Carefree Travel with AVIS: Comprehensive Rental Car Insurance

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

At AVIS, we offer not only high-quality and reliable rental cars, but also insurance that protects you in case of unexpected situations. Thanks to our partnership with DEFEND Insurance, a leader in specialized insurance, we can ensure you have maximum peace of mind on every drive.

Why Choose Rental Car Insurance?

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

• An accident caused by another driver
• Parking damage (dents, scratches)
• A broken windshield or damaged rims
• Vandalism or theft
• Natural disasters (hail, fallen branches, flooding)

Although this damage is covered by the basic auto collision insurance included in the policy, it comes with a deductible that the client must pay. And that can amount to hundreds of euros!

That’s exactly why we recommend extended coverage, which will spare you these expenses.

What does our insurance cover?

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 costs in the event of vehicle damage.

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

✅ Protection against theft or break-ins
Even if your car is stolen, you won’t face any financial risk.

✅ Coverage for windows, tires, and the undercarriage
A rough stretch of road, a flying rock, or a distracted driver won’t throw you off anymore.

✅ Roadside assistance and peace of mind
In the event of an accident or damage, we’ll help you resolve the situation quickly and without unnecessary complications.

Types of insurance we offer:

1. Standard collision insurance (included in the rental price)
• Coverage for damage, but with a high deductible (e.g., €800–1,500)
• Does not cover selected vehicle parts (e.g., glass, wheels, interior)

2. DEFEND Extended Insurance (recommended)
• Reduced or zero deductible (depending on the package)
• Coverage for windows, wheels, roof, interior, and undercarriage
• Protection against theft and vandalism
• Valid throughout the EU (if you travel with the vehicle)

How do I get insurance?

✅ Simply when booking a vehicle online or at a branch
✅ Choose the type of insurance that best suits your needs
✅ The insurance cost will be added to your rental fee
✅ Everything is transparent and specified in the contract

How much does insurance cost?

The price of insurance can vary depending on several factors. The type of vehicle is the primary consideration—different terms apply to economy models, such as the Kia Ceed SW, and different terms apply to premium cars. The rental duration and the insurance package you choose—ranging from basic coverage to insurance with no deductible—also play an important role.

👉 For an accurate calculation, we recommend contacting us or reviewing the pricing packages directly when booking your vehicle. You’ll see everything clearly laid out with no hidden fees.
