Wabush Airport (YWK) Car Rental

Renter’s spouse or domestic partner who meet the same age and driver’s license requirements of the renter are authorized drivers at no additional charge.  Any additional authorized drivers must appear at time of rental and meet age and driver’s license requirements.  An additional charge of $10 per day for each additional authorized driver will be added to the cost of the rental, unless other contractual conditions apply.
A spouse or domestic partner is the only permitted additional driver on a rental secured with a debit card. 

Drop box is built in to the right side of the rental counter. Please ensure vehicle is locked before leaving. Customers are responsible for condition of car until business opens.

Please see the Renter Requirements policy for age requirements and youthful driver charges.

Vehicles rented in Canada can be driven throughout Canada and the US.

Vehicles cannot be driven into Mexico.

One-Way rentals are allowed within Canada and may be assessed a one-time drop charge or mileage charge in addition to the rental rate. This is also known as an 'inter-city' fee.
The return location is indicated on your rental agreement. The cost of the rental reflects the return of the vehicle to that location. Returning the vehicle to a location other than the one indicated on your rental agreement will incur a separate charge.

As a customer, you have a choice as to how you would like to pay for fuel.

Option 1: Prepay Fuel
This option allows the renter to pay for the full tank of gas at the time of rental and return the tank empty. No refunds will be issued for unused gas.

Option 2: We Refill
This option allows the renter to pay National at the end of the rental for gas used but not replace. Price per litre will be higher than local fuel prices.

Option 3: You Refill
This option allows the renter to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas to avoid extra fuel charges.

Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) is not insurance.  The purchase of LDW is optional and not required in order to rent a vehicle.

You may purchase optional LDW for an additional fee.  If you purchase LDW we agree, subject to the actions that invalidate LDW listed on the rental agreement, to contractually waive your responsibility for all or part of the cost of damage to, loss or theft of, the vehicle. DW does not apply to damage occurring in Mexico.

When deciding whether or not to purchase DW, you may wish to check with your insurance representative or credit card company to determine whether, in the event of damage to, or theft of, vehicle, you have coverage or protection for such damage or theft and the amount of your deductible or out-of-pocket risk. 

Customers who reside in the United States, U.S. Territories, or Canada

Customers who reside in the U.S., U.S. Territories, or Canada must present a valid, unexpired government-issued Driver’s license which includes a photograph of the customer.  Digital licenses are not accepted.  The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period.

Members of the United States Armed Forces who are on active duty may present an expired home state license under the following conditions:

• They also present an Active Military ID, and

• They are in compliance with their military extension policy of the state which issued the license.  These policies vary by state and customers are encouraged to check with the appropriate department of motor vehicles for more information.

Customers renting in Florida and presenting a Connecticut or Delaware license: As of July 1, 2023, certain, but not all, licenses issued by the foregoing states are considered invalid under Florida law and will not be accepted.  Please check with the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to determine if your license is valid under Florida law.  As of August 14, 2023, information regarding license validity was able to be located at the following webpage on the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website - https://www.flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/visiting-florida-faqs/

Customers travelling to the U.S. and Canada from other countries

It is important that customers check with the appropriate Department of Motor Vehicles in the States or Provinces in which they intend to travel to ensure compliance with their various licensing laws. Digital licenses are not accepted. The following practices are used to ensure the customer is presenting a facially valid license at the time of rental. 

Customers traveling to the United States and Canada from another country must present the following:

• Their home country driver’s license that is valid, unexpired and includes a photograph, and

• If the home country license is in a language other than English (or French, for rentals in Canada) and the letters are English (i.e. German, Spanish, etc.) an International Driver’s Permit is recommended, but not required, for translation purposes in addition to the home country license.  

• If the home country license is in a language other than English and the letters are not English (i.e.alphabet is not an extended Latin-based alphabet like German or Spanish but is Russian, Japanese, Arabic, etc.) an International Driver’s Permit is required. 

• If an International Driver’s permit cannot be obtained in the home country, another professional, type-written translation may be substituted.  In either case the home country license must also be presented.

• Customers may not rent a vehicle solely with the International Driver’s Permit.  The International Driver’s Permit is a translation of the individual’s home country license and is not considered a license nor is it considered valid identification.

• In some US locations, customers not holding a US driver’s license may be asked to provide additional documentation.  Examples of this may include a valid passport or, in certain states (AZ, CA, CO, NM, TX) a valid Mexican voter registration card and/or inbound and outbound travel documentation.
   
• In some Canadian locations, customers not holding a Canadian driver’s license may be asked to provide additional valid government-issued documentation.  Examples of this may include a valid passport.

Other requirements

• Photocopies of Driver’s Licenses are not accepted

• “Learner’s Permits” are not accepted.

• Any license which, on its face, restricts the licensee to the use and operation of a vehicle equipped with a form of a breathalyzer apparatus is not accepted.

• Temporary Driver’s Licenses may be refused if the renting location is unable to otherwise verify the customer’s identity or verify the authenticity of the temporary license.  Additional Government-issued identification may be required.

Personal Accident Insurance – Personal Effects Coverage – THE PURCHASE OF PERSONAL ACCIDENT AND PERSONAL EFFECTS INSURANCE (PAI-PEC) IS OPTIONAL AND OFFERED AT THE TIME OF RENTAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL DAILY CHARGE. THE PAI-PEC IS NOT REQUIRED TO RENT A VEHICLE.  PLEASE READ THE CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE WORDING CAREFULLY FOR A FULL DESCRIPTION OF COVERAGE AND EXCLUSIONS.  The PAI coverage provides renter and renter’s passengers with accidental death, dismemberment, and accident medical expenses and ambulance expense benefits. The PEC coverage insures the personal effects of the renter, additional drivers, or anyone who is travelling with the renter against risks of loss or damage to personal effects.  Benefits are payable in addition to any other insurance coverage the renter or passengers may have.  The coverage provided by PAI-PEC may duplicate the renter’s existing coverage. National is not qualified to evaluate the adequacy of the renter’s existing coverage.  Therefore, the renter should examine his or her personal insurance policies or other coverage(s) that may duplicate the coverage provided by PAI-PEC.  This is a summary only. PAI-PEC is subject to the provisions, limitations and exclusions of the PAI-PEC policy, which is underwritten by AIG Insurance Company of Canada. The premium for PAI-PEC is 6.99 CAD per day.

Please read the Renter Requirements Policy for details pertaining to deposits and general rental requirements at this location.
