IS THERE ANY WAY TO WAIVE THE DEDUCTIBLE?

By purchasing our Gold insurance package it is possible to waive the deductible to zero (0) in the event of an accident or damages as long as these are not considered a negligent act of driving. See the FAQ “What is the excess and how much will I have to leave” to better understand that even with the purchase of the Gold insurance package, it will still be necessary to make a minimum excess deposit in the amount of € 300.

HOW MUCH IS THE DEDUCTIBLE?

Deductible values will depend on the type of vehicle you rent.
Minimum hold (**) from €845 and up (depending on rented car group)
amount due from the customer (*) from €845and up (depending on the rented car
group)

(**) value of hold on your credit card at the time of the rental period
(*) the maximum amount charged in case of vehicle damage, except in cases of
negligence.

SEE OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS PAGE

WHAT IS A DEDUCTIBLE AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

The deductible is the maximum value (*), that the client can pay in case of damages to the vehicle.
By signing the rental agreement, the totality of the deductible value (**) will be blocked on the credit card. If upon the return of the vehicle no new damages occur, the deductible amount is unblocked. In the case where the vehicle is returned with new damages, Wayzor will charge the value of the damages, as per the invoice of the appointed repair workshop, which may reach the maximum of the deductible (except in cases of negligence were any extra insurance acquired will be void and the client must pay the full cost of the repair).

(**) Minimum hold from €845 and up (depends on reserved group)
(*) Amount of customer deductible from €845 and up (depends on reserved group)

CAN I USE A DEBIT CARD TO LOCK THE DEDUCTIBLE?

NO. At the moment, it isn’t possible to perform a deductible on a debit card.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I ALREADY BOUGHT AN EXTRA NSURANCE COVERAGE THROUGH ANOTHER COMPANY?

In this case, it is important to consider that this coverage is not the responsibility of Wayzor. As such, the amount of the deductible must still be blocked, on the driver’s credit card, or you can choose to acquire our additional insurance packages.

If the vehicle suffers any damage, during the rental period, you will have to pay the total amount of the damages to Wayzor and claim a refund with the company where you purchased the extra coverage.

HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHAT TYPE OF FUEL MY RENTED VEHICLE REQUIRES?

In the vehicle check-out report, you can find the type of fuel it consumes. In addition, all vehicles in the Wayzor fleet are labeled on the fuel cap with the respective type to be inserted.

If you insert the wrong fuel type in the vehicle, please do not start it and contact our roadside assistance department immediately. Please note that this is considered an act of negligence and cancels any type of coverage you have purchased (even the Gold insurance). If the roadside assistance team must go to the location to provide assistance dislocation fees will be charged.

HOW IS THE MISSING FUEL CALCULATED?

The calculation will depend on several factors: the market price of the fuel, the vehicle model delivered, the capacity of the tank, and the type of fuel recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.

A refueling service fee of € 15.00 applies to the missing fuel.

MISSING FUEL COST = missing fuel + € 15.00 tax.

WHAT IS THE VALUE OF ADDITIONAL COVERAGE?

The value of additional coverage depends on the car group of the rented vehicles.                                                                                                                  For more information, consult our price sheet for additional coverage.
