The greatest worry when you rent a car is related to damages. What happens if you cause damages to the car? For this situation, there are two solutions: the guarantee or the excess insurance. Find out more about each of them and choose the one that is most convenient to you.
The guarantee
The guarantee is a pre-established amount, a deposit that you give to the rental agent, based on invoice and receipt, to cover the possible partial damages that could occur during the rental period.
