RentalCover provides rental protection and our partners are responsible for the rentals (a lot of our partners have very similar names to RentalCover, so it’s easy to get us mixed up).
This means that for most customers we also handle cancellations and other changes on RentalCover. Read this article for step-by-step instructions on how to cancel or modify your RentalCover Protection.

For customers who are considering {% if (booking.customer.country.Code == 'CA') or (booking.customer.country.Code == 'US') %}canceling{% else %}cancelling{% endif %} their RentalCover protection, if the protection has not yet commenced we offer credit notes that can be used on future bookings. Please read this article for more information on credit notes.

About your protection

The first major difference is that rentals in the US do not always include CDW at the time of booking (as explained in our Rental Guides, CDW - or Collision Damage Waiver - waives most of the rental car damages in the event of an accident). Instead it is available at the rental desk. This is because Americans (and Canadians) are covered by their own car insurance (in most other countries car insurance is tied to the vehicle rather than a driver). RentalCover's CDW is available for Americans and visitors to the US and is equivalent to those sold at the desk, for up to 50% less.†

Secondly, CDW policies are typically zero - or low-excess (called a "deductible" in the US), meaning the amount to pay in the event of an accident is smaller than other countries if you have CDW. Our "Extra Protection for USA" covers that amount for US visitors and also includes roadside assistance, which is also at the rental desk for up to 50% extra cost.†.

Thirdly, if you have an accident in the US and are found to be at fault, you are liable if there are damages to other vehicles or injuries to other people. Unfortunately, those costs can be significant because rental companies are only required to carry a small amount of third-party liability cover for their vehicles (the amount differs from state to state). Supplemental Liability Insurance ("SLI") mitigates the third-party liability risk. Equivalent options are available for US residents and visitors alike and are sold by rental companies and RentalCover. 

US rental cars typically have a lower excess (called a 'deductible' in the US).  

it is not mandatory for car owners (i.e. the rental companies) to insure hired cars nor is it mandatory for them to insure the drivers against third-party personal & property damage (this is called "Liability Insurance" or "Supplementary Liability Insurance"), nor personal injury to the driver (called "Personal Accident Insurance"). Those responsibilities fall to the renter. This is not the case in the EU, Australia, NZ and most other countries so it is important that you understand the options and purpose of each insurance product that you will be offered by the rental companies! The other main difference to other countries is that the rental companies do not offer "Super CDW", "Super LDW" or equivalent "premium" insurance products. When sold in Europe and most of the World, these products are designed to reduce your excess towards zero from an amount that is usually between €/£/$1,000-4,000. In the US all rentals are sold with either the renter being liable for the full amount of the vehicle, or there is zero deductible excess: there's nothing in between! Our "Extra Cover for USA" fills the considerable "out of pocket" costs that still remain even when there is no deductible excess.

CDW/LDW

From March 2016 onwards, RentalCover will be selling CDW for US residents from AON. When you purchase CDW from rental companies it is usually called "LDW" if it includes theft protection, so RentalCover Protection is equivalent to LDW. The only difference between a CDW offered independently by us versus the policy offered at the rental desk is that your insurance company (AON) will handle the payments to the rental company for any damages, whereas there is no reimbursement/recovery process if you purchase the rental company's CDW/LDW.

It is important to know if your booking contains CDW or LDW! If it doesn't have it already and you are a US resident, you can buy it from RentalCover. If you are not a US resident, we always advise that you make sure your car booking includes CDW/LDW from the rental company. 

There are differences in how the websites of rental companies present CDW/LDW to international drivers vis-à-vis their agents (an "agent" might be an airline, hotel or a price comparison site):

1. For international drivers, the vast majority of websites will automatically include CDW or LDW. If for some other reason CDW or LDW is not automatically included, it will be available at the rental desk. Please read carefully when booking and check your car confirmation!

2. If you book from within the US or are a US resident, CDW/LDW will not be included by default. You can buy RentalCover Protection from RentalCover and save approximately 50%† or add it at the rental desk. Sometimes you can add it on the website at the time of booking. Most US domestic travellers can rely on their credit cards or personal motor insurance, however the excess on those policies often outweighs the cost of rental vehicle repairs.

SLI (Supplementary Liability Insurance)

Rental companies also offer insurance for third party property and third party personal that is usually called SLI ("Supplementary Liability Insurance") or LIS or simply, "Liability". SLI provides coverage for claims relating to third parties, namely third party property and third party injury. These policies have coverage limits so you should be conscious of how much is reasonably needed in the event of a major accident and/or negligence. Given the potential liability we always stress to drive carefully in the US and always purchase SLI from the rental company.

At the time of writing, RentalCover does not sell SLI.

Please also refer to our "What is SLI?" FAQ

Theft Protection

Theft Cover is also called Theft Protection and it may or may not provide coverage to arson and vandalism, depending on the protection. There will always be limitations surrounding negligence. We encourage you to read the relevant terms to check if your RentalCover Protection includes theft. Note also that RentalCover's "CDW" and "Extra Cover for USA" policies include theft, arson and vandalism. 

