1. Insurance cover

All rental cars are rented with comprehensive insurance (incl. 3^rd party) included in the rate, with a co-payment / excess.

For all ULF rental cars the maximum co-payment / excess is R 5000, and ZAR 6000 for driver under 25.

The insurance covers the following:

• Accidents, Damages, Break-ins, Theft, and 3rd party damages.
• The maximum excess for glass is R 1950 per incident and for tyres it is replacement value.

Note: Should the renter be under the influence of alcohol and / or any restricted or illegal substances, the insurance policy will lapse and the full liability of any damages will shift to the renter.

Please be aware that South Africa does not apply the concept of compulsory 3rd party damage insurance, like most other countries in the world. This can lead to situations where someone caused an accident, who is not insured and who cannot pay for the damages. In these circumstances the renter of the car takes over this risk (spread of risk) and will be liable for those damages up to the stipulated maximum excess. The 3rd party liability cover is up to ZAR 5 Million.

2. Free km /Territorial use radius

The ULF rental car comes with free km but with territorial use limit.

Territorial use conditions:

• The territorial use of the vehicle is limited to a radius of 200 km around Cape Town Convention Centre. (200 km = ~125 miles)
• Ensure that trips are carefully planned; for example, The Garden Route is outside that radius.
• Should the car be driven outside of this radius, the insurance cover will lapse, and the renter will be personally liable for any / all damages.
• For ZAR 1500 / month extra, the use radius can be extended to 750 km. The radius extension only covers accidents and damges of the ULF rental car. Costs for alternative transport is case of an accident or break down of the ULF rental car are not covered. Note, this extra insurance is linked to the person doing the extension only.  For the VW Citi Golf the radius extension is not possible.

Additional:

• Should a car be required for business use, a rate per km can be requested.
