There's always a protection to fit your needs

What are the new Europcar Protection packages?

We offer three different packages: Basic Protection (included in the rentals except for US customers), Medium Protection and Premium Protection each with different levels of protection and reduction of excess amounts.

What does each package contain?

Basic Protection

Basic protection is, in most cases, included in the quoted rental price.

It limits your financial liability in case of damage of the vehicle caused by collision, theft or attempted theft.

The excess amount for Basic Protection varies depending on the vehicle category chosen and the country in which the rental is/will be taking place.

NOTE: Basic protection is mandatory for your rental. You must either be covered by your payment card (for USA and Canadian residents) or purchase Basic protection separately.

Protection Plus

Protection Plus Package waives your financial liability (zero excess) in case of damage to the vehicle, windscreen, headlights and/or tires as a result of collision. Damages caused by acts of vandalism are excluded.

Protection Plus Package also limits your financial liability in case of theft or attempted theft. The theft excess amount for Protection Plus varies depending on the vehicle category chosen.
