Whether you are going on holiday or a business trip, car hire insurance from us gives you the coverage you need. Our car hire excess and CDW/LDW policies offer comprehensive coverage at a competitive price compared to what you pay at the rental car desk!
Car hire excess insurance is an optional insurance product that covers you against any excess charges you may incur when you hire a car. If your vehicle is damaged or stolen whilst in your possession, the rental company will ask you to pay the first portion of these costs (the excess charge). By having excess insurance in place you can protect yourself against these charges.
At iCarhireinsurance.com we offer both European and Worldwide policies which cover you for up to £6,000 worth of excess charges. What’s more, our policies cover vulnerable parts of the vehicle such as tyres, roof, windscreen and undercarriage as standard – parts which are often excluded from the rental companies’ equivalent policies.
