Insurance:

Accidents always happen, that’s why we have insurance. Of course, different kinds of insurance cover different areas of expenses, and the more optimal your choice of insurance, the lower the risks of financial liability. The platinum level of insurance offered by SAADATRENT is the international LDW insurance package which limits expenses to your initial deposit. However, in the case of accidents, if the leased car is kept under repair for a long period, the renter is liable for the accompanied expenses that are not covered by insurance. SAADATRENT offers two types of insurance, basic and full coverage.

Basic Insurance:

This is the minimal insurance package that comes with all rented models and covers the least financial liability, which means the financial costs of any damages done to leased properties are accrued to the renter. The basic insurance covers:

  1. Extended Roadside Assistance (ERA)
  2. SAADATRENT Safety Commitment (SSP)
  3. Full protection against theft
  4. Additional Liability Insurance (ALI)
  5. Car tow and salvage expenses are upon the renter

Daily Price: Free

Full Insurance:

This is essentially a Loss Damage Waiver insurance that covers all expenses and limits financial liabilities to the initial deposit you’ve made. Opting for a full-insurance package will provide you with the latest model of SAADATRENT cars and covers:

  1. ERA
  2. SSP
  3. Full protection against theft
  4. ALI
  5. Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
  6. Car tow and salvage expenses are upon the renter

Daily Price: 19 AED
