Car Hire Excess Insurance

When purchasing car hire excess insurance from CarExcess.co.uk we have your best interests at heart. We want to provide you with cover that protects you and your hire vehicle

Standard rental terms and conditions apply regardless of whether you are hiring a car, truck or van, there’s potentially a large excess payable if the vehicle is damaged in any way. Scratch the wheels, dent the body work, even spill a drink inside the vehicle and you could be left to cover the costs and that’s where excess waiver policies can help by compensating for these costs by providing insurance on rental excesses.
