Question 5

Do I need extra insurance to rent a car in Venezuela?

Most car hire deals in Venezuela include basic insurance cover. You don’t need to add excess insurance, but it’s worth thinking about.

In Venezuela, the excess (what you pay if the car gets damaged or stolen) ranges from $1,075 to $1,075, depending on who you book with. Excess insurance prices in Venezuela also vary by company.

You can buy excess insurance separately, which is usually cheaper than buying it through the car hire company.

Question 6

Do I need a credit card to hire a car in Venezuela?

Accepted Answer

It depends. Some car hire companies in Venezuela accept debit cards, others require a credit card. Check the company’s accepted payment methods before you book.

Either way, the card needs to be in the main driver's name and you'll need enough money on it to cover a security deposit. You’ll get that back when you return the car.

Question 7

What happens if I need to cancel my car hire in Venezuela?

Accepted Answer

If you've booked car hire with free cancellation, you can usually cancel or change your booking without paying a fee. The time you have to cancel depends on the car hire company, but it's typically around 48 hours before pick-up. If you cancel after that, you may be charged.

If your booking doesn't include free cancellation, you'll need to check the car hire company's policy. Depending on when you cancel, you might need to pay a cancellation fee or you won’t get a refund.
