Before you rely on a policy
Amounts and eligibility can change by branch, vehicle, card, and booking. A pending hold is different from a settled charge.
What to check first
- Name every intended driver on the contract.
- Check spouse, partner or disability-related exemptions.
- Confirm whether a daily fee has a rental cap.
