Your booking contract is directly with the principal providing

All car booking we arrange are arranged through Car Trawler
which is a trading name of Etrawler limited. You may be asked
to agree the Etrawler limited Terms and Conditions as part of
the booking process. Nothing in the Etrawler Limited terms and

We would expect the local rental terms to include the following
within the rental price that we quote. Theft insurance or vehicle
theft waiver, third party liability insurance and collision damage
insurance or collision damage waiver on the rented vehicle. Under
no circumstances do We specify on what terms and with what limits
such coverage or waiver may be included. The intention of such
insurance or waiver is to reduce or remove parts for your liability
for loss. The insurance or waiver is not intended to remove all
Your liability. We make no warranty as to what excess may be
applied to such cover or waiver. Limits, conditions and excesses
are all subject to local market practice and local contract terms.
We would expect the local rental cost to conclude breakdown
assistance but we make no warranty regarding the terms or the
level of service provided in respect of breakdown assistance
which would all be subject to local market practice and local
contract terms.
We would expect the price quoted to be based on unlimited mileage.
There may however be local limits applied as to the territorial
limits in which the vehicle is used or the terrain over which
the vehicle is used.
Where any of the above are not included in the cost quoted then
You have the option of declining the local rental terms and making
alternative arrangements or You can take up the local rental
terms as available in which case You will be subject to those
terms irrespective of whether they include the above in the price.
The following would be excluded from any rental price quoted
on Our web site. Fuel charges, additional return empty charge,
local taxes, special equipment options such as but not limited

named drivers charges, any charges applied in respect of the
use of a credit card, charge card or debit card, any charges
to increase the level of insurance or to reduce the level of
excess and any charges to upgrade the vehicle even if these additional
charges stem from the unavailability of the vehicle You reserved.
You should make certain that You have a means of payment with
You when You collect the vehicle. If You have been provided with
a voucher or any other booking confirmation then You must have
that available when collecting the vehicle. No liability can
be accepted for Your failure to have the voucher or confirmation
