Breaking it Down

When renting a car with Hertz, the basic insurance cover required by law (such as Third Party Liability) will be included in your rental. With Hertz, you can also opt in for additional protection to cover your rental. Check the local insurance requirements ahead of time and consider eliminating the excess applicable for accidental damage by taking out SuperCover. For a complete peace of mind, explore purchasing other extras such as our Premium Emergency Roadside Service.