PAI (Personal Accident Insurance)

PAI provides coverage to you and your passengers for personal injuries up to a certain limit. PAI might be automatically included when an international driver books a car on either the rental company's website or via the website of an agent/airline/price comparison service. Please check the RentalCover limits if you have or intend to have personal accident insurance to determine if the cover is adequate. Check out our "What is PAI (Personal Accident Insurance)?" for examples and further detail.

Roadside Assistance

RentalCover's "Extra Protection for USA" includes free Roadside Assistance and it provides coverage to related costs such as callout fees, towing, fuel top-up, tyres, windscreen repair, etc., plus the considerable out-of-pocket costs that you might incur (such as impound storage fees, key loss/replacement, headlight/battery repair/replacement, fire and theft, "relocation fees" to get the vehicle back to its intended destination, card fees that are applied along the way, administration/processing fees for accidents, and "loss of use" fees that are charged while the vehicle is off the road being fixed).

Som beskrevet i USA FAQ , er forsikringsalternativene for USA forskjellig fra de fleste UK / EU og Australia / NZ og Asia. Fordi amerikanske utleier solgt til internasjonale reisende generelt inkluderer null fradragsberettiget (det vil si ikke noe mer i tilfelle av en ulykke), vil du bli tilbudt tilleggsveiledning på leiebaren.

Vår veibeskrivelse gir deg dekning av alle typer kostnader som du måtte pådra deg, inkludert tauing, påfylling av avgifter, nøkkelutskifting, batteri og vindusvisker / dekk / lett reparasjon eller erstatning og selvfølgelig avkallingsavgiften og eventuelle andre reparasjoner. Du kan også kreve ubrukt del av reisen din som følge av tidlig leieavtale. Vi gir også dekning til ekstra kostnader som brukes av utleiefirmaer som følge av hendelsen, hovedsakelig kredittkortavgift, administrasjon / behandlingskostnader og "brukskostnader" (utleiefirmaene gjenoppretter tapte inntekter mens kjøretøyet er av veien blir løst).

Gå til www.rentalcover.com/claim hvis du ender med å betale en regning til utleiefirmaet for veibeskrivelse eller andre kostnader. 

Følgende informasjon gjelder kun for kunder i USA. For informasjon om andre regioner, vennligst se på vanlige spørsmål for det aktuelle landet.

Supplerende ansvarsforsikring (SLI) dekker skader på andre sjåfører og deres kjøretøy. I noen land er denne "dekningen av tredjepart" påkrevd hos kjøretøyets eier, for eksempel bilutleiefirmaet. Men de fleste stater i USA krever ikke obligatorisk tredjepartsansvar, noe som betyr at sjåføren potensielt har ansvar for skader på andre mennesker og deres eiendom.

Om du kjører i en av disse statene, vil bilutleiefirmaet tilby deg supplerende ansvarsforsikring (SLI), vanligvis med dekning mellom 1 og 2 millioner dollar. Generelt vil vi råde deg til å ta supplerende ansvarsforsiking (SLI) om utleiefirmaet tilbyr deg det.

 

Hvor mye dekning blir vanligvis tilbudt?

I USA har hver stat ulike regler for om dekning av tredjepart må tilbys, og ofte er det lovfestede minstebeløpet på dekning ganske lavt. Tross det vil de fleste som tilbyr supplerende ansvarsforsikring dekke deg opp til 1-2 millioner dollar, og i noen tilfeller opp til 10 millioner.

 
  Minimum lovfestet dekning  
Stat Én person Flere personer Eiendom Leverandør av supplerende ansvarsforsikring
California $15 000 $30 000 $5000 $1-2 millioner
Florida $10 000 $20 000 $10 000 $1-2 millioner
Nevada $15 000 $30 000 $10 000 $1-2 millioner
New York $25 000 $50 000 $10 000 $1-2 millioner
Andre $10-50 000 $30-100 000 $5-25 000 $1-2 millioner
 

Er jeg dekket om det ikke er min skyld?

Generelt ikke. I de fleste tilfeller vil du kun kunne kreve erstatning for skade på tredjepart om du var sjåføren som forårsaket det. Det eneste unntaket er hvis en domstol finner deg skyldig i en ulykke der tredjepart ble rammet selv om det ikke ble direkte forårsaket av deg. Men dette varierer basert på vilkårene dine.

 

Et eksempel på når det ikke er din skyld

RentalCover.com-kunden Eric Clapton besøker venner i California, og han leier en bil for å komme seg rundt. I det Eric runder en sving, tar en taxisjåfør med hastverk en ulovlig u-sving og krasjer i siden på Eric's bil. Selv om taxisjåføren får erstatning for bilen sin, må ikke Eric's supplerende ansvarsforsikring dekke dette ettersom det ikke var hans skyld.

 

Hvordan fungerer erstatningskravprosessen?

For å komme med et krav på supplerende ansvarsforsikring, må du kontakte utleiefirmaets forsikringsleverandør direkte. Forsikringsselskapet vil be deg om å utstede et erstatningskrav, og de vil be om dokumentasjon på forsikringen din og kravet du kommer med (vanligvis et forsikringsbevis, kvittering på betaling, kopier av fakturaer og politirapporter samt andre detaljer fra tredjepart med bevis på skader som har oppstått).

