If you are hiring a car with Avis, we can offer you affordable car hire excess insurance to cover you against the excess charges you may incur from the rental company if your hire car is damaged or stolen.
How does Avis Car Hire Insurance work? https://www.icarhireinsurance.com/avis-excess-reduction
When you hire a car with Avis in Europe*, insurance cover is usually automatically included for Third Party, Collision Damage (CDW) and Vehicle Theft. This is known as your basic cover. The third-party element of the basic cover does not carry any excess; however, a customer excess is usually applied to both the collision and theft cover.
Additional cover such as Roadside Assistance covering excess reduction is included as an extra if you opt for the Vehicle Cover Plus package. If hiring in the UK, Glass and Windscreen protection is not included in any cover package, however, it can be added once the vehicle is collected
* This statement assumes you are a UK resident, hiring a car in Europe. The basic cover may be different if you are hiring a car outside the UK, or you are resident of a country other than the UK.
How much does Avis Car Insurance cost?
The price you pay for your hire car is based on the following:
- The start and end dates of your rental period
- The rental location
- The type of vehicle you are renting
The cost of your car hire insurance is included as basic cover. The cost of optional extras including excess reduction products (CDW and LDW) are also based on the above factors.
What are the Avis Excess Reduction charges?
Avis Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) is included within the basic cover. If you damage your hire car, the amount that you will have to pay is reduced to the agreed excess amount found on your rental agreement. This amount depends on which vehicle you are hiring and where you are hiring it. However, Avis provides excess reduction products which can reduce your excess further:
- Super Collision Damage Waiver is an excess reduction product which reduces your excess to zero if you damage your hire car. The price for this depends on the vehicle and the location. You can expect this to cost between £12.94 and £25.00 per day if hiring in the UK.
- Super Theft Protection Waiver is another excess reduction product available to reduce your excess, in the case your hire car is stolen, however this will cost you between £3.45 and £5.50 per day if hiring in the UK.
