🚘 It’s pretty common for rental suppliers to offer their own additional coverage when you arrive to pick up your car. These offers often come with certain conveniences, like not having to leave a security deposit or not being charged directly for damage. While this can sound appealing—especially after a long trip—it’s important to know that you may not need to accept these add-ons.

💳 If you’ve booked with DiscoverCars.com and have the correct type of payment card (usually a credit card in the main driver’s name) along with enough funds to cover the security deposit, you’re fully set to proceed without purchasing extra coverage from the supplier. You just need to make sure that all required insurance is already included in your booking, or that you have an accepted insurance policy of your own. You’ll find all the relevant details—what’s included, what’s not, and what’s required—clearly listed on your rental voucher.

💵 It’s also good to remember that our Full Coverage works as a reimbursement program. That means if any covered damage or charges occur, you’ll pay them first, and we’ll refund you after the claim is reviewed. Full Coverage is not only typically cheaper than the insurance offered by rental suppliers, but it also covers more—including things like taxi expenses, towing costs, and key loss—giving you more complete protection at a better price. It doesn’t replace the need for a deposit at the desk, but it does offer valuable peace of mind throughout your trip. For more information on Full Coverage, please check these helpful articles.
