Understanding the Deductible (Excess)

The deductible is key to understanding your financial responsibility

What is a Deductible?

The deductible (or excess) is the maximum amount you'll pay in case of damage or theft. It's NOT a fee you pay regardless - you only pay if something happens.

Example:

• Deductible: €800
• Damage cost: €1,500
• You pay: €800 (insurance covers the rest)

Our optional insurance packages can reduce or eliminate the deductible entirely, giving you zero financial responsibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about car rental insurance in Tunisia

What is the 'deductible' (excess) in car rental?

The deductible (also called excess) is the maximum amount you're responsible for in case of damage or theft. For example, if your deductible is €800 and damage costs €1500, you only pay €800. Our supplementary insurance options aim to reduce or eliminate this amount.

Do I have to purchase additional insurance?

No, it's not mandatory. All our rentals include basic insurance with a deductible. However, we strongly recommend additional insurance (excess waiver) for total peace of mind and to minimize your financial responsibility in case of an incident.

What happens if damage costs less than the deductible?

If damage is estimated below the deductible amount, you only pay the actual repair cost. The deductible represents the ceiling of your liability, not a flat fee for every incident.

Does insurance cover tire and windshield damage?

Basic insurance (CDW) typically doesn't cover damage to tires, rims, windshields, undercarriage, or vehicle interior. Our 'Zero Risk' insurance options can extend coverage to these items. Please verify details of each option.

What documents do I need for insurance claims?

In case of an accident, you'll need: a completed accident report (provided with the car), photos of the damage, police report (for theft or third-party incidents), and your rental agreement. Our 24/7 support will guide you through the process.
