Provided insurance Options

Third-party insurance (THD)

This insurance, included in all rental prices, protects individuals or firms against losses caused by third parties, as Greek law requires. The insured (first party) purchases the policy from the insurance provider/company (second party) to cover claims made by third parties in the event of an incident. The hirer or driver is responsible only for damages to the rental vehicle, while the insurance covers third-party claims, regardless of the cause.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

A collision damage waiver (CDW) is an additional insurance coverage offered (with extra cost) to an individual renting an automobile. It is optional (upgrade from the third-party), with the price of the waiver dependent on a variety of factors, like the type of rental vehicle and where it’s used, etc. The waiver typically covers the car’s bodywork with an excess of the liable to the hirer amount. However, CDW does not cover damage to tires, windshields, windows, the vehicle’s underside, or any non-physical damages resulting from improper use and extras, such as GPS, child seats or ski racks, towing charges, and extra cleaning costs if needed.

Full Damage Waiver (FDW)

The Full Damage Waiver (FDW) is an optional insurance coverage for an additional daily fee on rentals exceeding 5 days. The cost depends on the car category. FDW helps protect renters from financial liability in case of damage caused by a collision or accident. With FDW, renters have zero euro excess, meaning they won’t be responsible for repair costs. However, FDW does not cover damage to tires, windshields, windows, the vehicle’s underside, or any non-physical damages resulting from improper use and extras, such as GPS, child seats or ski racks, towing charges, and extra cleaning costs if needed.

Damage Deposit Policy

A damage deposit (blocking amount) is required at the time of vehicle pickup and can be paid by credit card or in cash. The deposit will be refunded upon vehicle drop-off, provided the car is returned in the same condition as received.

For credit card owners, the deposit will be temporarily blocked as a guarantee during the pickup process. The amount depends on the selected insurance type, corresponding to the excess/deductible amount.

If the hirer does not have a credit card, a cash deposit option is available, but only with the purchase of additional insurance. In this case, the required cash deposit will be the excess/deductible amount.

The deposit will be refunded in the same manner it was paid after the rental period, provided the vehicle is returned in its original condition.