  1. Våre forsikringer er 50 % billigere enn utleiefirmaenes, garantert!
  2. Gled deg over reisen uten å måtte bekymre deg for at utleiefirmaene tar for mye for skader!
  3. Våre forsikringer er tilpasset de unike erstatningskravene til utleie av kjøretøy for hvert enkelt land.
  4. Ulykkerelaterte avgifter er kostbare - vi dekker dem fullt ut.
  5. Våre assurandører er noen av de globalt best kjente.
  6. Ulykker med flere kjøretøy kan være kompliserte. Vi håndterer alle forsikringene frem og tilbake, og refunderer deg med én gang, så du kan slappe av (se vår guide for erstatningskrav).
Våre leieguider forklarer hvordan alt fungerer.
Forsikringer er alltid beregnet for hele kalenderdager for å sikre at du er dekket for hele turen selv om du henter tidlig eller leverer sent!

Våre leieguider forklarer hvordan alt fungerer. 
 

To shorten or extend your protection please follow these steps:

1. Visit My Account

3. Lastly, choose your protection and select Extend / Reduce dates. 

Reducing Days
You can only reduce unused days. This means refunds are not available for today and other preceding days. If you reduce the number of days we will refund you the difference to your original payment card. 

Adding Days
If you are extending your dates you will just need to pay the additional amount.
However, you will not be able to extend your protection if the end date has already passed (i.e. you cannot extend your booking if it is January 2, and the protection ends on January 1). If you have extended your rental and need extra protection, please create a new RentalCover booking for the remaining days of your rental.

RentalCover is an alternative to the waivers sold by rental companies (also called "Super Collision Damage Waiver" and various other names) for up to twice the price.†

RentalCover Protection covers cars, 4x4s, motorhomes/RVs, campervans, minibuses and caravans. While cars are available for any destination, we only cover 4x4s, motorhomes/RVs, campervans, minibuses and caravans in selected countries. You can choose your vehicle type on the RentalCover homepage when creating a quote. 

RentalCover does not cover supercars, high-end sports vehicles, motorcycles or quadbikes. For more specific information on what vehicle types are not covered, please refer to this helpful article

RentalCover also does not cover vehicle modifications such as bike rack attachments, child seats, additional sleeping berths and more. 

Please note that your vehicle type may depend on the configuration of your vehicle and where you are planning to drive. Please refer to this helpful article for information on what vehicle type to select. 

For specific details on what’s covered and not covered, please view your wording in your RentalCover Account.

Follow the tips below to avoid the hassle and have a safe, stress-free trip. There are more details in our Rental Guides.

1. Your RentalCover Protection is valid and doesn't need to be "recognised"!

If you are told by the rental company that they don’t recognise your RentalCover Protection, just explain that you are covered by RentalCover. Rental companies have "waivers" that compete with RentalCover and are up to twice the price, with many common types of damages excluded.† 

2. But if they refuse to rent you a vehicle...
If the rental company refuses to provide you with a vehicle, you can either:

  • ​Try to rent with another company. If their price is higher, you might still save money because of the cheaper RentalCover Protection, or
  • Cancel your RentalCover Protection. Instructions for how to login are provided below.

3. Be prepared

Have all required documents ready for your check-in and take a look at your country’s Rental Guide for a detailed overview of the waivers sold by rental companies at your destination.

4. Be confident

In buying protection from us, you have chosen to be covered by a global distributor of protection products with a proven track record of assessing claims in a timely fashion. We have been doing this since 2014 and our customers rate us "excellent" on consumer review website, TrustPilot.

5. If you have questions about the vehicle or need to change your rental booking

We recommend speaking to the rental company about anything relating to your vehicle. If you need to make changes or have a question about your booking, for example, if you need to reduce or increase your rental days, you can manage it via your booking agent. 

When you first visit RentalCover you will need to activate your account. Simply find the RentalCover confirmation SMS or email in your inbox or spam and click the activation link. If you’re having issues, it may be because the email addresses of some Apple users aren’t shared with RentalCover. Instead, you can simply click on the link provided in the confirmation email you received when you purchased RentalCover Protection and update your email address. From your RentalCover Account, you can make a claim, make changes or view your wording.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)

CDW (and Loss Damage Waiver, which adds Theft Protection to CDW) is usually included in the rental rate that you see on a website. Note that these “waivers” just reduce your risk from a high amount (similar to the full value of the car) to somewhere between US$/£/€1500 and US$/£/€3000 depending on the car and the rental company. That lowered amount is called the "excess" and it's payable in the event of an accident.

"Super Collision Damage Waiver" (SCDW) and our Full Protection

SCDW (also called "Damage Liability Waiver" and many other names) is sold at the rental desk and it lowers the excess towards $0 (the amount payable can still be as high as US$/£/€500 depending on the rental company, plus other charges for administration fees, towing, loss of use and more). Our "Full Protection" provides equivalent protection up to 50% cheaper†, with $0 to pay in the event of an accident and it also covers the additional accident-related fees charged by rental companies.

