No.  Minimum liability insurance coverage is included in all rates at no additional charge at all locations in Canada.

The liability limit for locations in Canada is 200,000.00 CAD Public Liability & Property Damage coverage per accident.

Acceptance of the Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces the renters and authorized additional drivers financial responsibility to between 250.00 CAD and 2500.00 CAD depending on car group confirmed, if the car is damaged or stolen while under rental contract. Using the vehicle in violation of any of the use restrictions listed on the rental agreement could void LDW and leave the renter fully responsible for any damage to the vehicle.

Partial Loss Damage Waiver (PDW) is available at certain rental locations to relieve the renter of the first $1,000 CAD of the loss of, or damage to, the Avis car.

All inquiries regarding PDW availability and cost should be referred to the rental location.

All Avis cars are not to be driven on unpaved roads (like gravel, dirt, etc.).

If LDW is not accepted, the customer is financially responsible for the full value of the car if:

• Accident damage
• Glass damage
• Vandalism
• Theft of the car
• Stolen items such as radio, battery, etc.

Global insurance coverages are always subject to change. Please verify at time of rental.
