Carefree travel with AVIS: Comprehensive rental car insurance

Travelling by car should be comfortable, flexible and stress-free.

At AVIS , we not only offer you quality and reliable rental vehicles, but also insurance to protect you in case of unexpected situations. Thanks to our partnership with DEFEND Insurance, a leader in specialist insurance, we can ensure you are assured of maximum security during every drive.

Why choose rental car insurance ?

Many clients underestimate the risks associated with renting a car. But even if you drive carefully, damages can happen:

• An accident caused by another driver
• Parking damage (dents, scratches)
• Broken windscreen or damaged wheels
• Vandalism or theft
• Natural elements (hail, fallen branch, flood)

Although these damages are covered by the basic car breakdown insurance included in the contract, they come with a deductible that the client must pay. And it can be hundreds of euros !

That is why we recommend an extended insurance that will relieve you of these expenses.

What is covered by our insurance ?

Rental car insurance through DEFEND Insurance covers a wide range of risks. The main benefits include:

✅ Reduction or complete elimination of the deductible
No more high out-of-pocket surcharges when the vehicle is damaged.

✅ Coverage for both minor and major damage
Even a small scratch on the paintwork can be expensive - insurance will cover it.

✅ Protection against theft or burglary
Even if your car is stolen, you are not financially at risk.

✅ Glass, tyre and undercarriage insurance
A bad stretch of road, a flying stone or a distracted driver will no longer be your undoing.

How much does insurance cost ?

The cost of insurance can vary depending on a number of factors. In particular, the type of car is taken into account - different conditions apply to economy models and others to premium cars. The length of the rental period and the insurance package you choose - from basic cover to no excess - also play an important role.
