Car Rental – Damage Management Policy

What happens if the rental car is damaged?

At GlobalAirHub.com, most customers drive responsibly and incidents are rare. However, in the unlikely event that a rental vehicle is damaged, it is important to understand how such situations are managed.

To ensure transparency, GlobalAirHub.com has established a Damage Management Policy that explains how damage is assessed and how related charges may apply. Please review this policy carefully along with our Terms & Conditions for full details.

You May Not Be Fully Liable

Your financial responsibility for vehicle damage may be limited or eliminated depending on the rental protection or coverage you selected at the time of booking. Coverage varies by plan, so we strongly recommend reviewing your Terms & Conditions to understand your level of protection.

Types of Damage

Light Damage: Minor dents, chips, scratches, or cosmetic damage, as well as loss, theft, or damage to accessories, documents, or keys.
