Frequently Asked Questions
Accidents & Liability
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is not insurance. It is a written agreement between the renter and the client in which the renter waive all or some claims against the client for damages to the rented vehicle provided it is used and operated in conformity with the provisions of the rental agreement.
It is not included on the rental rate or on the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). According to Puerto Rico law, renters are liable for damages to third parties. We strongly suggest that you check you personal auto policy for liability coverage when renting a car. We provide Renters Liability Insurance at an additional cost if you have no liability coverage on you personal auto policy and want to be protected against claims.
If the car is stolen or has been involved in an accident, first call the local police or appropriate law enforcement agency. Next, call the office where the car was rented, give them your rental agreement number and explain what has happened. You’ll be led through the procedure to get you going again.
Simply fill out Target Rent A Car’s accident report and a deductible fee, if any, will be charged.
Fill out Target Rent A Car’s accident report. Target Rent A Car will prepare an estimate of damages. The renter will be responsible for the damages to the rented vehicle (including the entire actual cash value of the vehicle in case of a total loss or theft). It will be the renter’s responsibility to file a claim with any personal insurance or credit card insurance that the renter may have. Target Rent A Car will provide the renter with all documents needed to process a claim: rental agreement, accident report, and estimate of damages, pictures, vehicle registration, etc.
Safety In Puerto Rico
Accidents and vehicle theft aren’t something we like to think about, especially on a trip, but they can happen even to the most experienced and careful driver. Optional waivers like the CDW (as outlined above) may be purchased to reduce or eliminate your financial exposure. Remember that, as the renter, you are liable for all parking and moving traffic violations, both domestic and international, so please drive safely and observe all ordinances.
