I need A 4X4 minivan to rent at Chambéry Aix-les-Bains Airport to drive to Ski resort Tignes with 7 people and luggage.
Agent
Minibuses with 4X4 are not available as a rental vehicle. I would recommend the 9 Seat Opel Vivaro or similar with Alamo as they offer unlimited mileage and the rental price is reasonable. Enough room for 7 people and Ski luggage. To select or filter by "Car category" at the top of STEP2 (above the individual car photos) is a scrolling left to right car type filter, where you can filter the results by car size, for example 7, 8 or 9 seaters or convertibles where they are available.
Agent
Click on "9 Seat Minivan". All 9 seat minivans will be shown now. Select the MINIBUS you want and proceed to STEP3.
Client
OK, thank you. Can I add a full cover Insurance so everything is covered and a ski box? And what will be the price?
Agent
Yes, at STEP3 of the online booking process you are offered full cover Insurance from our partner AXA. Under the text "Don’t take the risk. Take our insurance protection", you see the price per day. "Once you clicked "Book now with insurance" you see the total Insurance price in:- Price Summary of your booking.
Agent
A skibox or other extras like GPS or additional driver can be added at STEP3, the payment stage.
Agent
AXA full cover Insurance:- Reduce your liability. Most car hire suppliers have excess of between €300-1500. Some as high as 3000. If the car was damaged or stolen (for example) you would be liable to pay the excess amount. With the AXA Damage Refund Insurance this should cover your excess requirements. You can check the size of each suppliers excess amount by clicking on the link ¨ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ¨ next to each car photo. Each car supplier may have a different excess amount, so try a few different links. With the AXA Damage Refund Insurance you do NOT need to buy additional insurance at the desk. If there is damage to the car or it is stolen, the car hire supplier will keep the excess to cover the costs, which you can claim back in full with Damage Refund Insurance. What's covered Damage & theft excess refund Tyres, windows, mirrors & wheels Roof, undercarriage & misfuelling Administration charges Key cover & personal possessions This policy is underwritten by INTER PARTNER ASSISTANCE SA, member of the AXA Assistance Group, Avenue Louise 166, 1050 Brussels, Belgium. This insurance is the most comprehensive available and likely to be cheaper than any insurance offered at the desk.

(03:34:18 PM) Richard : Under the SECTION ¨IMPORTANT INFORMATION¨ sub section INSURANCE for the supplier MABI ( for example) it says:- Insurance coverage Collision damage waiver (CDW): Includes 25% tax; Excess 7,500 SEK Damage excess reduction: 95 SEK per day. Includes 25% tax; Excess 1,000 SEK Theft waiver (TW): Includes 25% tax; Excess 7,500 SEK Third party liability protection (TP): Includes 25% tax; Excess 3,000 SEK The Excess Liability is the amount determined by the car rental supplier for which you can be held liable in case of damage/theft of the vehicle. Damage to or loss of tyres, windscreens, glass and undercarriage may not be covered by the CDW (Collision Damage Waiver). Please check with the rental agent at the desk. If you purchase the Excess Reimbursement Insurance from a third party, the main driver will be required to present their credit card at the rental desk in order for the car rental agent to authorize the deposit.
