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.
