What Car Hire Insurance Do I Need? Your Complete Guide

Hello, fellow adventurers! Planning your epic journey with GeoDrive Car Hire in Cyprus? Fantastic choice! Now, let's dive into a topic that's crucial for your peace of mind on the road—car hire insurance. 🚗💨

At GeoDrive, we understand that insurance can be a bit confusing, but worry not! We're here to provide you with a comprehensive guide to help you make the right choice. So, let's break down the three insurance options we offer, each offering varying levels of protection:

1. STANDARD (CDW) Collision Damage Waiver:

  • Advantages: Included in the daily rental price, CDW reduces your liability for damage to the rented vehicle in case of an accident.

  • Disadvantages: The excess amounts can vary according to the car group and the insurance taken. Here are the excess amounts for different car groups:

    • Groups A, A1, B, B1: €650

    • Groups C, C1, D, D1: €750

    • Groups G, G1, XE1: €950

    • Groups E, E1, V, V1: €1,350

2. SUPER (SCDW) Super Collision Damage Waiver:

  • Advantages: Purchased at the time of rental, SCDW reduces your liability and excess on the deductible excess amount applied to CDW by 50%.

  • Disadvantages: While it significantly reduces your excess, there's still an excess amount that varies by car group.

3. FULL (FCDW) Full Collision Damage Waiver:

  • Advantages: Also purchased at the time of rental, FCDW reduces your liability and excess on the deductible excess amount applied to CDW by a whopping 100%. That means zero excess!

  • Disadvantages: While it provides comprehensive coverage, some exclusions apply, such as damage to windows, windscreen, mirrors, personal belongings, headlights, interior, wheels, tires, roof, undercarriage, engine, clutch, car’s interior, lost keys, towing charges, flat battery, and loss of use.

Additional Cover: Windscreen & Tyres (WT):

  • Advantages: This coverage reduces your liability for damage to the car's windscreen and tires to €0, subject to a daily charge based on the car group.

  • Disadvantages: The daily charge varies depending on the car group:

    • Groups A, A1, B, B1: €3 per day

    • Groups C, C1, D, D1: €4 per day

    • Groups G, G1, XE1: €5 per day

    • Groups E, E1, V, V1: €7 per day

Now, let's talk about deposits. At vehicle pick-up, GeoDrive Car Hire will preauthorize an amount from your credit card as a deposit for guarantee. The deposit amounts vary according to the car group and the insurance taken:

  • Groups A, A1, B, B1:

    • Standard (CDW) Insurance: €520

    • Super (SCDW) Insurance: €260

    • Full (FCDW) Insurance: €150

  • Groups C, C1, D, D1:

    • Standard (CDW) Insurance: €600

    • Super (SCDW) Insurance: €300

    • Full (FCDW) Insurance: €150

  • Groups G, G1, XE1:

    • Super (SCDW) Insurance: €380

    • Full (FCDW) Insurance: €150
