Rental car with fully comprehensive insurance and refund of the excess
No matter how carefully you drive, a scratch or dent on your rental car can happen quickly. But there’s no need to worry: at Sunny Cars, fully comprehensive insurance including a refund of the excess is always part of the rental price. This means that if damage occurs, you won’t be left with the costs.
What does the fully comprehensive insurance cover?
Scratches, dents or paint damage often happen faster than you think – and accidents can also occur. That’s why fully comprehensive insurance is automatically included in our all-round carefree package. It covers all damages, which can otherwise become very expensive. With Sunny Cars, you are always fully protected and can enjoy your holiday without stress.
How is the insurance excess regulated at Sunny Cars?
Sunny Cars works with various global and local rental partners. Depending on the provider and the vehicle category, an excess may be charged on-site. In most cases, the excess corresponds to the deposit for the rental car.
Information on the amount of the excess
The exact amount of the excess is shown in our rental terms and conditions. There you can see what maximum amount may be retained in the event of damage. We recommend reading these conditions carefully so you know exactly what to expect.
Rental cars without excess
If you prefer to travel without any excess at all, we recommend our “no deposit” service. With this option, no excess applies – and you don’t need a credit card when picking up the rental car. This service is available only in selected countries and stations and must be booked no later than 5 days before the start of the rental. You can find more details about our “no deposit” service here.
Why is a deposit necessary if the excess will be refunded?
When picking up a rental car, it is standard practice to leave a deposit. This serves as security for the local rental partner and allows you to take the vehicle.
The excess, on the other hand, is the amount you may have to pay yourself in case of damage. In many cases, the deposit and the excess are identical and represent the same amount. After the rental period ends, the deposit/excess is refunded to you, or the blocked/charged amount on your credit card is released again.
This process ensures smooth handling and provides security for both you and the local rental partner.
How do I get the excess back?
If you had to pay the excess on-site, you can easily claim it back after your rental. Simply use the online form or the link provided in your voucher. Once we have checked the documents, Sunny Cars will reimburse you for the full amount as quickly as possible.
In short: With Sunny Cars you don’t have to worry about the excess. Even if damage occurs, you can enjoy your holiday carefree – we’ll take care of the rest when you return home.
