What is included in the BASIC, PREMIUM and COMFORT packages?
The BASIC package is included by default in all car rentals and covers the driver’s liability towards third parties (e.g., in case of an accident). However, it does not cover damage to the rented vehicle or personal injuries to the driver.
The PREMIUM package protects against repair costs for damage (except interior damage, negligence and willful misconduct)
The COMFORT package does not provide extended coverage, but does reduce the deposit and includes additional services.
Please note! Insurance coverage in case of an accident applies only if a completed "Parte de Accidente" (or a police report) is provided. If you have an official accident report, the damage will be covered by the insurance. Submit the incident documents to SOLO within 24 hours to avoid losing coverage: support@sologroup.net.
If you sustain damage without third-party involvement (e.g., hitting a pole) and you haven't officially documented it, such cases are not covered by insurance.
The deposit amount depends on the vehicle category (which can be checked when booking on the website). You can find the deposit conditions in the General Rental Terms and Conditions (paragraph 19), in the T&C document, and in the booking voucher. More flexible payment options are also available when using Concierge Service. However, we reserve the right to refuse service if a credit card is not present.

The deposit is held for the rental period and refunded after the vehicle inspection upon return, provided no violations are found.
What do I do if I already have insurance from a different company?
If you have third-party insurance (e.g. through a credit card provider, insurance broker, or booking platform), please note that such coverage is not connected to SOLO rent a car.
Therefore, you are still required to provide the full deposit, equivalent to the applicable deductible (franchise) stated in your rental plan.
In the event of damage during the rental period, the repair cost will be deducted from your deposit. You can then contact your insurance provider to request reimbursement, based on the terms of your policy.
What is CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and how does it work in the BASIC, COMFORT and PREMIUM packages?
CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) limits the driver's liability with a deductible – the maximum amount the company can withhold from the deposit in case of damage to the rental vehicle.

CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) – provides partial coverage for collision damages and liability towards third parties (but not for damages to the renter’s vehicle).
TP (Theft Protection) – covers theft, with liability limited to the deductible. If the car is stolen, the maximum amount that can be withheld corresponds to the deductible.
What is TP (coverage in the event of theft)?
TP (Theft Protection) reduces the renter’s financial liability to the deductible in case of vehicle theft, provided no negligence is involved (e.g., leaving the key inside the car).
Important! In case of theft or damage resulting from an attempted theft, you must file a police report within 24 hours and provide supporting documentation.
What is a deductible and when is it withheld?
Franchise / Excess / Deductible / Pre-Authorization is the amount the renter is responsible for in case of damage or theft of the vehicle. This is the maximum amount that can be withheld from the deposit in the event of an insurance claim. The deductible depends on the group of the car and its amount can be found out at the time of booking.
Negligence, malicious actions, and violations of rental conditions are not covered by any insurance package.
Which payment cards are accepted?
A credit card (Visa/Mastercard) under the main driver’s name is required for the deposit.
