Travel stress-free: excess insurance protects you from unexpected expenses

Hiring a car is a great way to travel freely - whether you're going on holiday, a weekend trip or a business trip. But even a small accident or scrape can mean a big expense. That's because with most rentals, the driver pays a deductible that can run into hundreds or thousands of euros.
To avoid such inconveniences, there's the DEFEND Car Hire XS deductible insurance - a simple solution that will protect you from unexpected expenses while renting a car.

What is excess insurance and why is it worth it

Basic car hire insurance only covers part of the damage. The driver pays the rest, the excess, out of his own pocket.
However, with DEFEND Car Hire XS insurance, you will be reimbursed up to the amount of the chosen sum insured. If there is an accident, damage or theft, the policy will cover the costs incurred. So you can drive without worry and enjoy your journey to the full.

What the insurance covers

Deductible insurance covers most common situations that can arise during car rental:

• damage caused by a traffic accident,

• damage to the windscreen, wheels or rims,

• damage to the roof, chassis or interior,

• loss or damage to keys,

• theft of the vehicle or parts of the vehicle.

With this insurance, you can travel with the confidence that even in the event of unexpected events, you won't be surprised by high financial costs.

Who is the insurance for

DEFEND Car Hire XS insurance is for anyone who rents a vehicle from AVIS, from cars to vans and 9-seater vehicles.
The insurance can be taken out for drivers aged 21 and over and also covers multiple drivers if they are named in the hire contract.
