Vehicle Damage Protection Scheme
Vehicle body damages such as scratches and dents can cost a hefty sum to repair when you are renting a car, especially when it requires paying it off all at once. Body repairs may even cost up to $3,000!
To help you defray such costs, GrabRentals is introducing the new Vehicle Damage Protection Scheme – a protection plan made just for GrabRentals Hirer-Partners.
Rent with a peace of mind when you pay from only $0.90/day (incl. GST) to have your car damages covered under GrabRental’s Vehicle Damage Protection Scheme throughout your rental contract duration.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) may be optional (depending on contract promotion requirement). However, we do recommend our hirer-partners to take up CDW as well to reduce the risk of high damage liability in the event of an accident.
