Insurance & Coverage

If you are involved in an accident while using a rental car from our company and cause damage to us or a third party, you will be held responsible for compensating those damages.
ABC Rent-a-Car provides the following insurance and protection plans to cover such liabilities; however, any amount exceeding the policy limits or the deductible will be the customer’s responsibility.

Customers renting from ABC Rent-a-Car are covered within the limits of the following basic insurance coverage.

※ The above insurance and compensation plans do not apply in cases where the terms and conditions of our rental agreement are violated, if the incident falls under insurance policy exclusions, or if a police accident report cannot be obtained. For details, please refer to the Safety Guidelines for Safe Driving.

The Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) exempts customers from paying the deductible amounts for property damage and vehicle damage in the event of an accident.
