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

Renting a car is a great way to travel freely—whether you’re heading out on vacation, a weekend trip, or a business trip. But even a minor accident or scratch can result in high costs. With most rentals, the driver pays a deductible that can range from hundreds to thousands of euros.
To avoid such inconveniences, there’s DEFEND Car Hire XS deductible insurance—a simple solution that protects you from unexpected expenses during your car rental.

What Is Excess Insurance and Why Is It Worth It?

Basic insurance from a car rental company covers only a portion of the damage. The remainder— the deductible—is paid by the driver out of pocket.
With DEFEND Car Hire XS insurance, however, this amount will be reimbursed up to the selected coverage limit. In the event of an accident, damage, or theft, the policy will cover the resulting costs. This way, you can drive worry-free and enjoy your trip to the fullest.

What the Insurance Covers

Collision damage waiver insurance covers most common situations that may arise during a car rental:

• damage caused by a traffic accident,

• damage to the windshield, tires, or rims,

• damage to the roof, undercarriage, or interior,

• loss or damage to keys,

• theft of the vehicle or its parts.

With this insurance, you can travel with the assurance that even in the event of unexpected incidents, you won’t be caught off guard by high financial costs.

Who Is This Insurance For

DEFEND Car Hire XS insurance is intended for anyone who rents a vehicle from AVIS, ranging from passenger cars to vans and 9-passenger vehicles.
The insurance can be purchased for drivers aged 21 and older and also covers multiple drivers, provided they are listed in the rental agreement.

Easy online purchase

You can arrange your insurance quickly and conveniently online, even before picking up the vehicle.
Simply enter your rental details, select your coverage level, and you’ll receive the insurance policy immediately via email.
