*Hassle-Free Desk: The dreaded moment when the rental company hits you with upsells, extra inspections, or credit card dramas—turning what should be a quick pick-up into a drawn-out negotiation.


Third-Party Protection: What you need to know
Some companies might call it 'Full Protection' or 'Premium Protection', but we're here to tell you the facts.
Third-party protection does cover you fully against damage costs, just like our best product. However, the rental desk experience? That's still going to be the same as if you'd picked the basic option.
What is Third-Party Protection?It's an independent coverage that protects you from damage costs the rental company could charge. It works well but doesn't change how things go down at the rental desk.If you're interested in third-party protection, Rental Cover is our preferred partner. You can learn more or purchase coverage directly by visiting their website.
What is expected at the Rental Desk:Even with third-party protection, you'll still face the usual desk drama—deposits, credit card holds, and those upsell attempts. While you're financially protected, the hassle at the desk doesn't go away.We believe in keeping things clear: while third-party protection covers you well, the customer experience remains basic.
The Role of the Car Rental Company:Rental companies insure their cars, and they need you to either buy their protection or leave a deposit. Third-party protection takes care of the financial risks, but the rental company still holds the cards at pick-up.Want to avoid the hassle entirely? Read more about our Best Protection, which keeps both your wallet and your rental process smooth.
