IMPORTANT  ! ! !

The insurance is against a road accident, random events on the road or road collisions. For the irresponsible behavior of the lessor, the insurance does not return the money - destruction of the interior of the car without the involvement of a road collision/accident or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

When purchasing Gold/Silver/Basic insurance, the excess amount will be blocked on the customer's card and unlocked after 3 business days.In the event of an accident on the road with another vehicle, you are required to complete an accident report (it is in the glove compartment of the car). Lack of an accident report with another vehicle results in the cancellation of the insurance and deposit.

Before continuing your journey from the parking lot, check the weather conditions on VEGAGERDIN. Road conditions are updated continuously. If the road is closed, you are obliged to wait and not leave the parking lot. If you encounter a snowstorm while driving, you are obliged to pull over to the nearest safe place and stop driving.
