Travelling by car should be comfortable, flexible and stress-free.

At AVIS Maxirent, we not only offer you quality and reliable vehicles for hire, but also insurance to protect you in the event of unexpected situations. Thanks to our partnership with DEFEND Insurance, a leader in specialist insurance, we can ensure you are assured of maximum security every time you drive.

Why choose rental car insurance ?

Many clients underestimate the risks associated with renting a car. But even if you drive carefully, damage can happen:
- An accident caused by another driver
- Parking damage (dents, scratches)
- Broken windscreen or damaged wheels
- Vandalism or theft
- Natural elements (hail, fallen branch, flood)

Although these damages are covered by the basic car breakdown insurance included in the contract, they come with a deductible that the client has to pay. And this can be hundreds of euros!

That's why we recommend an extended insurance policy that will relieve you of these expenses.

What does our insurance cover ?

Rental car insurance through DEFEND Insurance covers a wide range of risks. The main benefits include:

✅ Reduction or complete elimination of the deductible
No more high out-of-pocket surcharges when the vehicle is damaged.

✅ Coverage for both minor and major damage
Even a small scratch on the paintwork can be expensive - insurance will cover it.

✅ Protection against theft or burglary
Even if your car is stolen, you are not financially at risk.

✅ Glass, tyre and undercarriage insurance
A bad stretch of road, a flying stone or a distracted driver will no longer be your undoing.

✅ Assistance and comfort
In the event of an accident or damage, we'll help you deal with the situation quickly and without unnecessary complications.

The types of insurance we offer:

1. Standard breakdown insurance (included in the rental price)
- Damage cover, but with a high deductible (e.g. €800 - €1,500)
- Excludes selected parts of the vehicle (e.g. windows, wheels, interior)

2. Extended DEFEND insurance (recommended)
- Reduced or zero deductible (depending on the package)
- Coverage for windows, wheels, roof, interior, chassis
- Theft and vandalism protection
- Validity within the EU (if you travel with the vehicle)

How to arrange insurance ?

✅ Simply by booking your vehicle online or at a branch
✅ Choose the type of insurance that suits you best
✅ The cost of the insurance will be added to your rental
✅ Everything is transparent and stated in the contract

How much does the insurance cost ?

The price of insurance can vary depending on a number of factors. In particular, the type of car is taken into account - different conditions apply for economy models and different for premium cars. The length of the rental period and the insurance package you choose - from basic cover to no excess - also play an important role.

👉 For an exact quote, we recommend you contact us or check the price packages directly when booking your car. You will see everything clearly and without hidden fees.

Protect yourself and your wallet

No one wants to deal with damage to their vehicle while on holiday or on a business trip. With our insurance, you not only get financial protection, but also the reassurance that everything will be taken care of. It's worth it - after all, sometimes all it takes is one scratch and you'll pay more than the entire insurance policy.
