Limit your liability and avoid extra costs by choosing a coverage option. By choosing extra options online you benefit from the best pricing.

Collision Damage Waiver And Theft Protection (CDWTP) reduces liability in the event of damage or theft of the vehicle when no responsible third party is identified. If purchased or included in the rate the deductible for the car categories Mini, Economy, Compact, Intermediate and Full-Size is 900 EUR, and for the car categories Premium and Luxury it is 1200 EUR.
This product only covers damages to the body of the vehicle. It does not cover roof, tires, rims, and windows, broken/loss of keys, or contamination of fuel. Damage to the underbody and/or roof due to collision with bridges, tunnels, overhanging structures, etc. is excluded from the damage cover unless a force majeure can be proved.
Before purchasing CDWTP it is advised to determine if a personal coverage is adequate to cover damage, theft, loss of revenue, administration fees, diminishment of value, and any towing, storage, or impound fees. If CDWTP is declined, the renter will be required to pay these charges and seek compensation through their carrier of personal coverage. CDWTP is not insurance.

All rentals where the vehicle is not returned to the same location as pick-up will be subject to a one-way fee. Domestic and international one-way rentals are permitted to selected locations and must be pre-booked or authorized at the time of pick-up. The one-way fee varies based on car category, location and pick up date. The exact amount of the one-way fee will be displayed during the reservation process when entering the dates, desired route and car category.

If the vehicle is returned with less than a full tank a charge of 2.95 EUR per liter excluding VAT will be applied for refueling service/fuel shortage.
