What do I have to pay if I damage the rental car?

If you damage the rental car, here’s what you need to know:

1. Damage Assessment:

• Inspection: When you return the vehicle, Simba Car Hire will inspect it for damage. This is compared to the pre-rental inspection report to identify any new damage.

• Damage Report: Any damage will be documented, and you will be informed of the assessment and potential costs.
  

2. Cost of Repairs:

• Repair Costs: You will be responsible for the cost of repairs to restore the car to its original condition. This includes parts and labor.
  

• Deductible: If you opted for rental insurance or a damage waiver, there may still be a deductible amount you need to pay.
  

3. Insurance Coverage:

• Insurance or Waiver: Review your rental agreement to understand the extent of coverage. Simba Car Hire offers additional insurance or damage waiver options to reduce your financial liability in case of damage.
  

• Exclusions: Certain types of damage, such as those resulting from off-road driving or misuse, may not be covered by insurance.
  

4. Reporting Damage:

Immediate Reporting: If damage occurs during your rental period, report it to Simba Car Hire immediately to manage the repair process and any necessary insurance claims.

Understanding these aspects helps ensure you're prepared for any potential costs associated with vehicle damage.
