Make sure your excess is protected

When you hire a car, Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is normally included in your rental. It limits your liability if the car is damaged or stolen, but it usually comes with a car hire excess, the amount you could still be responsible for paying.
 
Depending on the car group you hire, that excess can be around €1,500–€4,000. That’s a significant amount of money to have at risk.
 
Three ways to protect yourself:
1. Basic CDW + Car Hire Excess Insurance — *our recommendation.*
Protect your money with a car hire excess insurance policy from Bettersafe, our specialist partner. For a small premium, your policy can cover the excess you would otherwise have to pay following accidental damage or theft. Cover starts from around £20 for a week.

2. Upgrade to Super CDW locally. You can choose to reduce your financial liability by purchasing Super Collision Damage Waiver from the car hire company, at approximately €25 per day.
 
3. Take the risk.
Keep the basic CDW and accept responsibility for the excess if the vehicle is damaged or stolen.
 
Our recommendation
For many customers, Basic CDW + a separate car hire excess policy offers a cost-effective way to protect your money, without paying the daily cost of upgrading your rental agreement.
NB: If you take out Car Hire Excess Insurance, the lead driver on the car rental agreement must be the same person named on the insurance policy. You must also use the same email address for both the car rental agreement and the insurance policy.
 
  • The car hire company's excess is the maximum amount you could be liable for if the vehicle is stolen or damaged. The exact amount depends on the car group and rental terms.

Good to know

Tyres and windscreens

This is not included in the standard CDW. We recommend taking out the excess insurance mentioned above, as any punctures or windscreen damage may be charged for.

Bookable extras

Booster seats and child seats (front-facing for children 8-18kg) can be reserved via us at the time of booking, at a supplement; however, we recommend you take your own booster/childseats, which can be carried free of charge on many of our flights. For babies requiring a rear-facing seat, these must be taken by you.

Young drivers 

Drivers must be at least 21 years old and have held a full licence for at least one year. Drivers under 25 will incur a daily young driver supplement, payable locally at €44pd.

Please remember to leave your car as clean as possible, as car hire companies can charge a cleaning fee for returning a dirty car.

Transfers in Corsica
