INSURANCE POLICY UPGRADE
(Excess Reimbursement Insurance)

The last thing you need at the end of your trip is an unexpected charge on your credit card.

Although you may have a fully pre-paid voucher for your car, you will still be required to present a valid credit card when you collect the vehicle for the deposit (sometimes referred to as the Excess). In the event you have an accident the car rental company will keep your deposit (Excess).

With specialist cover provided by Insurance4CarHire you can purchase what we believe to be a great car hire reimbursement insurance package. This insurance policy offers reimbursement for excess charges up to £2,000 in any one incident, covering accidental damage to the vehicle and damage to windows and tyres, as well as loss of car keys (up to £500). 

You can take out the cover from as little as £4.75 a day for those aged between 21 and 74 (ideal for shorter breaks up to 9 days). find out more »

Or if you are a frequent driver overseas or away for more than 9 days, you may wish to consider an annual excess insurance policy; the 31 day Worldwide cover costs £65 (ages 21 to 74). This annual policy represents excellent value for money as each time you hire a car abroad during the year you benefit from another 31 days of cover for each trip. find out more »

Please note that these policies do not cover camper vans and are always subject to the same exclusions and conditions as stated in the standard insurance provided by the car hire company (unless specifically noted otherwise).
