What is the full C.D.W. coverage and how does it work?
C.D.W. (Collision Damage Waiver) is an insurance plan that covers your rental from all types of accidents that occurred by you or your additional driver and with the maximum agreed on waiver amount (Waiver amount is usually 500.00€ per accident for small and medium cars and up to 900.00€ for luxury models, minivans and SUVs). So, if you have an accident and you are at fault, the maximum amount you will be called to pay is the waiver amount.
Examples with a 500.00€ waiver:
A) For an accident with 100.00€ worth of damage, you will be billed the amount of 100.00€.
B) For an accident with a 2,000.00€ worth of damage, you will be billed only the amount of 500.00€.

For leases less than 15 days duration we are not in the position to offer F.D.W. (0.00€ waiver)
For leases that exceed the 15 days duration, the Full Damage Waiver is available with an extra daily cost (calculated according to the vehicle type and lease duration). Even on the occasion of a Full Damage Waiver, tires and the car’s underpart are covered.

What is theft and fire insurance?
This insurance reduces the driver’s responsibility in case of total theft of the car or damage caused by fire (500.00€ up to 900.00€ depending on vehicle type). In case of total theft of the car or a fire, you must come in contact with our office and the police to report the incident. You are also required to submit to our office as soon as possible a copy of the police report, the lease documents, and the car keys. The insurance for theft is not applied after the agreed date of rent.
What is AUTO TRUST’s fuel policy?
Our policy with fuel is for the car to be returned with the same level/amount of fuel that it was delivered. Upon delivery of the car, the fuel level will be inspected with the customer's presence and will be noted on the lease contract. At the return of the car, if the fuel level is lower than the noted one, the difference will be billed to the customer. Our company does not charge any extra refill cost.
In the occasion that the car is returned with a higher amount of fuel than the noted one, AUTOTRUST is not required to refund any fuel cost amount.
