  • The coverage Keddy By Europcar or another supplier offers for your Modena car hire can differ, so remember to go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge a fee for it.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers what you'd otherwise have to pay if your Modena car hire is damaged or stolen. While not mandatory, it's a smart add-on if you'd rather play it safe. Keep in mind that insurance policies vary between providers, so make sure you know exactly what's offered.
