avis loss damage waiver for car rental

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
LDW helps reduce your financial liability for loss or damage to the Avis car rental as long as you comply with Avis rental agreement terms. Cost varies by location, car group and rate. If you have rental car coverage through your personal insurance or charge card, LDW offers maximum protection while your personal insurance or charge card may contain a deductible.

If I do not accept the LDW coverage, will my own insurance cover the damage to the Avis car?
Please check with your personal auto insurance company to confirm whether your policy will cover any or all damage to the Avis rental car. In addition, you may have coverage available to you through your credit card company. You should contact your insurance company and/or credit card company to confirm what coverage is available (if any) for rental cars before renting any vehicle.

With my personal insurance or charge card collision coverage, do I need to purchase LDW from Avis?
Only you can make that decision. For information on what your personal insurance covers, you should check with your insurance agent. To check on the benefits from your charge card, you should check with the charge card's customer service department. Then you can make an informed decision on whether to accept our optional LDW protection.

You are responsible for any and all loss of or damage to the car resulting from any cause including but not limited to collision, rollover, theft, tire damage and vandalism, seizure/medical condition, flood, fire, hail or other acts of Nature. If you have accepted the Avis LDW coverage and there is no breach of contract violation, you will not be responsible for the damages.

airlines summer airfares likely to soar

Soaring fuel prices and rising passenger demand will make summer travel to international destinations more expensive from a year earlier, said aviation and travel trade experts.
Fuel surcharges are likely to push airfares higher to make up for a 25% increase in airline gas prices so far this year, industry watchers warn.
Singapore Airlines has increased fuel surcharge by 16% from February. While Singapore Airlines charged 8,558 as fuel surcharge on a Mumbai-Singapore-Mumbai ticket in February, it charges 9,924 in April. The airline has added an additional $32 (about 1,400) on tickets sold after April 21.

Other international airlines such as British Airways and Emirates have also joined the bandwagon. British Airways has hiked its fuel surcharge by £10 (about 730) in April."Rising fuel cost is a worry so we have to make sure all capacities we employ are beneficial. Almost all airlines have increased fuel surcharge by few Euros but that is not compensating for the high fuel prices," said Axel Hilgers, director, South Asia, Lufthansa.

"Due to the current volatility of oil prices, Emirates is introducing a fuel surcharge to reflect the substantial recent increases in our fuel costs," Emirates had informed its trade partners in a statement last week.

Emirates accounts for a lion's share of outbound traffic from India, beating rival carriers such as British Airways, Lufthansa and Singapore Airlines. As jet fuel constitutes about 40% of an airline's operating cost, higher fuel surcharge helps cover increased cost.
Growing demand for outbound and domestic travel is another reason for rising fares.
"Seats to Europe, Hong Kong and America in the economy class are all sold out. To maximise yields from the remaining seats is what the airlines will look for. It will be a function of demand and supply. For example, a London round trip that is available for 45,000 will cost an additional 10,000 - 12000 or more on weekends," Mr Prakash said. According to travel trade experts, the levy of increased service tax from April 1 on economy class seats on international routes (750) is also marginally impacting the pricing of tickets.

Cairns-Auckland JQ290 18.30 – 22.10 (Tues, Wed, Sat)

AKL CNS JQ291 22.50 – 05.20 (Tues, Wed, Sat)

“Australia is the number one international destination for Kiwi travellers and by further growing our low fares offering across the Tasman we expect to further stimulate demand, for the benefit of the Queensland and Victorian tourism industries and local communities.” In 2011, Jetstar’s trans Tasman network will expand to 10 routes including first-time international flights to NZ’s adventure centre of Queenstown from Melbourne and the Gold Coast from December 2010.
