We offer two types of insurance coverage:
CDW – Collision Damage Waiver (Basic Insurance Cover)
Mandatory | Included in website prices
Requires a security deposit of €1,500, payable on the vehicle delivery day. The deposit is fully refundable at the end of the rental period, minus bank transaction fees, provided that no accident or damage occurs. In the event of any accident or damage, the Lessee is liable for costs up to €1,500. The security deposit will not be refunded if any accident or damage is recorded. CDW does not cover damage resulting from negligence, misuse, reckless driving, traffic violations, or breach of contract. In such cases, the Driver is fully responsible for the total repair cost and any associated losses.
SCDW – Super Collision Damage Waiver (Premium Insurance Cover)
Recommended | Deposit Waiver
No security deposit required. In the event of an accident or damage under normal driving conditions, an excess fee of €100 applies. Provides enhanced protection and reduced financial exposure. SCDW does not cover accidents or damage caused by negligence, misconduct, speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, off-road driving, or any breach of the rental agreement. In such cases, the Driver remains fully liable for all costs.
For peace of mind and maximum financial protection, we strongly recommend upgrading to the SCDW Premium Insurance Cover.
