Car Hire Santander - the right insurance

When concluding the contract for the rental car via the price comparison, which you could rent here cheaply, you must also decide for an insurance. We always recommend the fully comprehensive insurance without excess, because then you will not incur any further costs in the event of damage. Even if this insurance seems a little more expensive when you take out it, it can become very important for you in the event of an accident.

Additional driver for the Rental Car in Santander

When concluding a rental contract on the Internet for a car from a local car rental company, reference is always made to the additional driver clause. If it is already known before the start of the trip that several passengers have a valid driving licence, then at least one additional driver should be specified. If this is not done, only a registered driver may drive the rental car throughout the entire holiday. If an unregistered driver is at the wheel, difficulties with the insurance company may arise in an emergency.
