Insurance 

You do not have to buy additional insurance if you take the car into Kosovo.

If you enter neighbouring countries, you must purchase a Green Card for the cover to be effective. The Green Card can be bought at the border as you leave Albania, €15 for Montenegro and €40 for North Macedonia and lasts 15 days.

For the countries where Green Card is required we also apply a CBF “Cross Border Fee” of and additional €40. We do apply this fee in order to be able to assist you in those countries in case of necessity.

We’re happy for you to drive our Ladas in Albania, Kosovo, Montenegro and North Macedonia. Unfortunately we can’t let you take them into Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Bulgaria or Greece.

Pay an Extra €80 for Full Cover

If you want complete peace of mind, we recommend you purchase our full cover when you hire the vehicle, at an additional €80. This covers the full value of the vehicle in the event of an accident in which is deemed by the authorities to be your fault.

This isn’t permission for you to destroy the car when you take it off-road, though! Damage caused by careless driving resulting in broken suspension components, such as shock absorbers or steering arms, and damage to the chassis or under-body of the car or a flooded engine are not covered by any insurance policy!

We ask you to be mindful that we are a small outfit, and to treat our vehicles as if they are your own.

Cash Damage Deposit of €300

Because we assume you are going to take our cars off road, we ask for a cash damage deposit of €300. This will be returned in full assuming you return the car undamaged.

We take this deposit even if you have paid the €80 extra for full cover, mainly as an incentive for you to drive responsibly when you take the car off-road.

What You’re NOT Covered For Under Any Circumstances

• Careless driving resulting in under-body, chassis & suspension damage.
• Tyres (flat tyres can usually be repaired by any tyre shop; however, if we need to replace the tyre we will take €100 from your deposit).
