What's not covered?

We often get asked if we protect the following rentals. When you purchase a plan with us you may see options for the vehicle types below. If you don’t see them, unfortunately, they aren’t available for your location.



You can select a Vehicle Type on the homepage.



If you have a quote or booking, you can add vehicle types, if available, within your RentalCover Account.



If you have a quote or booking you can add vehicle types, if available, on the RentalCover.com Payment page.

If you purchased our insurance through one of our partners (some of whom specialize in campervans, motorhomes, RVs and off-road 4x4s), their automated systems will ensure you have the right protection for your rental. You can check your coverages and, if available, upgrade to include these vehicle types at any time. Just log in to your RentalCover Account or get a quote.

Your rental needs to be booked with an authorized rental company, car dealership, accident replacement service or loan cars from an authorized mechanic. Depending on your country, RentalCover Protection is available for the following when you get a quote on RentalCover.com. The meaning of each may differ based on your country. To view your wording, click the link in your RentalCover Account or on the quote page.

✓ Cars: “Cars” are the default coverage on RentalCover.com. 
✓ Recreational vehicles (RVs), motorhomes and camper/campervans.
✓ Off-road 4x4s for use on unsealed roads. You do not need to select this if you intend to drive any type of 4x4 on normal sealed roads. If you choose “Off-road 4x4” you must have rented a 4x4.
✓ Campers are covered in selected countries.