Check if your RentalCover Protection requires you to have the rental company's CDW.

We understand that acronyms can be confusing. Learn what the most commonly used terms mean.

CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) 

CDW protects you if there’s damage to your rental however there is usually a remaining excess that can be as high as $7,500. The excess can be waived with SCDW. Read on for more information about how RentalCover works with CDW and SCDW.

SCDW (Super Collision Damage Waiver) 

SCDW is sold outside of the US. It waives the excess that’s payable if you have CDW. RentalCover is designed to do the same thing, for 50% cheaper † than the rental companies’ SCDW.

SLI (Supplemental Liability Insurance) - US only
SLI provides coverage for damages or injuries you may cause to another person or their property while operating a rental vehicle.

Excess ("deductible" in the US)​ 

A deductible (or “excess” outside of the US) is the amount payable by you if there’s damage to the rental vehicle. There is a deductible/excess for CDW that is waived by SCDW. RentalCover does not have a deductible/excess.

LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) 

This is the same as CDW but it adds theft and vandalism protection.

Loss of Use, Relocation & Towing Fees

Renters are often charged additional fees by rental companies if the rental requires repairs that keep it off the road (these “loss of use” fees are also called “demurrage”) or if the vehicle is a distance from the intended dropoff location (“relocation fees”) or if there’s costs incurred for towing the vehicle or processing a claim. These are usually payable even if you have CDW and SCDW (i.e. they are “exclusions” in CDW and SCDW). These are covered by RentalCover (i.e. they are “inclusions”).

Administration Fees & Other Charges
 
Rental companies often charge additional fees if there’s damage to the vehicle. These are usually payable even if you have CDW and SCDW. These are covered by RentalCover.

Våre leieguider forklarer hvordan alt fungerer.

While we make every effort to keep pricing consistent for our customers, multiple factors impact claims. Therefore the price that we charge can vary depending on travel dates, lead times, trip duration, car pricing and any fees charged (e.g. brokerage fees, booking fees, etc.). 

If you’re purchasing from one of our partners and the price is different to what’s listed on the RentalCover website, we have no control over our partners’ pricing and it cannot be adjusted by us. If you have any questions regarding the price set by our partners, please contact them directly.

You can either purchase RentalCover Protection directly via our partner, or the RentalCover website. As long as the protection type remains the same, the level of protection is also the same.
 
If you find a better price that’s not listed by one of our partners, we are happy to beat it. Just reply to any of our emails and include the required details of the alternative quote; in most countries, we are able to beat that price. However, if you were offered a better price from us in the past, we’re unable to offer it again if the prices have now changed.

RentalCover can only be used to cover one rental vehicle. The only exception is if your rental company replaces the vehicle, in which case your existing protection will still work.

With the exception of US SLI and CDI, our protection still works if your rental agreement permits you to drive the vehicle in other countries. You can view your wording in your RentalCover Account if you have any concerns about travel in sanctioned countries. 

When you first visit RentalCover you will need to activate your account. Simply find the RentalCover confirmation SMS or email in your inbox or spam and click the activation link. If you’re having issues, it may be because the email addresses of some Apple users aren’t shared with RentalCover. Instead, you can simply click on the link provided in the confirmation email you received when you purchased RentalCover Protection and update your email address.

Thank you for contacting RentalCover.com. We can confirm that your message was successfully received.

We can see that your questions has now been answered by a member of our Support team.

Therefore we will now proceed by closing this request, but if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Hvis du skader leiebilen din og leieselskapet gir deg en erstatningsbil, vil vår forsikring automatisk dekke deg, så lenge biltypen og poliseeierens opplysninger forblir de samme.

For alle andre forsikringsspørsmål kan du besøke våre Retningslinjer for leie

For å finne ut mer om hva som er inkludert i polisen din, hva du skal gjøre ved utleiedisken og informasjon om hvordan du skal gå frem hvis du har vært i en ulykke, må du lese våre landsspesifikke Retningslinjer for utleie.

The named driver and all additional drivers included on your customer's rental agreement are covered by their RentalCover Protection. There is no need to add any additional drivers to their RentalCover Protection because they are automatically covered free of charge. Encourage them to make sure the named driver's name on their rental agreement matches the name on their RentalCover Protection purchased on RentalCover.

Thinking of visiting other countries on their trip? With the exception of US SLI and CDI which, if collected in the US can only be driven in Canada (except if collected in New York which is restricted to the US), RentalCover Protection includes cover for additional countries as long as the rental vehicle was collected from the named country of pick-up and this is in accordance with the permissions set out in their rental agreement. 

They don't need to inform RentalCover of additional drivers or countries they are visiting but there may be territorial limitations within the RentalCover wording, for instance they would not be permitted to drive in countries that are sanctioned by the relevant country regulator.

Want more information? Our Rental Guides explain how everything works.
Car rental companies will sometimes require you to leave a small security deposit (£/$/€50 to £/$/€150) that's payable via card at pick up, as a security measure in case you damage the car and if you don't purchase the insurance they offer at the rental desk. The deposit is payable if you have RentalCover Protection, however their insurance is double the price of our equivalent in many instances.

