At Rhodes Car Rental, we believe that hiring a car should be simple, safe, and worry-free. That’s why our insurance coverage is designed to be transparent, fair, and easy to understand, allowing you to explore Rhodes with complete peace of mind.

Full Damage Waiver (FDW) – Included in the Rental Rate
For most vehicles in our fleet, Full Damage Waiver (FDW) is already included in the rental rate, at no additional cost.
FDW applies to:
- All small and medium category vehicles
- All minivans
In the event of an accident:
- Vehicle damage is fully covered
- You are not financially responsible for repair costs
- Coverage remains valid provided the correct accident procedure is followed
No hidden charges and no unexpected costs — this protection is included from the very beginning of your rental.
What to Do in Case of an Accident
To ensure that your insurance coverage applies in full, please follow these steps:
- Contact our 24/7 assistance service immediately
The contact number is available:
- On your rental agreement
- On the vehicle keys
- Inside the vehicle - Remain at the location of the incident
- Wait for official assistance, which may include:
- Police authorities
- Insurance representatives
Once this procedure is followed correctly, your insurance coverage remains fully valid.
Optional Additional Coverage – W.U.G. (Wheels, Undercarriage, Glass)
For added reassurance, Rhodes Car Rental offers W.U.G. coverage as an optional enhancement for most vehicle groups.
This coverage applies even without an accident and includes protection against:
- Scratches or damage while parked
- Broken windows or side mirrors
- Wheel or tyre damage
- Undercarriage damage
W.U.G. coverage is ideal for extra confidence when driving or parking in unfamiliar areas and protects against unexpected situations beyond the driver’s control.
