Visa Summary of Benefits for Consumer Cards

If you pay for a rental car with a valid Visa card, you'll be covered for vehicle damages in the event of an accident for rental periods up to 31 days. For the coverage to be applicable, the cardholder must decline the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or similar coverage offered by the auto rental company. Coverage is provided by AIG.

The cardholder and any additional authorised drivers designated in the rental car agreement.

The coverage is provided for covered loss to a Rental Car caused by the Rental Car’s collision with another object or its overturn. Coverage is provided for the lower of:

1. The contractual liability assumed by the Visa Cardholder with the owner of the Rental Car;
2. The Actual Cash Value, subject to any maximum amount, as may be shown in the Schedule of Benefits;
3. The Reasonable and Customary charges of repair or replacement.

Covered vehicles are land motor vehicles with 4 wheels which the Visa Cardholder has rented for a period of time shown on the Rental Car Agreement. Coverage is provided for vans only if they are standard vans with standard equipment and are designed to carry a maximum of 8 people. Coverage is also provided for equipment or accessories installed in the van for the purpose of assisting a handicapped driver.

This coverage is “primary” coverage. If the cardholder is unable to decline the auto rental company coverage, the Visa coverage will be “secondary” to the auto rental company coverage and will be responsible for any gap between the auto rental company coverage and the damages for which the cardholder is responsible.

Visa Rewards Program is covered as long as a valid and verifiable Rental Car Agreement has been issued to the Visa Cardholder, and the entire transaction is charged to an Eligible Account.

• Theft of vehicle and related charges
