The Renter may add up to two additional drivers to the rental. Additional drivers must have verified their eligibility first, and Karshare reserves the right to refuse service based on the renter risk score.
In the event of any incidents occurring due to the fault of the additional driver, the main renter will still remain liable for all costs incurred.
Please note that additional drivers must be added for the full rental duration.
How much does adding an additional driver cost?
The charge for additional drivers is £18 per day per person (£15 + VAT).
