PLEASE NOTE:
Note 1: “OFF-ROAD”. Some insurance co-payment options do not cover “Off-Road” damage or overhead and/or under-body and/or water damage or any damage sustained due to negligence of the hirer or his/her designated driver in a collision with a fixed stationary object or tyre damage. Hirer will therefore be responsible for up to R20 000 if this type of damage is found on return of the vehicle.
Note 2: CO-PAYMENTS - The co-payments can be paid in cash, travellers cheques or credit card (a manual imprint of the credit card will be taken and the amount will have to be authorized by the issuer of the card). This is fully refundable on return of the vehicle with no damage incurred to the relevant vehicle. Not all vehicles on the roads in Southern Africa are insured and it is not compulsory to be insured against damage to 3rd. party property. It is therefore often almost impossible to recover money from the drivers of other vehicles whether they are the guilty party or not. The co-payment, as and when applicable, is payable, regardless of who is at fault unless recovered by the supplier's insurers. The co-payment amount as per the option taken by the hirer, is payable immediately upon return of the vehicle to the supplier's Hire or, at the supplier’s sole discretion, on demand from the hirer after an assessment has been done by the necessary repairers and a quotation obtained. If payment is to be delayed, the necessary authorization form is to be signed by the hirer on return of the vehicle. Any adjustment by the supplier's insurers will be returned to the hirer at the earliest convenience of the supplier.

b. driving when tired
c. driving at night.
Please consider the weather conditions and the condition and width of the roads you drive on. Animals and pedestrians crossing roads in Africa are a serious hazard, especially after dark .
