Renting a car also leads you to subscribe to temporary car rental insurance. However, your bank card may already understand this offer. With your Visa Premier card, American Express or Mastercard Gold, rent a vehicle with confidence. Discover the different levels of insurance and assistance guarantees from which you benefit from your bank card.
Wherever you go, don't forget your first card. In addition to being able to pay your shopping more easily, it also allows you to benefit from a rental vehicle guarantee. The Visa Premier Rental Car card is effective in France and abroad.
Voici les différentes conditions pour profiter de cette garantie :
• Le loueur doit être une agence professionnelle. If you have rented from an individual, this offer is not effective, you must subscribe to an appropriate insurance agency to benefit from the guarantees you need. In addition, the professional rental agency must have you completed a contract that you must sign; This contract necessarily mentions the name of each driver of the car;
• All expenses related to the rental of the car must be paid via your Visa Premier card;
• The rental limit is 60 days, you can renew the contract if necessary;
• The claims limit is 2 per calendar year.
• The driver of the car must respect the driving clauses of the chosen vehicle, in addition to respecting the highway code in the region where he moves.
The Visa Premier Rental Car card covers the case of various flights and accidents, whether you are responsible or not. If your rental vehicle needs repair, insurance pays the total amount of repair up to a limit of 50,000 euros. In the case of vandalism, you must join a complaint with the police. The lessor can make flows on your card to pay the invoicing of repairs, and to benefit from a refund, you must present proof.
It should be noted that the car rental guarantee offered by the Visa Premier card is not an offer offered by the bank, but rather by the Visa card, therefore the company Visa. Thus, insurance and assistance services do not change depending on the bank. The bank can have an effect on the offer only when it comes to the caps of the prices imposed by your bank.
The car rental guarantee offered by the Visa card does not apply to all circumstances. Certaines exclusions sont à prendre en compte pour éviter toute confusion :
• Si vous choisissez un véhicule utilitaire, son poids ne doit pas excéder 3,5 tonnes.
