Insurance Excess

Protecting your Car & Van rental

As with all hire companies, and your personal policy, our insurance carries an excess amount, this is the maximum amount you will be liable for in the event of an accident, damage, or theft of the hire vehicle whilst in your care. This figure is typically £750 (may be higher on top end vehicles).

Our partners at insurance4carhire can cover your car hire insurance excess for you with a ‘reimbursement policy’. This policy will repay you any excess amount paid to us, giving you piece of mind. They offer three different types of policy: Daily Car, Daily Van, and an annual car insurance excess reimbursement policies aimed at frequent travellers / hirers.

The daily car & van hire insurance excess reimbursement policies are pretty much the same, except one is for cars, the other for Vans & Commercial vehicles. These work on you paying a fixed daily amount for the duration of the hire. A daily excess reimbursement policy for you car hire can be taken out by clicking here,

These policies cover any vehicle hired during that period from any hire company, and there is no limitation on distance from home as with the annual policy. An annual car rental reimbursement policy is a fantastic deal for ex-pats and frequent business travellers.

One key point of the terms of the policy to note that the hire must take place 150km from the hirers permanent residence.
Annual reimbursement car hire policies are therefore not suitable if hiring in your home town. They are a bargain for those who hire away from home regularly.

Starting from just £49 for a Europe-wide policy they offer terrific value for money. Annual policies cover any hire car (not vans) insurance excess (upto a certain amount) with any hire company.

If you hire from us in March, and from a company in Germany in April, Another in Italy in May, the same policy protects your excess on each occasion.
