HOW DO I CHOOSE CAR HIRE INSURANCE?
How Rental Car Insurance Works in Cairns, Australia
When you rent a car in Cairns and Australia you are, by default, 100% liable for all damage to the hire car, and any damage to other cars or property.
The only liability that you don’t have to worry about is that from injuring another person. This is always covered by the compulsory CTP insurance required on all rental cars in Australia.
| If your thought your own car insurance is confusing, hire car insurance policies add an extra layer of complexity.
Most hire car cairns businesses offer their own in-house excess reduction option.
Whether you are picking up your car from Cairns airport, or a Cairns city location, one constant question on your mind will be ‘what about car hire insurance?’
Here at Cairns Luxury Car Hire, we find better value for our customers by suggesting they utilise 3rd party providers such as in this article. The policy we provide is governed by our own rental car insurer, and this dictates some terms on our car rental agreement such as a standard $5,000 excess and minimum drivers age limit 28 years. Car hire bond requirements of $1,000 required.
