What should I do if I’m involved in an accident?

First be sure to contact any emergency services if injuries are involved. If not, contact the police to complete an accident report and immediately. Be sure to collect as much information from all parties involved in the accident, such as driver’s licence, insurance policy number and names of witnesses. Then contact the rental office for further instructions.

Collision Loss Damage Waiver:

We offer CDW (Collision Loss Damage Waiver) at a flat daily rate. Collision Loss Damage Waiver (CDW) is offered by Drive Today Auto Rentals to all of our customers to minimize their responsibility from any damage as a result of an accident to the rental vehicle.

Traffic and Toll Violations, Red-Light Camera Violations:

The renter of the vehicle is liable for all parking tickets, traffic violations, red-light camera violations and 407 ETR driving. Once we receive the violation or toll charge in the mail we will pay it immediately on your behalf to reduce incurring any rising ticket costs. We will then bill your credit card for the ticket amount, plus an administration charge of $50.00 per infraction..
