Excess

In the case of damage, the renter is responsible for paying 5,000 DKK in own risk. The minimum excess to initiate Wedio Global Coverage is £580 in the UK, and €670 in EU Countries.

Reimbursement will be paid out to lenders with or without VAT depending on the lender's status.

Claims

Wedio Global Coverage must be used secondary to any existing coverage procured by the lender.

If a damage is accepted, you will be reimbursed the market value of the equipment rented out or the cost to repair if repairable (whichever value is lowest). The renter will be responsible for an excess payment of 5,000 DKK which will be collected by Wedio.

If the renter does not pay their own risk, Wedio will still pay up to 5,000 DKK to the lender if all conditions are met.
