Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum cardholders get auto rental Insurance at no additional cost each time they rent an automobile using their Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum credit card. The cardholder must decline the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW) or similar coverage offered by the auto rental company. Coverage is offered by Chartis AIG and covers Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum cardholders up to the actual cash value of the vehicle, the cost of repairs or replacement value of the rental vehicle while said vehicle is in the cardholder’s possession.

The following specific costs are included in the policy:

  • Damage due to collision
  • Theft of vehicle and related charges
  • Malicious vandalism charges
  • Loss due to accidental fire as long as the liability rests with the cardholder

To be eligible for this insurance coverage:

  • Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum cardholders must reserve and pay for the entire cost of the auto rental with their Republic Bank / PriceSmart Visa Platinum credit card
  • All drivers authorised to operate the rental vehicle in accordance with the rental car agreement should be covered.
  • No person other than the cardholder or other authorised drivers shall have any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claims of insurance proceeds and/or damages under or arising out of this coverage.
If you are unable to decline the auto rental company coverage, the coverage will be “secondary” to the auto rental company coverage and will be responsible for any gap between the auto rental company coverage and the damages for which you are responsible.

The price difference must be above USD 25 this coverage to apply. Conditions apply.

Same market is defined as same country and within 100 kilometers of point of purchase. For the US, it will mean the 48 contiguous states. Alaska, Hawaii and other US territories will be treated separately.
