Is there a fee for EXTRA DRIVERS?
Additional drivers are free - with some restrictions. The car can be driven, fully
insured, by immediate family members (spouse & children), even if the lessee is
not in the car. If anyone else (non resident of the E.U.) drives the car, the lessee
must be in the vehicle for the insurance to remain in effect.

Do PEUGEOT OPEN EUROPE and RENAULT EURODRIVE lease rates INCLUDE INSURANCE?

The Peugeot Open Europe program includes all of the following insurances, with
ZERO DEDUCTIBLE:
-Civil Liability for driver & passengers
-Theft and/or Fire of the Vehicle
-Broken windows
-Collision/Accident/Vandalism
Luggage & Personal Items are not covered.

Peugeot Open Europe insurance coverage is superior to that of virtually any
rental - there are no deductibles, and no credit card imprints are taken by
Peugeot against the car for damage. In other words, there are no surprises on
your credit card statement upon returning from vacation.

Any other form of IDL/IDP, or anything costing more than $15, is unnecessary.
