The excess is the amount that you, as the renter, pay yourself in the event of damage during your rental period. The amount varies per booking. It depends, among other things, on:
the value of the car
your age
Good to know: Your excess as a renter does not affect the owner's regular car insurance.
How does it work?
Example 1: You cause €2,000 in damage and your deductible is €750. → You pay €750, and the insurance covers the remaining €1,250.
Example 2: You cause €500 in damage and your deductible is €750. → You pay the full amount yourself. The insurance does not have to contribute anything.
The deductible is automatically debited from the bank account registered with SnappCar.
Important points
The deductible applies per claim.
Multiple claims during a single booking? Then the deductible may be charged multiple times.
In some cases, you can reduce the deductible. This is an optional service and is not available for every booking. If you want more information on this, click here.
