INSURANCE

The insurance contracted by the hire company covers damage , depending on the extent of the insurance cover taken out. In the event of negligent driving, the insurance cover is automatically invalidated, and the customer becomes liable for all damage.
Included in the insurance cover is loss, theft, or damage to the vehicle up to a value of Euros 3 000 , of which the customer shall pay up to Euros 800.

OBLIGATORY INSURANCE:

This insurance covers the driver for civil liabilities to third parties but not personal injury to the driver himself nor damage to the car . Obligatory Insurance does not cover damage to the vehicle insured nor injury to the driver, but it does cover passengers as they count as “third parties”. This is so determined by Spanish Legislation.

In the event that the vehicle were stolen and caused an accident, personal injury and material damage caused as a result would be paid for by the Insurance Companies Compensation Organisation, which in its turn could sue the individual, when finally identified by due legal process, to pay for this damage.

COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE:

Comprehensive insurance covers not only damage to third parties (obligatory) but also damage to the car caused by the driver (but only damage to the vehicle). This insurance does not cover:

  • Theft of the car with the keys left inside.
  • Personal objects inside the vehicle.
  • Damage to the wheels, tyres or underside of the vehicle.
  • Refuelling with the incorrect fuel.
  • The insurance does not cover accidents due to negligent or dangerous driving nor whilst driving under the effects of alcohol or drugs.
  • Taking the car off the Island of Tenerife.
  • The installation of accessories (child seats and baby seats) must be done by the person who hires the vehicle. The reason for this is that it is a condition imposed by our insurance company; in the event of any incident arising as a result of the incorrect installation of accessories, the company does not accept liability for consequent damage.
