Hirer also acknowledges no insurance will be covered if I am dangerously driving, hooning or excessive speeds. HIrer also acknowledges any speeds over 30kmph will result in instant security bond forfeit, void insurance and risk the safety of the public and police impounding the car.

These cars are monitored by our insurer and crucial to our insurance/public safety. Breaking of these T&C's will result in the car being repossessed and security bond not being returned.

BOND: The Security Bond is fully refunded back within 07- 10 BUSINESS DAYS from the vehicle return date, pending no damages or T&C's are broken.

It's crucial not to speed in rental cars for several reasons, paramount among them being safety and financial liability.

  1. Safety: Rental cars may be unfamiliar to drivers, particularly if they're different models or have unique features compared to what you're used to. Speeding increases the risk of accidents, especially when you're not fully accustomed to the vehicle's handling, braking distances, or acceleration capabilities.
  2. Legal consequences: Speeding tickets received while driving a rental car can lead to legal issues and fines. Moreover, these violations can sometimes take longer to process, potentially resulting in additional fees if the rental period has ended by the time the ticket is issued.
  3. Insurance implications: Most rental agreements come with insurance coverage, but it often has limitations and deductibles. If you're involved in an accident while speeding, you may be held financially responsible for damages beyond the insurance coverage, including repairs to the rental car and any other vehicles involved, as well as medical expenses.
  4. Damage to the vehicle: Excessive speed can put additional strain on the rental car's engine, brakes, and tires, potentially leading to mechanical failures or increased wear and tear. You could be liable for any damage caused by reckless driving, which may not be covered by the rental company's insurance.
  5. Reputation of the rental company: If you return a rental car with damage resulting from speeding or receive traffic violations during the rental period, it could impact your relationship with the rental company. You may face difficulties renting from them in the future, or they may impose additional restrictions or requirements on your rentals.

In summary, speeding in rental cars is not only dangerous but also carries legal and financial risks. It's essential to drive responsibly, obey traffic laws, and prioritize safety for yourself, your passengers, and other road users.
