FAQ’s

We’ve put together this list of freqently asked questions to assist you any questions you might have.

What is your insurance policy?

All rentals at OLA Mauritius come along with an ”All Comprehensive Insurance Cover” which include CDW (Collision Damage Waiver ) and TP (Theft Protection) with a deductible or excess varying from 500 to 700 Euros depending on the car models or categories. You therefore limit your financial liability to the deductible or excess amount.  However you’ll not be covered by our insurance in cases of drunken driving or gross negligence. To be noted that we will block the excess amount on your credit card as a deposit. If you return the vehicle undamaged, the deposit will be released immediately.
Please see below deductible /excess amount for different car categories :

Mini : € 500
Economy & Family : € 500
MPV : € 700
Pick up : € 1000

Luxury SUV : € 1500

Insurance waivers or extra insurance :

At OLA you can also opt to reduce the excess to half by paying an additional daily rate to your normal rental charges but which is non refundable(Applies for a minimum of 5 days rental) . This simply means that if any damage occurs to your rented vehicle you won’t be liable to pay the total deductible or excess as you already chose to go for an extra insurance. To be noted that we’ll block half the excess amount on your credit card. However extra insurance excludes the following :

  • Loss of keys
  • Loss of personal belongings
  • Loss for extras like GPS and car seats
  • In cases of drunken driving and careless driving
