Collision Insurance

• Collision Insurance coverage is applicable to most car accidents, and it provides coverage for vehicle repairs, or replacement of your vehicle if it is a write-off.

• While renting with Summerside Car Rental, you can buy collision insurance (with a $2000 deductible clause) for your rental vehicles. Either by using your own auto insurance coverage or by paying an additional fee for collision insurance you can be under collision coverage along with your rental. 

• This additional fee is not included in the base rental cost, as many customers have their own auto insurance.

• Renters who wish to use their own auto insurance must provide valid documentation of their insurance coverage prior to rental.

• Please let us know if you have any concerns about that, we will be pleased to clarify.

Liability Insurance

• Your Liability Insurance covers the cost of damage to other vehicles and property damaged in the accident.

Additional Drivers

• The fee for Spouse / Additional Driver is $10.00 per day.

Payment Details

• We require a major credit card to secure all car rental bookings. (You will be asked for this after submitting your reservation request, no credit card is needed to submit a request.)

• One day of your rental will be charged as a non-refundable deposit. You will receive the receipt of your non-refundable deposit with the final confirmation e-mail.

Cancellation Policy

• If you paid only the non-refundable downpayment of your booking; and If you cancel less than 24 hours before the scheduled pick-up or do not show up to pick up your vehicle, you will be charged for the full amount of your booking.
