Collision Damage Waiver
Collision Damage Waiver- Theft Protection (CDW-TP) is not insurance. The purchase of CDW-TP is optional in order to rent a vehicle in Costa Rica or the customer can purchase National Protection Package (NPP) which includes CDW-TP. If you purchase CDW-TP, the rental company contractually waives your responsibility for all or part of the cost of damage to, loss or theft of the vehicle during the rental period in Costa Rica unless you invalidate the coverage as provided in the rental agreement.
TWP is included on CDW-TP
A deductible of up to $1000 USD for CDW, and a deductible of $2,000 for Theft Protection will apply.
Please be aware that most auto insurance policies from outside Costa Rica do not provide coverage in Costa Rica. Liability insurance purchased on third party travel websites is not an acceptable form of coverage. Employees of the local rental car company are not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the customer's personal auto insurance coverage. The renter should contact their insurance company prior to arrival with any questions regarding their specific coverage. Further, if the renter provides acceptable proof of current coverage in Costa Rica and declines both CDW-TP and NPP, the renter is responsible for the full value of damage to or loss of the vehicle and an additional authorization on the renter's credit card will be taken at the time of rental in the amount of $500 USD plus the estimated cost of the rental.
Customers with credit cards issued by a Costa Rican bank, who wish to decline CDW must show written proof of coverage toward the rental vehicle
Rate/Day:
$13.00 Mini to Standard SUV
$18.00 Full-size SUV and above
The deductible for CDW-TP is $1500 for any damages and $2000 for the Theft Protection.
CDW-TP excludes the tires and windshields, loss of keys, documents and license plates.
Deductible Protection (DP)
Deductible Protection (DP) may be purchased as an additional protection along with CDW-TP and TPL. DP reduces renter's Collision Damage Waiver-Theft Protection and Third Party Liability deductible to $0.
Rate/Day
Rate: $20.95/Day
Deductible: $0
Third Party Liability
Third Party Liability (TPL) The purchase of Third Party Liability (TPL) is required by the rental location on all vehicles unless you provide proof of liability coverage or purchase the National Protection Package (NPP), which includes TPL.
Customers can obtain coverage for damages and injuries to third parties, up to the policy limits, under the local rental car company's insurance by purchasing its TPL protection, and such a purchase is required unless the customer presents valid written proof of current liability insurance specifying coverage in Costa Rica or if the customer purchases National Protection Package (NPP) which includes TPL. TPL provides coverage for incidents which occur during the rental period in Costa Rica. TPL coverage is subject to the actions listed on the rental agreement that invalidate the coverage as described in the rental agreement.
A deductible of $5,000 USD will apply. The minimum deductible is $250 USD.
Please be aware that most auto insurance policies from outside Costa Rica do not provide coverage in Costa Rica.
