Car rental insurance protects you from unexpected situations during your holiday.

Basic insurance (CDW - Collision Damage Waiver): Covers damage to the vehicle in case of an accident, but usually has an excess amount.

Comprehensive insurance: Provides more comprehensive protection, reducing or completely eliminating the excess.

Third party insurance: Covers damage you cause to others and is legally required.

Theft insurance: Protects you in case of vehicle theft.

When choosing insurance, carefully examine the coverage area, excess amount and additional costs.
