MPVs, 4x4s and heavy commercials is 25. |

6 points cannot be insured to drive unless specifically authorised
by our insurers. |

The hirer is responsible for the first £100 of this excess
in the event of any damage to the vehicle. The total excess
must be deposited with Kenhire unless the driver uses our Collision
Damage Waiver, in which case only the non-waiveable element
is required. |

In addition to the first £100 of damage, the CDW does
not cover damage to the interior, roof or tyres of the vehicle.
The hirer will also be held responsible for any damage arising
from incorrect fuel being put into the vehicle. |

| Customer's
Own Insurance |

while driver is under the influence of drink or drugs and for
