Car rental insurance in Argentina

We could not find a policy for this destination and residence combination
So you’re renting a car in Argentina. Of course, no one wants to think about rental car insurance when taking in Buenos Aires, but buying rental car insurance before you go could save you thousands in repair costs. We’ve built a global business around saving customers 50% versus equivalent coverage at the rental desk †. We aim to pay 95% of claims within 7 business days, so you can save your ARS for extra barbecued meat.

At the rental desk...

Insurance offered & what you need to know
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW)/Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)

  • CDW does not cover expensive accident-related fees such as administration, towing and loss of use fees. 
Super Collision Damage Waiver (SCDW)
Super Collision Damage Waiver reduces your remaining excess towards US$0.00.
  • Can be purchased for ARS17,045.11 - ARS25,567.66 per day.

These are our top tips to save money and hassle on your rental.

Pre-pay and save

RentalCover.com is sold by the largest online travel agencies globally and you can buy directly on RentalCover.com, saving you 50% compared to the rental companies.

Take photos before and after

Take photos & videos of the vehicle at both pickup and dropoff. We’ll ask you during the claim to provide these and to provide details of any unfair charges from your rental company. Take the time to capture any pre-existing damage and nominate those in your rental agreement to avoid excessive charges.

Just say 'no'
Policy refused

Insurance in Latin America can be less regulated than you’re used to. Some rental car companies may insist that you purchase coverage from them. If your rental company does not accept our policy, let us know and we will issue you with a full refund.

With Full Protection...
  1. Notify your rental car company of the damage immediately. They will advise next steps. If the costs are likely to exceed $3,000, please notify us via our claim form before paying any money to the rental company. Make sure you check your policy wording.

  2. When your rental is finished, submit your claim at rentalcover.com/claim. You will need these documents.

  3. We pay 98% of claims within 3 business days, but do keep in mind that settlement times may differ.

  4. If your rental company provides you with a new vehicle, your RentalCover.com policy will also cover the new vehicle for the duration of your policy provided it’s a like-for-like exchange. You do not need to notify us of the vehicle change.
