Third Party Liability insurance is mandatory by law and included with all rental rates. Liability insurance covers per accident, personal injury or death and property damage up to a certain figure established by our insurers. Third Party insurance cover amounts are adjusted each year from the 1st of January. The liability insurance does not cover injury to the driver of the rental vehicle but third parties, passengers, are covered. It also does not cover the renter’s property or cover damages to a connected vehicle on the rental like a caravan or trailer.