For further information about the rental deposit, please contact your booking agent.
Customers can view, download or print their policy wording and invoice from their confirmation email we will send them after purchase.

Some rental companies will request to see proof of purchase and the policy wording before renting a vehicle, so you should encourage your customers to print / save their RentalCover email.
On the homepage we ask for the country you “live in”. 



You can choose a country that you currently live in, or have resided in recently or one where you have the right of abode. Most rental companies permit you to drive with an international driver's licence.

 
If you booked RentalCover Protection through one of our partners' websites, any change to your car rental will be reflected on your RentalCover Protection. If you’ve cancelled your car booking on our partner’s website, your insurance will also automatically be cancelled. 
 
If you’ve received our cancellation email but you didn’t want to cancel our cover, you should verify your car's booking status on the website you booked through. 
 
To repurchase RentalCover Protection, simply log in to your RentalCover Account, using your email and your RentalCover Protection reference number. This is the number which ends with "-INS" that can be found in the subject line of your confirmation email.
 
Age requirements can vary depending on our provider. To see the limits that apply to you, please check your wording. You can view, download or print your wording from your RentalCover Account.
 
Age restrictions only apply to the main driver, as any additional drivers are covered regardless of their age as long as your rental company allows them to drive the car.

US rental companies sell a policy called "Collision Damage Waiver" (CDW) to reduce your contribution to the rental car damage repair bill towards $0. "Supplemental Liability Insurance" (SLI) is also available which tops up the minimum state-mandated liability coverage that comes with the rental.

RentalCover's equivalent plans save you money in these ways:

1. The total price of the rental company's CDW and SLI is up to double the price of equivalent coverage from RentalCover.com.†
2. You may be responsible for a deductible with the rental company's CDW. There is no deductible with RentalCover's equivalent.
3. You may face a significant deductible if you choose to rely on your personal auto plan rather than the rental company's CDW or our equivalent. 
4. Because ours is primary coverage it doesn't impact your ongoing personal auto premiums.
5. CDW from the rental companies may not cover damages such as windshields, lamps, tires, undercarriage and damage-related fees such as loss of use and towing. 
  1. Sjekk at du har lagt inn riktig bookingreferanse og e-postadresse - det er lett å taste et feil tall! For å gjøre dette trenger du bookingreferansenummeret ditt som slutter med “-INS”, dette finner du i emnelinjen på bekreftelses-e-posten din. Vi anbefaler deg å kopiere og lime den inn, for å unngå feil. 
  2. Hvis du fortsatt ser en feilmelding, klikker du på lenken “Har du glemt bookingreferansen din?” Du kan deretter bekrefte e-postadressen din, så skal vi sende deg den siste bookingreferansen din slik at du får tilgang til bookingopplysningene dine.

If you have accidentally cancelled your RentalCover Protection, the refund has already been processed. However, you can purchase the same protection on RentalCover or click the “repurchase” link in the cancellation email that we sent when you cancelled.

If you purchased RentalCover Protection via one of our partners, it can take between 7 and 21 days for the refund to show on your card statement - please reach out to them directly if there’s a delay. If you purchased via RentalCover the refund is processed immediately however it may take up to 4 days to show.

Sometimes the limits of your RentalCover Protection are displayed in a different currency to the one you selected at purchase.

You can see the same limits in your preferred currency by clicking the question mark next to the ‘limit/excess details’ in your wording. Login to your RentalCover Account to get started.

No, our protection does not include luxury vehicles such as high-end supercars, high-end sports cars, classic cars and exotic vehicles e.g. Ferrari, Porsche, Bentley. These vehicles are either advertised as luxury vehicles by the rental company or have a replacement value higher than what's specified in your wording.

Please note depending on the rental company, vehicle types can be defined and categorised differently. To check if your rental car is a luxury, exotic or classic vehicle, please contact your rental company directly.

The restrictions defined in this article may not apply if you purchased Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) with us. To check the restrictions specific to your SLI purchase, please view your wording in your RentalCover Account.

This article has more information on what's not covered.

If you are travelling to the USA, it is recommended that you purchase Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) in addition to a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) policy to ensure you’re protected for third-party injury and damage. 
At RentalCover we support our millions of customers via our Help Centre. Should you wish to contact us you can also reply to any of our emails.
When purchasing RentalCover Protection via our website, the vehicle type you select may depend on the configuration of your vehicle and where you’re planning to drive. Please see the list below for a description of each vehicle type.

For specific details on what types of vehicles are covered and not covered, please refer to this helpful article.

Choose your vehicle

Car

Please select this option if your vehicle has fewer than 10 seats, including the driver’s seat, as well as vehicles with disability modifications. Electric cars are also covered in this category. 

This vehicle type is not covered for driving on unsealed roads. However, SUVs and 4X4 vehicles are covered under “Cars” if you plan to drive on sealed roads. If you’re planning to drive on unsealed roads, please select the 4x4 option instead.

4x4

Please select this option if you plan to drive on unsealed roads in accordance with the permissions set out in your rental agreement. If you have protection that excludes 4x4 vehicles, you will need to cancel that protection and purchase 4x4 protection instead.

