Excess on Insurance

Your Maximum Liability

Excess is dependent on the car; please see the table below. Excess is paid if:-
  • the car (tyres, windows, keys etc.) is damaged or lost, except if as of a result of an accident caused solely by another driver
  • the driver causes damage to other cars resulting in a claim.
If the terms and conditions of the car hire contract are violated, the insurance cover is invalidated. It is a term of the contract to report accidents to the police.

The car hire company charge clients an Accident Administration Fee of 35 Euro per occurrence, if the car is returned damaged. This fee applies independent of the number or value of the damage caused to the vehicle. You may avoid paying this fee by opting to have the additional insurance to limit excess.
