Am I covered for breakdowns?

Yes. Breakdown cover is included as standard by Autofusion partners. If the car breaks down, contact the partner or Autofusion and we'll make sure a replacement car is provided for the rest of your hire.

Is there an excess amount?

Yes. Every car on Autofusion has an insurance excess, shown on the listing before you book. It's usually between £6,000 and £25,000 depending on the car, and it's the most you pay towards damage or theft covered by the insurance.

What happens if I lose the keys?

Lost or damaged keys are not covered by the insurance, so you pay the replacement cost, usually £300 to £750 depending on the manufacturer. Tell Autofusion and the partner straight away.
