Choose the optimal insurance and extend it to any additional drivers

Not only can you hire vehicles from us at low prices, but you can also insure every rental car in the best possible way. We recommend that you take out a comprehensive insurance policy for every car, which should be concluded without a deductible. All alternatives mean saving in the wrong place, because only this policy fully covers small and large damages.

Include a possible second driver in this fully comprehensive insurance so that he enjoys the same protection as you. Ideally you should do this at the Sacramento airport car rental during the rental car transfer. When renting on our portal, the additional driver can not be included in the contract, because the car rental must first see his driving license.

Cheap roundtrip through the States
