What You Need to Know About Insurance When Renting a Car in Scotland

Though it also has truly remarkable cities, Scotland’s main attraction is its awe-inspiring natural wilderness and a car rental is a great way to see it. Whether you’re taking the open road out of Glasgow into the highlands and beyond, or heading into the immense Cairngorms National Park, being fully aware of your insurance and coverage options can secure you financially in case of an event. Read on to find out about the coverage and extra protection options available in Scotland.

YOUR COVERAGE OPTIONS FOR RENTAL CARS IN SCOTLAND

LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER (LDW) INCLUDING THEFT PROTECTION AND THIRD PARTY INSURANCE (TI)

In Scotland, your car rental deal comes with third party liability coverage, which gives you financial security in case of death or injury to a third party during an accident. To have comprehensive cover, make sure you have the LDW to prevent a huge bill in the unfortunate event of theft or vehicle damage. Dependent upon your booking rate, the Loss Damage Waiver will either be included or will be available to include additionally. 

TIRE AND GLASS PROTECTION AND ROADSIDE PROTECTION

In addition, you can opt to be completely covered for tire and glass damage as well as covering yourself from costs that arise from common causes of breakdown, such as loss of keys or running out of fuel.

LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE

In order to receive the benefits of roadside protection you must make a direct claim with Sixt Roadside Assistance. You are covered for keys are locked in the vehicle, running out of fuel, a dead battery, loss of keys and if your vehicle becomes stuck. A LDW with the minimum excess is not available to drivers under 25 or to renters of cars in the category X***. In Scotland there are territorial restrictions of traveling into other countries in Europe that can invalidate your coverage. For more information, you can check the rental information on the Sixt website or ask your branch manager when you pick up your vehicle.
