehicle.\n\nYou may purchase optional LDW for an additional fee. If you purchase LDW we agree, subject to the actions that invalidate LDW listed on the rental agreement, to contractually waive your responsibility for all or part of the cost of damage to, loss or theft of, the vehicle. DW does not apply to damage occurring in Mexico.\n\nWhen deciding whether or not to purchase LDW, you may wish to check with your insurance representative or credit card company to determine whether, in the event of damage to, or theft of, vehicle, you have coverage or protection for such damage or theft and the amount of your deductible or out-of-pocket risk.\n\n*For rentals originating in California- LDW ranges between 10.99 USD and 500.00 USD per day depending on the type of vehicle rented."
