Due to increased risk associated to today’s driving environment Avis has initiated a product to protect the renter from additional costs, the Windscreen Damage Waiver. This is not new to the car rental industry but new to Avis, a nominal fee at R5.00 ex Vat per Rental day will absolve the renter of any liability or cost related to either repairing or replacing the windscreen should the windscreen be damaged by circumstances that are often beyond the renters control.
This product is available at the point of reservation or rental check-out, please ask your reservation agent for more information about this product.
