Drive cannot accept responsibility if the
vehicle is not large enough to fit all passengers and luggage
on arrival if details were not supplied at the time of
booking. In the interest of safety this number must not
be exceeded and if exceeded the insurance will be invalidated.

- Our insurance is valid to drive in Portugal. Restrictions
are applicable when crossing country and state borders. Cross
border charges, as shown in our price list page, may apply
if you want to drive out of Portugal. Cross border Insurance
should be requested at booking time but can be asked at collection
time and payable locally.
Collision
Damage and Theft Waiver Exclusions and Damage Excess Waiver
Product
- We waive, in most circumstances your liability to pay for
any damage caused to the vehicle during the period of hire,
subject only to the payment by you of a charge, referred to
as an "excess" as shown below depending on the car
group. Your liability for the damage will be limited to the
cost of the excess. We call this contractual waiver "Collision
Damage Waiver" or "CDW". CDW is subject to certain
exclusions which include, without limit, when damage is caused
to windows/windscreens, wheels and tyres, the underside or
roof of the car or where the vehicle is driven off-road or
on un-tarmacked roads, without due care and attention, negligently
or where the driver is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Your liability to pay for the damage will therefore not be
waived in these circumstances and you may be liable for the
full cost.
- If you would like us to waive your liability to pay the excess
referred to above, then you can purchase our Super Collision
Damage Waiver product (SCDW). However, please be aware that
even with this product you will still have to compensate the
car rental partner for damage which falls within one of the
exclusions identified above.
- Theft Waiver (also known as Theft Protection) provides coverage
for theft or attempted theft, of the vehicle up to the full
value of the vehicle and any loss that we may incur. You are
responsible for the excess of each claim, which you will be
required to pay as part of the overall excess deposit (unless
you are advised that this is not applicable at the time of
booking). Your loss will be limited provided the vehicle is
used and its keys returned in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the rental agreement.
Super
Collision Damage Waiver product (SCDW)
- On all bookings you will be required to leave a deposit to
the value of any CDW excess you may be required to pay if the
vehicle is damaged during the period of hire (see the paragraphs
dealing with CDW above). If the vehicle is damaged, the deposit
will be retained and treated as payment of the excess. If,
however, you have purchased our SCDW product, your liability
to pay the excess will be waived and you may reclaim it, provided
that you bring a police accident report. Your liability to
pay for damage to the vehicle will therefore be limited to
the cost of the daily rate you pay for SCDW.
- Please note than a police report is absolutely necessary
for you to reclaim your liability to pay the damage caused
by accident or theft.
- SCDW (and CDW) do not apply in relation to damage to windows/windscreens,
wheels and tyres, the underside and the roof, the interior
of the car, towing charges or where the vehicle is driven off-road
or on un-tarmacked roads, without due care and attention, negligently
or where the driver is under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs. Your liability to pay the cost of the damage will therefore
not be waived in these circumstances and you may be liable
for the full cost.
- In the event that keys are lost or damaged, you will be liable
for the reasonable costs of obtaining a replacement, and further
costs if directly related to the theft of the car.
- SCDW does not apply when taking four-wheel drive vehicles "off
road" or on un-tarmacked roads. Your liability to pay the CDW
excess will therefore not be waived in these circumstances
and you may be liable for the full excess.
