General Information
When traveling and renting a vehicle in an unfamiliar place it is always a good idea to find out what the insurance requirements are for vehicle rentals in that specific country. When renting a car with Kemwel in the Czech Republic your rate will include any mandatory insurance necessary.

All of our rental rates in the Czech Republic will include third party liability and fire insurance. In the Czech Republic CDW and theft protection are optional and can be added to your rental at anytime prior to the pick up of your rental vehicle. In the event CDW and Theft are declined in order to take advantage of coverage offered by your credit card Kemwel asks for you to contact your credit card company to learn the specifics of your insurance coverage. Insurance details specific to your rental will print in the terms and conditions area of your rental voucher.

At this time we at Kemwel would like for you to take a moment to read about the following insurance guidelines that may apply to car rentals in the Czech Republic.

Required Coverage
When renting a car in the Czech Republic it is required to have third party liability on the vehicle. Third party liability covers damages or injury to people and property outside of the vehicle (pedestrians, buildings etc, other cars). Kemwel has included unlimited third party liability and fire insurance for all rentals commencing in the Czech Republic.

Optional Coverage
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and theft protection are optional for rentals commencing in the Czech Republic. Kemwel offers CDW and Theft in our inclusive rental rates for the Czech Republic. Many of the rental suppliers we work with will still have a deductible that you will be responsible for in the event of a collision or theft that can range from $500 USD to 1000 USD depending on the car category. Super CDW is a supplementary insurance that is available with most suppliers locally to help reduce the amount of the deductible; the cost is approximately $22 USD per day and can vary between suppliers. Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) may also be available locally to help cover medical related expenses of the driver and passengers in the event of an accident. PAI generally covers up to a specific dollar amount set by the local rental supplier and costs approximately 10-14 USD per day.