Campervan

Please select this option if your vehicle has in-built sleeping berths and no in-built shower or toilet. If you’re planning on driving on unsealed roads in accordance with the permissions set out in your rental agreement, add 4x4 protection to your Campervan via your RentalCover Account.

Motorhome / RV

Please select this option if your vehicle has both in-built sleeping berths and an in-built shower and/or toilet. If you are planning on driving on unsealed roads in accordance with the permissions set out in your rental agreement, add 4x4 protection to your Motorhome/RV via your RentalCover Account.

Minibus

Please select this option if your vehicle has between nine and 14 seats, including the driver’s seat. 

 van Caravan 

Please select this option if your vehicle has no more than three seats at the front and no in-built sleeping berths, shower or toilet. We cover caravans that are not for commercial use and don’t need a special license to be driven. 
RentalCover does not have any particular requirements regarding your licence type. As long as your rental company in your pick-up location accepts your driver’s licence, your RentalCover Protection will be valid.

To check if your rental company has any requirements regarding the licence type, we encourage you to contact them directly.
You can purchase RentalCover Protection for different drivers under one RentalCover Account. However, a RentalCover Account can only be under one name and all purchases on that account will be reflected under this name.  

When purchasing RentalCover Protection for different drivers, ensure that you make the purchases under the correct names and download each protection certificate. If you accidentally purchased the protection using the same name, we can update the name on the certificate to reflect the correct driver at any time before your pick-up date. 

The RentalCover Account will only show one name at a time, but when making a claim, we will ask for the protection certificate to see the name of the actual driver on it.
When you purchase RentalCover Protection directly with us, RentalCover does not require the protection to be linked to your rental booking. You don’t need to share your rental booking details with us at the time of purchase, and we’ll only ask for your rental agreement when you make a claim.

Your RentalCover Protection certificate won’t include the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) as we only need to know the vehicle type of your rental. 

You can view and download your RentalCover Protection documents in your RentalCover Account.

Managing your protection

Refund amounts differ based on your RentalCover Protection, when the protection is scheduled to commence and your booking agent (if you booked through one of our partners). We recommend that you quickly follow these step-by-step instructions to cancel or modify your RentalCover Protection and, where applicable, obtain a refund.

When you first visit RentalCover you will need to activate your account. Simply find the RentalCover confirmation SMS or email in your inbox or spam and click the activation link. If you’re having issues, it may be because the email addresses of some Apple users aren’t shared with RentalCover. Instead, you can simply click on the link provided in the confirmation email you received when you purchased RentalCover Protection and update your email address. From your RentalCover Account, you can make a claim, make changes or view your wording.

You may also see an offer for a credit note that can be used on future bookings. Please read this article for more information on credit notes.
 

To cancel, extend or shorten your RentalCover Protection please follow the steps below. Please note that your protection can only be cancelled before your pickup date and you can only extend or shorten your RentalCover Protection dates once your pickup date has passed.

  1. Log in to your RentalCover Account.
  2. Select the protection you’d like to cancel or modify, and then go to ‘Options’ on the left-hand side. 
  3. If available, click ‘Extend/Reduce’ to modify your protection dates or ‘Cancel’ to cancel your protection. 

If you booked directly with one of our partners, you may be redirected to their site. We are unable to extend, shorten or cancel protection purchased directly with a partner. Please contact the partner directly if you have any questions about the modification, cancellation or refund process.

If you booked directly with RentalCover and you’re eligible for a refund, you may receive an email offering you the choice of a credit note (with bonus credit). If you opt for the credit note, this will be issued instantly. If you opt for a cash refund, please allow some time for it to show in your account.

Please see this helpful article for more information on RentalCover credit.

At RentalCover we provide rental protection and our partners are responsible for the rental cars. We work with a number of partners who sell our protection when you book rentals from their site.

If that sounds like you, and you are having difficulty at the rental desk, please contact your rental agency directly for support.

If you need to cancel or shorten or extend your RentalCover Protection you can do this online via the My Account page. 

Your RentalCover Protection can be used for any rental vehicle*, from any rental company*, subject to the terms of the rental agreement.

Gode nyheter. Du trenger ikke endre polisen din.

RentalCover.com-polisen din kan brukes på enhver leiebil*, fra alle utleieselskaper, underlagt vilkårene i leieavtalen. Hvis du har flere leieavtaler med forskjellige utleiefirmaer, trenger du en polise for hver.

Har du planer om å legge til ekstra førere og land til dekningen din? Finn ut mer her.

*Merk at det kan finnes noen kjøretøy som ikke er dekket av leiepoliser (så som eksotiske kjøretøy). Les gjennom polisen for å bekrefte at leiebiltypen din er dekket.

The named driver and all additional drivers included on your rental agreement are covered by RentalCover. There is no need to add any additional drivers to your protection; they are automatically covered free of charge. If your rental agreement clearly states that spouses are allowed to drive the rental vehicle, then they will be automatically covered with RentalCover. Please ensure that you are named on the rental agreement.

