Insurance included as standard

The standard insurance covering damage and theft offers good coverage in the event of damage to or theft of your rental car. Make sure you are aware of the deductible.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

In the event of damage, the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance policy covers most of the costs. This includes situations where you cause the damage or the car is totaled, for example. Please note: you will often have to pay a deductible. In addition, damage to tires, windows, mirrors, the underside, roof, interior and keys are never covered.

Third Party Insurance (TPI)

Third Party Insurance covers material damage to another car or physical injury to persons who are not riding in your rental car. This coverage is sufficient within the EU. It may be insufficient outside the EU. Check with your rental company, and take out extra coverage at the rental location if necessary.

Theft Protection (TP)

Theft Protection largely covers the cost of a stolen car. This only applies to the car itself, not to any property in the car. This is covered by your travel insurance, assuming that you have it of course. Please note: Theft Protection also has a deductible.
