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 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.
