However, the Renter is liable for the insurance deductible/excess (up to ₹15,000 for standard cars, ₹25,000 for SUVs) in the event of any claim. Insurance does not cover damage caused due to intoxication, unauthorised driver, or violation of these terms.
8. Cancellation
Cancellation terms are governed by our Refund & Cancellation Policy.
