You can purchase optional CDW-TP for an additional cost.

A deductible of up to 9,000,000 COP (approximately $3,300.00 USD) will apply, depending on the size vehicle and whether the vehicle has been stolen or involved in a roll-over accident. CDW-TP is included in the National Protection Package (NPP).

If CDW-TP is declined, the renter is responsible for the full value of damage to or loss of the vehicle.

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Option 1 — Prepaid Fuel

Option 2 — We Refill
This option allows the renter to pay at the end of the rental for fuel used but not replaced. A 20% surcharge will apply to the price per gallon making the price higher than local fuel prices.

Option 3 — You Refill
This option allows the renter to return the vehicle with the same amount of fuel to avoid any extra fuel charges.
