At Payless Car, we not only offer you quality and reliable rental vehicles, but also insurance to protect you in case of unexpected situations. Thanks to our partnership with DEFEND Insurance, a leader in specialist insurance, we can ensure you are assured of maximum security every time you drive.
Many clients underestimate the risks associated with renting a car. But even if you drive carefully, damages can happen:
Although these damages are covered by the basic car breakdown insurance included in the contract, they come with a deductible that the client must pay. And it can be hundreds of euros !
That is why we recommend an extended insurance that will relieve you of these expenses.
Rental car insurance through DEFEND Insurance covers a wide range of risks. The main benefits include:
✅ Reduce or eliminate your deductible altogether
No more high out-of-pocket co-payments when your vehicle is damaged.
✅ Cover for minor and major damage
Even a small scratch on the paintwork can be expensive - insurance will cover it.
✅ Protection against theft or burglary
Even if your car is stolen, you are not financially at risk.
✅ Windscreen, tyre and chassis insurance
A bad stretch of road, a flying stone or a distracted driver won't do you in.
✅ Assistance and comfort
In the event of an accident or damage, we will help you deal with the situation quickly and without unnecessary complications.

The price of insurance can vary depending on a number of factors. In particular, the type of car is taken into account - different conditions apply for economy models and others for premium cars. The length of the lease and the insurance package you choose - from basic cover to no excess - also play an important role.

Nobody wants to deal with damage to their vehicle while on holiday or on a business trip. With our insurance, you not only get financial protection, but also the reassurance that everything will be taken care of. It's worth it - after all, sometimes all it takes is one scratch and you'll pay more than the entire insurance policy.
