Civil Liability Insurance is mandatory for rental cars. The cost of the insurance is included in the cost of the rental. Civil Liability covers you in the case of injury of a third person ordamage caused with the rental car. It does not cover the rental car itself and usually there is a limit to the amount that can be covered by Civil Liability Insurance.
It may be the case (but not necessarily) for the rental price to include
CDW Collision Damage Waiver and Theft Protection:
- Collision Damage Waiver (CDW- Collision Damage Waiver) gives the renter the possibility to reduce his financial liability (excess) for possible damages to the rental vehicle as a result of a collision.
If the renter accepts this coverage, he/she will only be responsible for the amount of liability (excess) agreed upon in the rental contract, provided that the Highway Code has not been violated. - Theft Protection , allows the renter to reduce his financial liability in case of total theft of the rental vehicle.
The Rental Providers offer additional optional insurance packages such as:
- Full Damage Waiver (FDW- Full Damage Waiver), by which the renter can minimize his financial responsibility in case of damage from little to none.
- Personal Coverage, which covers the driver and passengers up to a certain amount, for body injuries or even loss of life as a result of a car accident.
Please note that the above insurances do not include damages caused to the undercarriage, tires and wheels, glass-parts, interior of the car as well as all damages that are not causedby a general accident, caused by misuse of the car e.g. driving on an unsuitable road, towing another vehicle, transporting explosives, participating in speed races, etc.as well as other cases such as loss of keys, damage to additional equipment (eg GPS, child seats, etc.), theft of personal items in the car, etc.
Read more about the insurance packages as well as the corresponding liability amounts (excess), click on "View Rental Conditions" of the vehicle to check the relative Terms and Conditions by the Provider.
The amount of liability (excess) is the amount that the renter will have to pay for the repair, if the body of the vehicle is damaged. The amount of liability (excess) is predefined in the rental contract.
For example:
- If the renter did not agree on additional coverage, he/she is responsible for the costs for the repair as well as any costs that arise due to the related accident (eg towing the car, lost profits, etc.).
- If the renter selected the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) at the time of booking, then he/she will be charged with an amount that will not exceed the agreed amount of liability (excess).
- If the renter selected the Full Collision Damage Waiver, no amount will be charged for the damage caused, unless stated otherwise in the rental agreement.
Please note that the above insurances do not include damages caused to the undercarriage, tires and wheels, glass-parts, interior of the car as well as all damages that are not causedby a general accident, caused by misuse of the car e.g. driving on an unsuitable road, towing another vehicle, transporting explosives, participating in speed races, etc.as well as other cases such as loss of keys, damage to additional equipment (eg GPS, child seats, etc.), theft of personal items in the car, etc.

The excess amount is charged / withheld on the main driver's credit card upon collection of the vehicle and refunded/released when the car is returned and inspected.
