Krav

Hvordan utleiefirmaene reagerer på kollisjoner hvor sjåføren har en uavhengig polise, som en fra RentalCover.com varierer mellom hvert utleiefirma. Dette er ikke en komplett liste, og det er unntak på en stat-for-stat basis. Hvis ditt utleiefirma er borte, send oss en e-post og vi vil finne ut av kravsprosessen:

Uheldigvis er det transaksjonskostnader overalt når man reiser internasjonalt. 

Når man betaler et erstatningskrav ved pengeoverføring, vil bankene belaste minst 15 USD (eller tilsvarende i din lokale valuta). Vi vil ikke belaste deg disse kostnadene, om vi må betale et gebyr til banken. Om banken skulle belaste deg med et gebyr, vil vi dessverre ikke kunne dekke kostnaden.

Det er flere hensyn å ta når man sammenligner valutakurser, og det er ulike måter for å beregne de. La oss se på et eksempel:

• Mark er fra Storbritannia. Han ble belastet 500 euro av utleiefirmaet for en ulykke i Frankrike. Hans erstatningskrav på 500 euro ble i dag godkjent av RentalCover.com.
• Mark vil få utbetaling i GBP.

Teamet for erstatningskrav hos RentalCover.com konverterer belastningsvalutaen (euro for Mark) til utbetalingsvalutaen (GBP for Mark) på bakgrunn av overføringskursene som er tilgjengelige på ulike plattformer for pengeoverføring. De er 3-5 % bedre enn kurser som tilbys av banker og 4-6% bedre enn hos vekslingsbyråer.

All claims must be submitted online - we recommend that you use a computer instead of a mobile phone for easier document uploading. Just enter your Reference Number (this ends with "INS" and can be found on your confirmation email).

After the protection is completed and the damage charge has been settled with the rental company, please submit your online claim and attach any supporting documents. You can click on the button below to get started.

In the event of a breakdown or an accident, it’s important to ensure everyone is safe. Where possible pull over, turn on your hazard lights and get everyone to safety. You can then:

1. Collect the other parties' details including their:

• Full name
• Address
• Licence number 
• Vehicle registration number 
• Phone number
• Name of their insurance 

2. Contact your rental company to report the incident. You can find their number on your signed rental agreement. They will instruct you on the processes such as vehicle recovery or replacement, roadside assistance and, depending on your country of travel, the charges that you may incur.

3. Contact the police to report the incident and gather evidence for your claim. Our Claims team may ask you to provide evidence such as written statements or police reports.

4. After following the rental company's instructions and your rental period is over and the final charges have been settled by the rental company, submit a claim with RentalCover.
 
When you complete your rental
Typically if you are travelling outside of the US, you will be charged an excess/deductible for the damages. It’s important to speak to the rental company to see if they intend to refund those charges if you are found to be “not at fault”. Check your wording in your RentalCover Account for more information on how we handle "not at fault" accidents.

Preferably the rental company can provide you with a document explaining the process and those rules. We will also seek this information during our investigation.

​After we’ve received all required documents and information our Claims team can begin processing your claim and preparing your refund when the claim is approved. Our aim is to process 95% of Collision Damage Insurance (CDI) claims within 5-10 business days. Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) claims can take longer.
