Damage Waiver options at Northside Rentals
Do you offer Damage Waiver?
Our prices include standard Damage Waiver as per Rental Agreement.
Standard damage waiver conditionally covers you in the event of an incident with another vehicle (Vehicle to Vehicle). In the event of a vehicle-on-vehicle incident your minimum liability is between $1,000.00-$5,000.00 dependent on the vehicle. The standard Damage Waiver is included in the price and does NOT cover you in the event of a Single Vehicle incident (e.g., with a pole, tree, animal etc). This means that you would need to pay the total repair costs in such an event.
You can choose to reduce Vehicle to Vehicle liability:
For hires less than 7 days: Add $10 per day. For hires 7+ days: Add $7 per day.
You can choose the option to take out Single vehicle waiver:
For hires less than 7 days: Add $10 per day. For hires 7+ days: Add $7 per day.
By opting for Single vehicle waiver you would be covered with a liability between $1,000.00-$5,000.00 dependent on the vehicle. This is not reducible.
NOTE: The liability may vary for certain executive or large vehicles. This will be advised in our supplied quotations.
Please refer to our official Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions for full Damage Cover information.
What do I do in the event of an accident or damage to the vehicle?
Contact us immediately! Even if the vehicle is still driveable, as per the Rental Terms and Conditions, you must notify our company within 48 hours of the incident.
If another party is involved, get as many details as you can from them!
If the accident is with another vehicle or property and is significant, you must lodge an official Crash Report to the WA Police. You can do this online at www.crashreport.com.au (opens in new window).
For us to fulfil our Damage Waiver Agreement with you, you must supply to us a copy of the Police Crash Report, as well as complete our own Collision and/or Damage or Report Form (which we will supply to you upon your notification to us of damage).
Please refer to our official Rental Agreement Terms and Conditions for full Damage Cover information.
What is not included in your damage waiver?
As above, Single Vehicle Waiver is not included as standard. You can opt for this waiver by paying the additional cost as listed above.
Windscreen and Tyre damage is not covered at all (unless due to a fault in the vehicle prior to your collection – determined after authorised assessment).
Damage Waiver is void for driving off sealed roads.
Please read our official Terms and Conditions to understand our requirements for Hirers to be eligible for Damage Waiver.
