Insurance
You're covered! All of our cars are insured during the rental period. And the cost of insurance is included in the price.
We selected our insurer on the basis of their offering that serves the best interests of both owners and drivers. Our partners, MTA and the Gras Savoye Berger Simon agency, have been insuring professional and taxi fleets for over thirty years.
A Full Coverage Insurance
The vehicle is insured against:
- accident
- theft
- fire
- natural disaster
The car is covered to its market value (based on expert sources).
Both owner and driver are covered:
- Liability (including damage caused to others)
bodily : unlimited
material : 10 million € - Driver warranty up to 30 000€
- Protection juridique et assistance administrative
- Frais de dépannage suite à un accident jusqu'à 250€
The owner's "bonus" is protected during the reservation: his insurance will be untouched in the case of an accident.
The deductible is only 500€.
In the event of an accident, the driver must pay the deductible.
For vehicles whose purchase value is greater than 50 000€, the deductible is higher. See below.
A roadside assistance, 24/7, from first mile
Our assistance covers 100% of cars during rental. Towing to the garage, replacement rental for the remainder of your trip, repatriation, everything is included.

More Answers:
Is my car insurable?
Your vehicle must be:
- "a motorized land vehicle with four wheels, and weight not to exceed 3,5 tons" sorry, no boats or planes!
- registered in France (including DOM POM)
- insured
You must have the legal authority to add this car to our network if you are not the owner (e.g.: company car).
Am I eligible to drive a Buzzcar ?
You must:
- be at least 21 years old
- have had your driver's licence at least 2 years
- had no at-fault accidents during the last 3 years
You don't have to have a French license, but you must have one that is valid in France.
- French (yes, it is true!)
- European Union or European Economic Community.
- International driver's licenses (for vacations and short stays) with a version translated into French.
If you are a foreigner living in France, your permit is valid the first year after your arrival. After this period, you should replace it with a French licenseat the Préfecture. Here is the list of countries with which exchange is possible.
And of course, your permit must be valid!
These vehicles are covered by our insurance:
- Value when new does not exceed 230 000 €.
- Cars
- Light utility vehicles (permit B)
- Vehicles that can be driven without a permit (we still require you to have a permit and meet all our standards listed above.)
- Camper vans
These vehicles are not insured by us and should not be included in Buzzcar :
- Motocycles, scooters and other two-wheel vehicles
- Cars with three wheels (it is discrimination!)
- Tow trucks and Caravans
The deductible depends on the value of the vehicle when new, and its "puissance fiscale."

Just like traditional car insurance, ours does not cover:
- Glass (windshields, real view mirrors, windows, lights)
- Tires
- Theft with access to the key. If the driver lets the keys (and the car) be stolen, he will be held responsable for all damages. Our insurer will assist the owner with recovery.
