- Essentials plan – $2000
- Comprehensive plan – $5000
- Annual Multi-Trip plan – $5000
The rental vehicle insurance excess benefit is available on the Essentials, Comprehensive and Annual Multi-Trip plans. Under this benefit, the traveller will be covered for the rental vehicle insurance excess, or the cost of repairing the rental vehicle, whichever is lower, if:
- You rent a vehicle from a rental company.
- It is damaged by accident, storm, fire or theft; and
- You are a nominated driver on the Rental Vehicle Agreement.
For this benefit to apply, the rental vehicle must have valid comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for the period of hire.
What is not covered?
- This cover is not in place of rental vehicle insurance and only provides cover for the excess component up to the applicable limit.
- There is no cover for your liability arising from your use of a mechanically propelled vehicle (e.g. motor vehicle or motorcycle).
- There is no cover where the loss event is not covered by the rental vehicle’s comprehensive motor vehicle insurance.
- There is no cover for administration or loss of use fees charged by the rental company.
* Cover is subject to the policy terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions set out in the current Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement (PDS). Make sure you’ve read and understood the (PDS) prior to choosing a travel insurance policy.
