Am I covered for renting a vehicle?

If you rent a vehicle during your trip that includes comprehensive car insurance cover, you will need to select the Rental Vehicle Excess optional cover to be covered.

We’ll cover you for the rental vehicle insurance excess or repair costs (whichever is lower) you’re liable for if the rental vehicle is damaged or stolen while in your control during the trip; or the cost of returning your rental vehicle to the nearest depot, including related airport concession charges, if you can’t return the vehicle due to an event covered by this policy.

We won’t cover any claim for an event occurring outside the hire dates nominated on the Certificate of Insurance, or the operation of a rental vehicle in violation of the terms of the rental agreement. For example, driving on unsealed roads.

For general exclusions and special conditions relating to this option, please see the PDS.