Thinking of visiting other countries on your trip? If you're renting outside of the US and your rental agreement permits it, you are permitted to travel to other countries after collecting a vehicle in the nominated pickup country. For US rentals, with the exception of New York residents, renters with Collision Damage Insurance and our Supplemental Liability Insurance (for US rentals) can visit Canada if the vehicle is collected in the US.

You do not need to inform RentalCover of additional drivers or countries you are visiting.

Want more information? Our Rental Guides explain how everything works.

Renting more than one vehicle at the same time? Each vehicle must have its own individual protection since your protection only covers a single vehicle at a time.

Hvis leieavtalen har startet og du innser at du har glemt å kjøpe forsikring, ikke vær redd, forsikring kan kjøpes inntil én time før du leier et kjøretøy. Bare legg inn et tilbud på hjemmesiden.

Så snart kjøpet ditt et fullført, så aktiveres forsikringen din. Finn ut mer om hvordan dekningsdager beregnes.

When you cancel your RentalCover Protection, depending on your country of residence, you may be offered a credit note with a bonus credit that may be used for future bookings. Here are some key things to know about RentalCover credit:

Billing Support & Claim Payouts

Hvis du finner en bedre pris på samme polise et annet sted vil vi gjerne slå den prisen. Bare send en e-post til salgsteamet vårt med detaljene i polisen du har funnet, inkludert pris og hvor du fant den, så vil vi svare deg med et tilbud.

Merk at vårt prisløfte ikke gjelder kunder som leier på Island.

Når du sammenligner polisene vennligst husk på alle de unike fordelene i en polise fra RentalCover.com

Unfortunately, transaction fees are everywhere when you travel internationally. In this article, we share tips for how you can avoid these fees.

One major cost that most travellers don’t plan for is potential charges from the rental company in the event of an accident or damage. Those fees can cost in excess of $3000 and credit card issuers typically charge 4-5% in additional fees for international travellers.

Before you travel, check the cost of using your credit or debit card overseas. To avoid costly card fees we recommend that you use prepaid travel cards
 

When you make a claim there are two factors that can explain the difference between the amount you paid for your damages and the final claim amount you receive.

1. Additional credit card fees: When you make a claim we will refund the charges you received from the rental company, but we do not refund any additional international transaction fees you might incur.

2. International money transfers: Our payment technology allows your claim to be paid into any bank in the world, with no additional fees. While we waive the fees that banks charge for sending payments and wherever we can we waive the fees charged by your bank for receiving payment, (these normally both cost between 10-20 USD per transaction), we take these fees into account when calculating the exchange rates that you see at the time of payment.

Hvis du ser et trekk fra RentalCover.com på kredittkortutskriften din som du ikke gjenkjenner, er den sannsynligvis fordi du la til leieforsikring gjennom en av dine godkjente partnere. Den har nå blitt trukket separat fra leien din. Vår liste over partnere inkluderer Rentalcars.com, Booking.com og mange fler.

Du kan avbryte eller modifisere forsikringen din direkte ved å logge på din RentalCover.com konto

Har du kansellert dekningen din, men ikke fått penger tilbake på kontoen din? Dette kan skyldes ett av følgende scenarier:

1. Tilbakebetalingen er under behandling
Etter at du har kansellert dekningen din, vil en tilbakebetaling utstedes automatisk.{% if booking.agent.Name == 'rentcars' or booking.agent.Name == 'carrental8' or booking.agent.Name == 'goboony' or booking.agent.Name == 'camptoo' %} Det kan ta opp til 25 arbeidsdager før pengene kommer inn på kontoen.{%else%} Det kan ta opp til 3 - 10 arbeidsdager før pengene kommer inn på kontoen.{% endif %}{% if booking.agent.Name == 'rentcars' or booking.agent.Name == 'carrental8' or booking.agent.Name == 'goboony' or booking.agent.Name == 'camptoo' %} Hvis du ikke har fått penger etter 25 arbeidsdager må du kontakte banken din for mer informasjon.{%else%} Hvis du ikke har fått penger etter 10 arbeidsdager må du kontakte banken din for mer informasjon.{% endif %}

2. Betalingen din ble aldri gjennomført (tilbakebetaling er dermed ikke nødvendig)
Hvis du kansellerte polisen din kort tid etter at du kjøpte den, vil en reverseringsprosess bli utløst.
Transaksjonene din vil vises som ventende på kortutskriften din, og pengene vil være midlertidig blokkert, men betalingen vil ikkeforlate kontoen din. Denne ventende transaksjonen vil forsvinne fra utskriften din innen 3 til 5 arbeidsdager, og du vil ikke bli belastet av RentalCover.com.

Hvis transaksjonen fortsatt venter etter 5 arbeidsdager må du kontakte banken din for mer informasjon.

Det er ikke mulig å oppdatere betalingsmåte eller valuta etter at polisen din er kjøpt.

Noen ganger hører vi om leieselskaper som belaster kunder for skader som ikke har skjedd, og øker eller feilberegner den endelige prisen. Hvis dette har skjedd med deg må du fremsette en klage kredittkortleverandøren din for denne uautoriserte transaksjonen.

