Personal Accident Insurance
Covers the driver and passengers in case of an incident
Personal Accident Insurance is a package designed to provide additional cover on top of the basic cover included in your quote, and is an excellent way to enjoy peace of mind should someone suffer an injury as a result of an accident.
Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) provides personal cover to the driver and passengers in the event of an incident. We have selected 4 key questions to keep the information simple and succinct. We understand car rental can be difficult and it's our goal to change this and make all our products and services transparent for our customers.
What is Personal Accident Insurance?
This is the only protection cover offered where the 'driver' is covered for personal injury. It is worth checking if you're already covered for this under your own travel insurance.

Personal Accident Insurance is available to purchase at the rental station upon pick up.
If you would like to purchase PAI, Budget has an agreement with AIG who has agreed to enter into a direct contract of insurance with you to provide this cover. Just let us know at the start of your rental and we'll add it to your rental agreement - and you're covered.
