What's Included in your Holiday / Fly Drive Price*.

Third Party liability.
Basic third party liability coverage is included in all rentals and protects you or any authorised drivers should you injure or damage property up to the state limit. Unlike Europe, where third party liability coverage is unlimited, each state in the USA establishes a minimum level of coverage which may be as low as US$10,000. Although this minimum third party coverage is included in the rental hire, it could well leave you seriously financially exposed in the event of a claim against you. Therefore, we strongly recommend you upgrade to the Fully Inclusive or Alamo Gold products to include up to $1 million Liability Coverage and Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) Both of these are important for your peace of mind.
