I want to know more about Full Coverage. What is covered and what is not?
WHAT IS FULL COVERAGE?
Full Coverage covers bodywork, glass, tyres and other excess you have to pay, if your rental vehicle has been damaged.
Full Coverage compensates the customer for the amount of the deductible/excess deducted by the car rental provider or charged by the insurance company in the event of damage or theft.
The supplier’s Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) may be included in your rental price. CDW limits your liability for the car to the excess – the amount of money the car rental company will charge you in the event that the rental car is damaged. Such items as windscreen, locks, tyres, undercarriage and key are not covered by the CDW. If you are held responsible to pay the excess, you pay it to the rental company.
Full Coverage does not replace a Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). EconomyBookings shall not assume any responsibility if a CDW is not included in the rental price and the customer failed to provide valid proof of his/her own CDW as required by the car rental provider and mentioned in the confirmation voucher.
If Full Coverage has been purchased along with the rental, it will cover all unexpected losses related to local car rental agreement.
