AUTO COVERAGE
Third Party Insurance: Full third party insurance
is included in the rental charges.
Damage to Vehicle Waiver-D.V.W. : The Hirer is
responsible for the full cost of damage or loss to the
rented vehicle. This can be reduced or eliminated by the two
options of D.V.W. listed below :
- Option 1
The hirer can limit liability for loss/damage to the rented
vehicle by paying a Damage to Vehicle Waiver (D.V.W).
The D.V.W charge per day and the liability for each vehicle
type is as follows:
- Cars/Suzuki Jimny = US$12.00
per day/US$750.00
- Hiace Bus/Mitsubishi Space
Wagon/Suzuki Grand Vitara = US$15.00 per day/US$1200.00
- Luxury cars = US$12.00 to US$15.00 per day/US$1200.00
N.B. If option one is taken, the liability amounts of
US$750.00 and US$1,200.00 will be taken as
deposit. These will be refunded if there is no loss or
damage to the rented vehicle.
- Option 2 The Hirer can fully eliminate his/her
liability from the full cost in case of damage/loss to
the rented vehicle by purchasing the D.V.W at a daily
cost of US$25.00 per day for some cars and jeeps, and
US$40.00 per day for buses, Space Wagons, Vitaras and Luxury cars.
N.B. If option two is taken, a nominal deposit of
between US$250.00 and US$450.00 will be
required. This deposit will not be used to cover
damage/loss, but will only be used if the vehicle is
kept overdue and therefore leaving a balance due to us.
This deposit is refundable and can be paid by cash, travellers cheques or a major credit card.
Credit Card Auto Coverage:
- For USA issued cards only
Both MasterCard Gold/Platinum and Diners Club may offer
full collision damage waiver cover. You may therefore
decline to purchase D.V.W. Please check
with your issuing bank to verify card coverage in
Jamaica before renting. In the event of
loss/damage to the rented vehicle you are liable to be
billed directly for the full amount and upon making a claim to your credit card
company, you will be reimbursed by them.
N.B. If this option is taken, credit card authorization
for a deposit of US$500.00 will be secured at the beginning
of the rental. This deposit will be applied to any
loss/damage charges which may occur and will be refunded if there is no loss/damage to the rented
vehicle. If the loss/damage exceeds this
deposit, the additional amount will be billed to your
card.

Visa Gold, MasterCard Gold, American Express Gold
and Diners Club may offer full collision damage waiver cover.
You may therefore decline to purchase D.V.W. Please

additional amount will be billed to your
card.
- Rest of the World
Cards issued outside of the USA or Canada, while acceptable
for payment, will not be accepted for full insurance
coverage. Clients may opt to purchase our Damage to
Vehicle Waiver, or if they still wish to decline our
DVW the following would apply:
1. In the event of a loss/damage, the client must pursue
their own claim for compensation with their card company.
Island will not be able to act on their behalf.
2. A security deposit equal to the full value of the
vehicle will have to be taken and will be refunded at
the end of the rental if there is no loss/damage
Personal Accident Insurance: This can be purchased
at daily rate of US$3.00. It covers the Driver and up to
