Costs Beared by the Customer

• Defacement of vehicle interior
• Towing fees
• Any excess not covered by the insurance coverage and the CDW
• Non-Operation Charge (NOC)
• Max ￥50,000 Fee in the case of a *Single Car Accident

What is the Non-Operation Charge (NOC)?

• The NOC is a fee payed by the customer in the case where a vehicle is damaged (accident or otherwise). This is to compensate the shop for the loss of business during the time that the vehicle is undergoing repairs. The fee is ￥20,000 if the vehicle can be driven back to the shop or ￥50,000 in the case where the vehicle can not be driven back to the shop. If you purchased the Safety Plan, you will be exempted from the NOC. *In the case that the vehicle cannot be driven, you will be charged for towing.

What is a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)?

• For most rental car companies, if a customer gets into a vehicle accident, the customer would be required to pay the cost of the insurance deductibles. With the CDW these deductibles are waived (with the exception of single-car accidents), and the customer will not be required to pay them. All rentals made with NICONICO Rent a Car include the CDW free of charge.

What is a Single-Car Accident?

• A Single-Car Accident is when damage occurs to the rented car that is not the result of a collision with another moving car. An accident where the rented car is crashed into a guardrail or utility pole, run-off road collisions, hit-and-runs, etc. In the occurrence of a single-car accident, you will be required to pay for the damage, up to a maximum of 50,000 yen.
