Coverage
HummingBird offers several optional insurance plans and are available for an additional daily charge.  Renters may purchase additional liability insurance at the time of rental.  The HummingBird renter is responsible for all damage or theft of the HummingBird vehicle subject to certain exclusions contained in the HummingBird rental agreement.

For an additional fee, HummingBird will waive or limit the renter's liability through the purchase of a Loss Damage Waiver at the time of rental. 

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
Cost of ldw
-USD 9.00 per day for all vehicles Limited Coverage ($750 deductible)
-USD 25.00 per day for pcar/lcar/mvar/fvmr/lfar Full Coverage (No Deductible)
-Non waiverable damage responsibility with ldw - -Limited Coverage usd $750.00 for all vehicles - -usd 1500.00 for theft
-Unlimited Coverage usd 0.00 for damage $1000 for theft

If ldw is declined the customer is responsible for the full value of the vehicle. Up to $12,500 USD in case of an accident.
ldw is mandatory unless the customer presents a credit card that provides ldw protection or equivalent coverage applicable in Jamaica. in case of accident and the ldw is declined , the entire cost of the repairs will be payable by the client. if ldw is accepted, the customer is still responsible for the damage responsibility listed above and the renter will be billed in case of accident regardless of who is at fault.

Note: HummingBird can take up to 72 hours to replace a vehicle that is rendered inoperable due an accident or theft, without reimbursement or liability on the company’s part. In the case, where the vehicle become inoperable due to mechanical issues, not caused by faulty operation by renter, HummingBird will replace vehicle within 12 hours, without additional cost to customer. In the rare event it takes more than 12 hours or the customer does not get a replacement vehicle, HummingBird will refund customer for that portion of rental unused.
