⚠️ Important Insurance Terms – Exclusions of Special Full Insurance (0€ Excess)

Although our Special Full Insurance includes 0€ Excess and no credit card is required, please note the following exceptions where this coverage does not apply:

  1. Self-Inflicted Accidents:
    Damages caused by the driver without the involvement of another party (i.e. single-vehicle accidents) are not covered by the 0€ excess policy. In such cases, the renter may be held financially responsible for the cost of the damages.
  2. Violation of Traffic Laws (Κ.Ο.Κ.):
    If the damage occurs while the driver is in violation of traffic laws (e.g. speeding, illegal overtaking, driving under the influence, running red lights, using a mobile phone while driving, etc.), the insurance coverage becomes void and the renter will be fully liable for all resulting damages.
  3. Improper Use of Vehicle:
    The 0€ excess coverage does not apply in cases of:
    • Off-road driving or driving on non-paved roads
    • Use of the vehicle by unauthorized drivers
    • Negligent behavior (e.g. leaving keys inside the vehicle)
