QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

If you rent a vehicle in Switzerland or abroad, the rental vehicle contract often already includes rental vehicle insurance. This means you are covered for all types of damage. But for most of these insurances, you will have to pay a high deductible. This is where we help with our deductible insurance for rental cars and other rented vehicles such as bikes, boats or motorhomes.

If your rental vehicle – whether it’s a rental car or rental boat – is damaged or stolen during your rental, the rental car insurance of the rental company will usually pay. However, these insurances often have a high deductible that you have to pay. With the module “Payment of the deductible for rental vehicles”, you needn’t worry about the deductible – we will pay it for you.

You take out rental vehicle insurance directly with the car rental company. We don’t want you having to pay high deductible costs. So we offer you the supplementary “Payment of the deductible for rental vehicles” module as part of our travel insurance. To take out this supplementary insurance, you must select at least one basic module first. You can take out the insurance online or through one of our advisors.

We do not cover the deductible for liability claims or for vehicles from sharing agencies in Switzerland.
