How are you insured?

A helpful guide to our insurance options, and how to choose the right one for you.

Updated today

🛡️ Insurances explained, what are your options?

When you use a Poppy, you can pay per minute, per kilometer or buy a pass. But what happens if something goes wrong — like a scratch, dent, or accident? That’s where insurance comes in.

You can choose from three types of insurance, depending on how much protection you want:


1. Basic insurance

  • Free of charge.

  • ⚠️ If there’s damage, you pay the full deductible — up to €5,000 for cars and €6,000 for vans, depending on the vehicle (visible in the app).

  • 💸 High risk: expensive if anything goes wrong.


2. Insurance Plus

  • 💶 A small fee per hour

  • After 5 hours, you just pay the day price

  • If there’s damage, your deductible is cut in half vs. Basic insurance.

👍 Good balance between price and protection
🛠️ Less stress if something happens


3. Insurance Premium (maximum protection)

  • 💸 Higher fee per hour

  • After 5 hours, you also just pay the day price

  • If there’s damage, your deductible is only 25% of the Basic insurance amount.

🚀 Best for peace of mind
🛡️ You pay the least if something goes wrong


🧾 What’s a “Franchise” (or Deductible)?

It’s the amount you have to pay if there’s damage to the vehicle.
The better your insurance, the less you’ll need to pay out of your own pocket.


💳 What if you bought a pass?

If you bought a pass, here’s how it works:

  • You’ll pay the hourly insurance rate if your pass is under 5 hours.

  • If your pass lasts more than 5 hours, you’ll automatically pay the daily insurance rate.

  • If you have a day pass or a multi-day pass, you’ll pay the daily insurance rate for each day your pass covers.


🗓️ What if you have an active subscription?

Insurance is not included in your subscription. You still have to select an insurance type before starting each trip.


💰 Where can I see the prices for each insurance type?

When you select a vehicle in the app, you’ll see exactly how much each insurance option will cost for that specific vehicle.

Insurance prices depend on the vehicle you choose. S-tier cars are cheaper to repair, while vans and larger vehicles come with higher repair costs.

That said, the insurance structure stays the same across all vehicles:

  • Insurance Plus: Reduces your deductible to 50% of the Basic insurance amount

  • Insurance Premium: Reduces your deductible to 25% of the Basic insurance amount


🔔 Important information:

  • You must select your insurance type before starting your trip.

  • Poppy does not cover the loss of personal belongings left inside the vehicles
