Car insurance

The car insurance packages at Rent From Locals are provided by the Owner. The owner is responsible that the car has the minimum insurance required by law, as well as to describe accurately the insurance package and options offered. Rent From Locals offers no insurance products on its own, however it aims to provide a frame for the proper description of the insurance included, as well as extra insurance options. In case the description provided by the owner is not clear, Rent From Locals suggests that the renter contact the owner directly via the messaging platform for further details.

The following concepts are included in the description.

Included insurance: Insurance already included in the price

This could be either of:

Basic insurance - Insurance required by law, it is always included. It cover the damage to the other car involved in the accident

Cover 80% collision - In addition to the other car involved, it covers 80% of the damage to the car you are renting, only in the case of collision. A police report is necessary

Cover 80% all events - In addition to the other car involved, it covers 80% of the damage to the car you are renting, regardless of the circumstances.

In addition the owner has the possibility to specify the excess corresponding to the included insurance, which describes the maximum responsibility in amount of EUR, that the renter can be held liable of.

Extra insurance:

Two options are offered to the owners to specify:

Reduced excess insurance: The owner can offer against a daily fee the reduction of the excess to a smaller responsibility. In this case they needs to provide the additional daily fee (Reduced excess - extra charge €/day) and the new reduced excess amount (Reduced excess - excess amount €), which is the maximum responsibility in amount of EUR, that the renter can be held liable of, after paying the extra daily charge.

Full insurance: The owner can offer against a daily fee the reduction of the excess to 0. In this case they only needs to provide the additional daily fee (Full insurance - extra charge €/day:)