For å spare tid på å fremsette klagen din kan du følge instruksjonene nedenfor:

1. Last ned vårt malbrev PDF-ikon og fyll inn opplysningene dine

2. Kontakt kredittkortleverandøren din og bruk brevet ditt for å fremsette en protest for den endelige transaksjonen du ble belastet av leieselskapet. Det er best å ikke be om en refundering, ettersom banken kan nekte deg å kontakte leieselskapet direkte for å bestride transaksjonen. Vi anbefaler deg istedet å påstå at “trekket var uautorisert” etter du ikke gjenkjenner skaden

Hva skjer etterpå? Du kan forvente å få svar innen 1-2 uker, og for at omkostningene kommer til å bli tilbakeført innen 3-4 uker. Våre kunder har 95 % suksessrate med disse kravene, uansett, hvis kravet ikke blir godkjent eller hvis du har noen egenandelomkostninger som gjenstår etter at klagen er avgjort, kan du bare videresende all korrespondanse til oss her og vi kommer til å godta erstatningskravet ditt med en gang.

RentalCover.com er stolte over å kunne tilby en rekke rabatter, inkludert:
 Militærrabatt

Personer i militæret får 30 % rabatt når de booker leiebilforsikring for både ferie- og forretningsreiser (dette er ikke tilgjengelig for personer som bor i USA). For å motta din rabattkode må du sende oss et bilde av ditt militære tjenestebevis eller sende oss en e-post fra din arbeidsplass og inkludere “militærtjeneste” i emnelinjen.

 Honnørrabatt

Australske pensjonister får 30 % rabatt. For å motta din rabattkode må du sende oss et bilde av ditt honnørkort.

 Studentrabatt

Vi er glade for å kunne støtte studenter med vår 30 % rabatt på deres neste kjøp av forsikring på leiebil. For å motta rabattkoden din sender du oss bare et bilde av ditt student-ID-kort fra et .edu-domene.

Vi har alltid som mål å være best på forsikringstilbud: Vi kan imidlertid ikke gi prisløfte i følgende tilfeller:

- Tilbud fra CarInsuRent (vi har store bekymringer om denne bedriftens evne til å selge forsikringsprodukter). 
- Poliser der Island er destinasjonsland
- Tilbud som gir et lavere nivå av dekning enn det som tilbyd av RentalCover.com
- Kollisjonsskadeforsikring (CDI) for personer som bor i USA. 
- Poliser kjøpt fra våre godkjente partnernettsteder ( våre partnere kontrollerer sin egen bil og forsirkingspakke og prissetting).
- Når tilbudsopplysninger er feil og ikke matcher din reise (hvis du for eksempel bor i Australia og reiser til Japan, må din forespørsel om prisløfte matche denne informasjonen)
Når du sammenligner poliser må du huske alle fordelene med en polise fra RentalCover.com

Bilutleiefirma vil vanligvis kreve at du betaler et sikkerhetsdepositum ved henting, som et sikkerhetstiltak i tilfelle du skader bilen.

Depositumsbeløp er vanligvis mellom £/$/€500 til £/$/€900 men kan gå opp til £/$/€1200 avhengig av destinasjon og kjøretøystype. Kontroller at kredittkortgrensen din lar deg betale depositumet pluss andre kostnader som du har planlagt for turen.

Du trenger vanligvis et kredittkort for dette, og leieselskapet vil enten trekke fra eller legge beslag på disse pengene. Hvis det ikke er noen skade på bilen, vil pengene bli utstedt etter levering.  Merk at det kan ta noen få dager før pengene er tilbake på kontoen din.

Hvis bilen er skadet kan leieselskapet trekke fra sikkerhetsdepositumet og andre beløp fra kortet ditt.

  1. Kontroller at du har riktige opplysninger og prøv på nytt.
     
  2. Utfør betalingen ved bruk av et annet kort når det er mulig.
     
  3. Hvis problemet vedvarer kan du kontakte banken din for mer informasjon.

 

RentalCover does not require you to use the same card as your protection purchase when making a rental booking, or when you need to pay for damages or repair costs. You can also use a card that’s under a different name.

Even though RentalCover does not have any restrictions on which credit card you can use when purchasing protection, your rental company might. Please check with your rental company by contacting them directly.

If you cancel your protection via your RentalCover Account, depending on your country we offer you the option to either receive a credit note or a cash refund. Credit notes are processed immediately and added to your RentalCover Account. If eligible, you can choose to receive a credit note, otherwise, the refund will typically show in your card statement within 3-7 days, although it may take some of our agents longer. If it’s taking longer please contact your bank or your booking agent.

You can log in to your RentalCover Account to manage your RentalCover protection and view your invoices and certificates at any time. 

Rental companies charge a deposit (or put an amount on hold), to make sure you can pay for damages in case of an accident. 

If you return the vehicle with no damages, the rental company must refund you the deposit. If you return the vehicle with damages, the rental company will charge you, and offer you an invoice. You can then make a claim with us to ask for reimbursement of the damage cost.

Rental companies do not share any information with us regarding deposits made with them. If you have any questions about the refund of your deposit, we encourage you to contact the rental company directly.
