100% Casco in a Georgia car rental: what it covers

WeRent includes 100% Casco insurance with car rental in Georgia, including trips starting in Tbilisi, Batumi, Kutaisi, and the main airports. For theft and vandalism during car rental, Casco is designed to respond when the rental car is stolen, intentionally damaged by unknown persons, or harmed during an attempted theft.

This is why WeRent publishes this guide: travelers should know how rental car vandalism coverage works before a stressful incident happens. The insurance is included with WeRent rentals, alongside a zero deposit policy, 24/7 support, delivery to your chosen pickup point, and rental pricing from €27/day.

Does 100% Casco cover theft during a Georgia rental?

Yes, 100% Casco can cover theft during a Georgia rental when the incident is reported correctly and the required documentation is provided. A Georgia police report for car theft is normally essential because the insurer needs official confirmation that the vehicle was stolen, not simply misplaced, abandoned, or kept past the rental period.

Does 100% Casco cover vandalism during a Georgia rental?

Yes, 100% Casco can cover vandalism during a Georgia rental, including malicious damage caused by unknown persons. The same claim logic applies: stop driving if unsafe, document the damage, notify WeRent, and involve police when the damage appears intentional, criminal, or connected to attempted theft.

What to do immediately after theft or vandalism

First 10 minutes: make the situation safe

If the car is gone, do not assume it was towed or moved until you check the area safely. If the car is present but damaged, do not touch broken glass, exposed wiring, damaged locks, or suspicious objects. Move yourself and passengers away from traffic or unsafe surroundings.

First 30 minutes: call WeRent and police

Contact WeRent 24/7 support as soon as possible. WeRent will guide you on whether to call local police immediately, where to wait, and what information to record. If the car is stolen, if there is forced entry, or if vandalism appears intentional, contact police and request a formal police report.

First hour: preserve proof and avoid repair decisions

What should I do in the first hour after theft or vandalism? Take photos and videos, write the time and location, keep the keys, and do not authorize repairs, towing, or replacement parts unless WeRent confirms the next step. The first hour often determines whether the WeRent 100% Casco claim is clear or delayed.

Police report + evidence checklist

Do I need a police report for a Casco claim in Georgia? In theft, attempted theft, and most vandalism cases, yes. The police report connects the event to a specific place, date, and circumstances. Without it, the insurer may not have enough official proof to treat the case as criminal damage or theft.

What documents and photos does WeRent usually request? Expect to provide:

Item	Why it matters
Police report	Confirms theft, vandalism, attempted theft, date, and location
Incident report	Gives WeRent your account of what happened
Photos and videos	Shows damage, surroundings, locks, glass, wheels, and missing parts
Rental agreement	Links the car, driver, and rental period
Vehicle handover inspection	Shows the pre-rental condition of the vehicle
Keys and lock evidence	Helps confirm the car was secured
Driver documents	Confirms the authorized renter and driver
Location details	Helps with recovery, towing assistance, or inspection

Good documentation should be simple and factual. Photograph all sides of the vehicle, close-ups of damage, the street or parking area, nearby cameras or buildings, and any signs of forced entry. If the car is missing, photograph the parking space and nearby landmarks.

Keys, lock/security, and operator responsibility

How do keys/lock/security affect a 100% Casco payout? The insurer will usually check whether the renter kept the keys, locked the vehicle, parked reasonably, and did not leave the car running or unattended with the key inside. These details do not cancel 100% Casco automatically, but they affect how the claim is reviewed.

WeRent will ask practical questions: Where were the keys? Was the vehicle locked? Were windows closed? Was anyone unauthorized using the car? Did the driver follow the rental agreement? The phrase keys and lock matters because theft claims often turn on whether there was forced entry or negligent key handling.

“Operator responsibility” means the renter must use the rental car normally and take basic security steps. Examples include locking the car, keeping the key secure, not leaving valuables visible, and contacting WeRent before taking unusual actions after an incident.

Waiting, towing, and car condition

Once WeRent has the incident details, the team will advise whether you should wait for police, move the vehicle, or arrange recovery. If the vehicle cannot be driven safely, WeRent coordinates towing assistance or gives instructions for an approved towing process.

Do not continue driving with broken windows, damaged tires, exposed wiring, steering damage, leaking fluids, or warning lights after vandalism or attempted theft. Driving a damaged car can make the original claim harder to separate from later damage.

The vehicle handover inspection also matters at the end of the rental. It connects the pickup condition, incident damage, and return condition into one timeline. If a car had no broken glass at pickup and the incident report shows broken glass after vandalism, the claim file is easier to prove.

Common edge cases: attempted theft, partial damage, graffiti, broken glass, missing parts

What if the vehicle is damaged but not stolen, such as broken glass, graffiti, or wheels? File the claim anyway. Rental car vandalism coverage may apply to partial damage even when the car remains drivable. Typical examples include scratched paint, graffiti, smashed windows, damaged mirrors, slashed tires, stolen wheels, broken locks, or removed badges.

What if it’s an attempted theft—do I still file a claim? Yes. Attempted theft can leave real damage: forced door locks, broken ignition parts, damaged windows, cut wiring, or interior damage. Treat it like a theft-related incident: photograph everything, call WeRent, and request police documentation.

If unknown persons damage the vehicle overnight, report it when discovered. If the damage is small but clearly intentional, still contact WeRent before repair. Small damage can become a larger claim if the part affects safety, locks, sensors, windows, or tires.

Timing rules: reporting deadlines, incident dates, and why delays matter

How long do I have to report the incident after it happens? Report it immediately after discovery. The safest rule is: call WeRent first, then police when the event involves theft, attempted theft, or criminal damage. Waiting until drop-off can create avoidable problems.

Delays matter because time-sensitive proof disappears. CCTV may be overwritten, witnesses may leave, weather may change the scene, and police may have less information to record. The claim file should show the incident date, discovery time, report time, location, and steps you took.

If you discover damage late at night in Tbilisi, Batumi, or Kutaisi, still contact WeRent 24/7 support. WeRent can advise whether to wait, move to a safe place, call police immediately, or arrange inspection the next morning.

Deductibles, exclusions, and limits: what you should confirm at pickup

100% Casco insurance is included, but you should confirm the exact rental policy wording at pickup. Ask how theft, vandalism, wheels, tires, glass, underbody, keys, and personal belongings are handled. Insurance usually covers the vehicle, not your luggage, electronics, or cash left inside.

What can delay or deny a theft/vandalism claim under 100% Casco? Common issues include no police report, late reporting, missing keys, inconsistent statements, unauthorized driver use, driving after serious damage, leaving the car unlocked, or repairing the car without approval. Claims can also be delayed when photos are missing or the location is unclear.

At pickup, keep a copy of your rental agreement and complete the handover carefully. The clearer the starting condition, the easier it is to prove that later theft or vandalism is part of an insured event. This is especially useful for airport deliveries and apartment or hotel pickup points.
