Avant Rent a Car provides the most economical insurance you can contract in any other car rental company around the world.
For a small fixed daily fee, our insurance has enormous advantages since it covers you, and excludes you from payments, in case of accidents and damages to the rented vehicle. It offers ZERO deductible (franchise) protection for the following coverages:
- CDW: Collision Damage Waiver, covers any type of damages to the rented vehicle on accidents or collision while driving on paved roads, cities or highways.
- LDW: Insurance against vehicle theft. 100% coverage in case of theft of the rented car
- PLI/RC: Third-party damage insurance. It covers 100% of any damage caused to third parties (in their persons or property) caused by the rented vehicle.
- ALI/RC: Additional Liability Insurance/Civil responsibility coverage, complying with the new coverage requirements issued by Highway Mexican Law, article 62 issued in 2004.
- Legal Assistance for customers in case of an accident involving the violation of any law.
WHAT IS ALSO COVERED, BUT REQUIRES DEDUCTIBLE PAYMENT.
Please note that the following are certain restrictions for the damage payment exemption (Zero deductible), which normally never occur:

In the event that they occur, your insurance still provides coverage. However, in these particular cases, the lessor will be responsible to cover the cost of repairing any type of damage caused to the rented vehicle up to a cost that does not exceed the deductible amount which is a 10% of the average value of the rented vehicl. This 10% deductible amount will be stated on your rental agreement
1. When the vehicle suffers damage when parking and the driver hits the vehicle with a fixed object such as a fence, tree, door, or any other obstacle.
2. When the vehicle suffers damage caused by another vehicle that flees, while parked or driving and there is no evidence of it such as a photograph, license plate, or video of someone to hold responsible.
3. Damage caused by driving the vehicle on unpaved roads.
4. Damage caused to wheels and/or tires.
In these cases, as stated above, the lessor will be obliged to cover the amount of damages up to an amount that does NOT exceed the 10% deductible
VERY IMPORTANT
All this above coverage will ONLY BE VALID by meeting these 3 requirements:
- The driver is registered in the rental agreement as an authorized driver.
- The driver is not under the influence of alcohol or any kind of drugs; or medication contraindicated in machinery operations, while driving.
- The damage, or accident, must be reported immediately at the time it occurs and at the scene. Vehicle must not be moved until the insurance agent arrives or if the police indicates to do so.
WHAT IS NOT COVERED
- Traffic tickets.
- Damage to tires (rubber) and/ or wheels (metal or aluminum).
- Loss and/or damage of the hubcaps, keys, license plates and other accessories such as baby car seats, etc.
- Smoking odor.
- Damage or stains to upholstery and / or any interior parts of the vehicle.
- Damage to the vehicle caused by driving through floods, or to the chassis and/or body frame of the vehicle due to driving on unpaved roads.
It is important to understand that all these coverages are contracted between the renter (You) and AVANT RENT A CAR by means of the rental agreement. By sign it, you are accepting, and are subject to, these benefits and their restrictions. It has nothing to do with the policy contracted by us with other insurance companies that we use, which only cover damage to third parties.
