BMW Rental terms & conditions
* Rental rates. All rates are inclusive of VAT, Insurance and BMW Assistance.
All rates exclude fuel. Vehicles must be returned with a full tank
of fuel, failing which the renter shall be responsible for the cost
of refuelling. Insurance. All BMW Rental vehicles are insured. A copy
of the policy is available on request. Damage liability. In the event
of any damage to and/or loss of the rental vehicle, the renter is responsible
for the payment of an excess charge as noted on the Rental Agreement.
An additional damage liability payment may be made to reduce the excess
amount on the policy, which is the responsibility of the renter who
chooses to use our insurance. All vehicles are fully insured, but with
an excess which can be reduced by payment of an additional fee. Damage
which can be attributed to mistreatment by the driver, including damage
to wheels and tyres, is excluded from the damage liability, and therefore
fully chargeable to the renter. Please ask for further details. Unless
BMW Rental is able to recover the cost of its damages from an identifiable
third party, the renter/driver is liable for all damages to or loss
of the vehicle occurring during the course of the rental. The renter
is responsible for maintaining the correct levels of oil/lubrication/water
during the rental period. Incurred roadside expenses which have been
approved by BMW Rental will be refunded upon presentation of original

Rental's (and its insurer's) discretion. Only drivers approved by BMW
Rental at the time of the rental are permitted to drive the vehicles.

Payment. Payment of the estimated rental charges and possible charges
resulting from damage to or loss of the rental vehicle including security
