RentalCover Protection is subject to additional terms, conditions, and exclusions. What you're not covered for can differ depending on your protection type, vehicle type and more. Make sure you check your policy wording in your RentalCover Account for more details. 

Typically, you may not be covered for:

✗ Liability: please read the Rental Guide to better understand how this works in your travel country. 
✗ Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) for drivers: this is usually covered by your travel insurance.
