Looking for car hire at Green Island Portugal, is the rental car damage protection through AXA a zero deductible?

Agent

Mostly there is no excess when you take out the extra Insurance with AXA. You can read all the information here:-

At STEP3 during the online booking process after choosing your car model, subject to your country of residence you may be offered extra comprehensive insurance with our insurance partner AXA. This is the most comprehensive and cost effective insurance available. However you will also be offered extra insurance at the desk on arrival. To view these options, next to the car photo of your choice is a link entitled IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Click on this and then on INSURANCE and it will display the options of that particular supplier. Try a few different suppliers as they do vary widely. If you purchase our online insurance with AXA, print the policy that will be emailed to you and take it with you. You do not need any other insurance.
