LDW - Loss and Damage Waiver is the combination of CDW and THW. LDW covers all partial or total damage to the vehicle and total theft. Therefore, partial theft, damages due to meteorological phenomena, damages caused by vandalism, riots, strike, coup or any other political or social movement are not covered by this insurance. In case of damage or theft, the customer is only responsible for paying the deductible/excess of ca 20 percent of the total value of the vehicle. LDW is available at USD30 per day plus applicable taxes and fees for all types of vehicles and is typically purchased by customers who are not covered for vehicle damage or loss by their Credit Card/Third Party Insurance. Customers with Credit Card/Third Party LDW must provide a document from their insurance company with a verifiable phone number and/or email address for confirmation. The document must expressively state that the credit card insurance includes LDW (Loss and Damage Waiver). All credit card/Third Party insurance companies which this type of insurance must be regulated by the Comision Nacional de Seguros y Finanzas which is the Mexican government institution regulating all insurance companies in Mexico. If a customer has the appropriate approval and coverage from their credit card institution, they will have to sign a statement of personal responsibility for the total value of the car and acknowledgment of potentially additional charges linked to damage/loss of the vehicle. For customers who do not have the required documentation, LDW will become mandatory.

SPLDW - Super Loss Damage Waiver (zero excess) relieves the customer of all financial responsibility (no excess due), except for specific cases in which there is presumed negligence. SPLDW costs USD30 per day plus applicable taxes and fees and is only available to customers who already have TPL and LDW included in their rate or have added these coverages at the counter. The above-mentioned coverage will only apply if the customer strictly follows the clauses in the rental contract, meaning that that any breach of contract will invalidate the protection and the customer will then assume full responsibility for all damages incurred. Glass, wheels, tires and rims, and stolen accessories are not covered.

Currency - The estimated total is displayed in U.S. Dollars. The actual rate you pay will be calculated by converting the U.S. Dollar (USD) amount into the local currency using a published exchange rate established by the local rental company. When converted, the amount will best represent the original quote. However, due to currency fluctuation variances may be unavoidable. Your credit or debit card company may convert the amount back into USD at a lower rate, and may apply additional conversion fees and surcharges. Because conversion rates may differ, the final total USD charge to your credit or debit card may be higher than the USD total rate estimated on this website.
