Insurance for Car Hire Excess

Does this sound familiar? You're on holiday, picking up your hire car from the garage, getting ready to explore, all you have to do now is sign the paper work and get going. Here at Essential Travel we know that the small print can be boring and many of us often just sign the paperwork without really understanding what it's about. However, it's important to realise that when you sign the car hire paperwork you've agreed to be accountable and liable for the majority of things that could go wrong with your rental vehicle.

What Will Your Car Rental Company NOT Cover You For?

As bizarre as this may seem your car rental insurance will often not cover you if any damage occurs to your:

  • Car windscreen
  • Any of your car tyres
  • The under body of your car
  • Car Hire Excess
  • Third Party Liability

Here at Essential Travel we think that the tyres, windscreen and under body are fundamental aspects of a car and for them to be excluded is absurd. We also think that parting with and £1000 in excess charges is a sure way to dampen your holiday mood. To combat this we have introduced our Cheap Car Hire Excess Insurance.
