Frequently Asked Questions

It's important that you have your insurance policy with us before you collect your rental car because it's the only way that we can be sure that you didn't damage the car and then decide to buy insurance to cover the cost.

A European policy with us covers you in all EU, EEA countries (excluding Iceland), Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
For all other countries, you will need to purchase Worldwide cover. This includes the Faroe Islands and Turkey.
We will not cover trips in, to or through:

• Armenia, Dominican Republic, Iceland, Israel or Jamaica.

Please also refer to the general policy conditions and exclusions applying to all sections.

The rental vehicle cannot be a motor home, trailer, caravan, van, truck, non-passenger carrying vehicle, vehicle that carries more than 9 people including the driver, motorcycle, moped, motorbike, off-road* or recreational vehicle.
The vehicle must not have a retail price of more than [#]50,000 (or currency equivalent) and be no more than 10 years old.
* 4x4 vehicles are not excluded if they are being driven on public highways, put they must not go off-road.

The Lead Driver on the rental agreement needs to be the Policyholder, so the Cover4Rental policy will not be valid if you are an additional driver, you must be the Lead Driver.

As the policyholder, you are covered for car rental agreements taken out in your name with you as the Lead Driver on the car rental agreement. The Cover4Rentals policy extends to anyone who is down as an additional driver on the rental agreement - as long as they're aged between 26 and 84 and the rental agreement is in your name.

We provide policies with a maximum rental duration of 60 days. You can have unlimited car rental agreements as long as the duration of your rental does not exceed that stated on your certificate of insurance, and your total claims remain within the policy claim limits.

Our claims are handled by are partners at ClaimEz. All you need to do is fill out their online claim form within 31 days of you being charged by the rental company. For more information on what you need to do should you have to claim, head to our claims page.

Your rental company does not need to accept your cover. You simply decline their excess waiver, which means if you damage the rental vehicle, they will charge you an excess, which you will then claim back from us.

The main difference between Silver cover and Gold, is you need to take out Gold cover if you are renting your vehicle in your country you live in, or if you need your excess increased to [#]50,000 which might be the case in countries such as the US and Canada. Our Gold cover is also a more comprehensive policy and increases your cover to include misfuelling and being locked out of your vehicle – below is the full list.

Collision Damage Waiver is usually but not always included in European car rental agreements. It literally means if you damage your rental vehicle, the car rental company will waive (not charge you) for the cost of the damage up to your excess amount. So, for instance if you damage your vehicle and the cost of repair is [#]5,000, and your excess is [#]2,000, you will be charged [#]2,000, so in theory the remaining [#]3,000 is not charged (Waived or CDW).
