YOUR <\/b>COVERAGE<\/b> OPTIONS FOR RENTAL CARS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM<\/b><\/h2>\n

LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER<\/b> INCLUDING THEFT PROTECTION<\/b> (LDW)<\/b> AND <\/b>THIRD PARTY INSURANCE (TI)<\/b><\/h4>\n

Our third party liability covers you for damage to third party property, in the case of the death or injury to a third party. Dependent upon your booking rate in the UK, the Loss Damage Waiver will either be included or will be available to include additionally. You can opt for a lower liability for your LDW and reduce your deductible. <\/p>\n

TI<\/b>RE AND <\/b>GLASS<\/b> <\/b>PROTECTION<\/b> AND<\/b> ROADSIDE PROTECTION (BC<\/b>)<\/b> <\/b><\/h4>\n

These coverage options are extremely useful in case of damage to your tires, windshield, and windows or in case of a breakdown or loss of keys. Our tire and glass protection gives you complete cover for damage to these parts of the car. Roadside protection means that you are protected from high service and repair costs in the event of a breakdown or other incident. Opting for these protections means you can relax and enjoy your vacation knowing minor damage or a breakdown is not going to come at a great financial cost.<\/p>\n

LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGE<\/b><\/h3>\n

The loss damage waiver with minimum excess is not available to drivers under 25 and excludes some vehicle categories. For roadside protection Sixt assumes the cost of assistance if your keys are locked in the vehicle, you run out of fuel, you have a dead battery, you lose your keys or your vehicle becomes stuck.
\nWhile much of your cover extends to trips to the European mainland, some vehicle categories come with further restrictions. If you are planning a road trip out of the United Kingdom, be sure to check your coverage options with your Sixt branch manager at pick up or online.<\/p>\n
