Damage Waiver (DW) reduces the liability of the renter in the event of damage or theft of the vehicle. If DW is not included in the reservation, the renter has full liability for the vehicle. DW is available for purchase and reduces the applicable excess. If included in the reservation, the excess amount for each incident of damage is 2000 EUR for manual Mini and Economy cars. For all other cars and vans, an excess of 2700 EUR applies. For premium and luxury vehicles an excess of 3000 EUR applies. Before purchasing DW it is advised to determine, if a personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage or impound fees. If DW is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges and seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. DW is not insurance.

Renters wishing to discuss or dispute any matters concerning damage to the rental vehicle may contact our damage recovery department. Please email damageclaim@em.com or call 00 353 1 800 812 781.

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as it is collected from (whether scheduled or unscheduled) will be subject to a one way fee. The one way fee varies based on car category, location and pick up date. If you have reserved a one-way rental, this fee is listed in the reservation details and/or the Summary. If unscheduled, this fee will be listed on your rental invoice.

Excess Protection (EP) is an optional coverage available either:

(i) Where you have also purchased DW from us, in which case, your responsibility for any loss caused by damage to, theft or loss of the Vehicle is further reduced to the excess amount indicated on the Summary, or

(ii) If you purchase EP, but not DW, you remain liable for all losses above the amount indicated on the Summary up to the full market value of the Vehicle, every time the Vehicle is damaged or stolen or lost.

Excess Protection reduces the liability on the vehicle to the following; 100 EUR for economy and mini vehicles, 500 EUR for premium, luxury vehicles and Luton vans, and 250 EUR for all other vehicles.

You may wish to check if your personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage or impound fees. If you decline Excess Protection then you are required to pay any applicable Damage Waiver excess and seek compensation from your carrier. Excess Protection is not insurance.

All drivers must present a fully valid and unexpired driving licence (digital licences are not accepted).

Unless the driving licence has been issued by the UK or a Member State of the European Union (in standard format):

•              If the licence is in a language other than that of the country in which you are renting, and the alphabet used is an extended Latin-based alphabet, an International Driving Permit is recommended, but not required, for translation purposes, in addition to the home country licence.

•              If the home country licence is in a language other than that of the country in which you are renting, and the alphabet used is not an extended Latin-based alphabet (i.e. the alphabet used is Cyrillic, Japanese, Arabic, etc.), an International Driving Permit is required.

•              If an International Driving Permit is required and cannot be obtained in the home country, another professional, type-written translation may be substituted.  In either case, the home country licence must also be presented.

•              Customers may not rent a vehicle solely with the International Driving Permit.  The International Driving Permit is an official translation of the individual's home country licence and is not considered a licence, nor is it considered valid identification.

All renters must provide a valid photo ID such as a driving licence, passport or ID card. Visitors to Ireland must also provide proof of return travel and accommodation information while in Ireland.

Please note that we reserve the right to request additional ID or conduct further identification checks if needed, which may include an identity check with an external organisation.

Third Party Liability is subject to compliance with all terms, conditions, limitations, exceptions and exclusions, under rental entities insurance policy.
