Excess insurance options
Travellers can opt to insure their car hire with a Collision Damage Waiver (rental car insurance), or may purchase travel insurance that covers rental car accidents. The latter is often the more affordable option. For holders of Australian licenses DriveNow offers pre-purchased rental insurance for Greece through our partner Hiccup Insurance who specialise in car rental insurance and whose rates are often cheaper than those offered by the rental companies. Learn more about car hire insurance options. Whichever option you elect to take remember that in the event of an accident secure copies of all documentation, police reports and if possible take photos.
