TERMS & CONDITIONS

​

​

Deposits, Excess and Cover

​

Normally, the car hire company will not require a deposit if you rent the car with full insurance directly with the supplier ('SCDW' option).

But, if you ask the car without full insurance (Parcial Insurance), with deposit/excess, it will be returned after the rental, as long as all conditions have been met. 

​

There is 3 options:

- 'CDW': The Collision Damage Waiver exist If the car’s bodywork gets damaged during your rental, the most you’ll pay towards repairs covered by the policy is the damage excess of 400€ (Group A, B, B+, C, C+,D), 800€ (Group D+,E) and 1600€ (Group F). 

- 'ER-CDW': The 'excess reduction' supplement allows to reduce the responsibility for the excess to the amount of 200€ (Group A, B, B+, C, C+,D), 400€ (Group D+,E) and 800€ (Group F). 

- 'SCDW': This supplement, eliminates liability for damage  on bodywork, glass, rims, tyre (only punctures). The insurance is taken directly with the rental company.
Advantages of direct insurance: You do not need to contact insurance companies or third parties websites to return the money charged by rental companies (Ex: insurance on the credit card or insurance with operators/agencies). No paperwork to deal with!

-Keys and documents of the car in case of loss;
