Typically, bad parking or driving off-road are the most common causes of punctures during a rental period.

Drunk driving a hire car is considered negligent use.
Traffic fines.
Traffic fines, speeding tickets incurred at the wheel of your car hire vehicle at Belfast Intl Airport are at your own risk.
Vehicle glass & locks.

We strongly recommend that you park the vehicle in supervised car parks/garages in the major cities and never leave any personal item inside the car hire vehicle.
Damage to the vehicle's underside.
Damage to the vehicle's underside is the responsibility of the renter. Although a very rare ocurrance, damage caused by driving off-road, impacts from rocks or other items to the underside can cause considerable damage to the vehicle. If this situation arises, you will be responsible for the repair costs.

This option, depending on the car hire vehicle selected, costs between GBP 13.00 and GBP 16.50 per per day. You do not need to prebook insurance excess buy-out, simply decide and pay locally on arrival at the car hire station in Belfast Intl Airport when you arrive in Ireland.
Purchasing insurance excess buy-out is not a "licence to kill" and you will still be responsible for items like tyre, wheel, glasss or damage to the underside of the car hire vehicle. The car hire company may still require you to leave a credit card imprint to cover extensions to your car hire contract or traffic fines. See our section What's Not Included for further details.
