In order to be insured against self-inflicted damage to third-party vehicles, you need liability insurance. This insurance is already included in all vehicles that you can rent via our portal. So you will be able to drive through Guadalajara by rental car relaxed. We recommend a liability insurance, which covers a damage sum of at least one million euro. You can find out whether the insurance of your chosen car fulfills this requirement in the rental conditions. Optionally, we also offer you key replacement insurance, theft insurance and insurance for damage to the underbody, glass, tyres and roof.
Since damage such as scratches can also occur to your own rental car, you need a fully comprehensive without excess. The insurance will cover you in the event of damage. You have to pay the excess when you return the damaged car. In most cases, the car rental company simply deducts the amount from your deposit. If you then hand in the protocol and invoice to your agent, you will receive the excess back.
When you pick up your rental car in Guadalajara, a deposit is required. The car rental company will usually debit the money directly from your credit card and refund it to you when you return the vehicle. The amount of the deposit can be found in the rental conditions.

Would you like to take turns driving the car with your companion? Then use the additional driver option! You can register one or more persons as additional drivers when you pick up the rental car at the car rental in Guadalajara. All drivers must present their international driving licence and identity card. Under no circumstances should you let a non-registered person drive the car, as this person is not insured.
