Basic insurance included in the car rental price consists of CDW “Coverage in the event of an accident” and TP “Coverage in the event of theft”. 

CDW insurance coverage or “coverage in the event of an accident” limits the driver’s liability to a franchise – a maximum sum that can be withheld from the deposit if the vehicle you rented received damage during your rental. The CDW insurance does not cover damages to the windshield, rear and side windows, tires, bottom of the vehicle, loss of keys, lock breakage, or towing. 

TР or “coverage in the event of theft” limits the driver’s liability to a franchise – a maximum sum that can be withheld from the deposit if the vehicle gets stolen or received damage in a theft attempt during your rental. 

Franchise is a maximum sum limited by the size of the deposit, which we withhold from your deposit if the vehicle gets damaged or stolen during your rental period. 

The franchise does not apply in case of purchase of PREMIUM and PREMIUM + insurance directly from SOLO rent a car. In addition, you will be insured against theft, damage to the body, paintwork, wheels, windows and mirrors.

When booking online, SOLO rent a car includes compulsory car insurance (CDW). In addition, during the booking process through the SOLO rent a car website, you can expand this when booking or receiving a vehicle. When ordering PREMIUM and PREMIUM + coverage, franchise is not applied (also with PREMIUM + the deposit amount is reduced by 50%). The cost of expanding coverage depends on the rental period and vehicle class.

ATTENTION! All types of insurance cover exclusively the aforementioned external damages and never cover internal damages to the vehicle.

If you have an insurance policy or additional insurance to a credit card or insurance agency (including aggregator websites or brokers) through which you made the reservation, it is important to remember that in all cases those are NOT a SOLO rent a car insurance. Therefore, you will have to make a full deposit amount with a franchise or purchase our additional insurance.
If during the rental period the car is damaged, you will pay it within the amount of the security deposit, and then you can claim compensation from the company from which you purchased the insurance policy.

Our staff will quickly instruct you and help you in case of a punctured tire, low battery, loss of keys, etc. In the event of a traffic accident, we will provide you with a replacement vehicle.
