Insurance
for car rental for Europe, USA and Canada and worldwide from
Insurance4CarHire.com
Do
you know that the Excess can cost more than the car? This
insurance is a great way to save money and have peace
of mind when you rent a car - a great selection of policies
available
Do
you know that it could cost you £500 or more for any damage
to your rental car? EVEN IF IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!
For
a low, annual premium, Insurance4carhire.com provides excess
insurance protecting the customer against excess charges whenever
they rent a car.
Your car rental agreement normally includes cover for Collision
Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft. However you are still liable
for the Excess on CDW and Theft. When a rental car is damaged
or stolen, the driver is asked to pay the first portion of
the repair or replacement costs. This is known as the Excess.
Insurance4carhire covers you
not only for the total amount of Excess for which you are
liable if the car is damaged or stolen, but also for damage
to the roof and undercarriage of the car, and windows and
tyres.
How
our Excess Insurance Works - We insure the Policy Holder,
not the rental vehicle. Excess is a voluntary insurance. Decline
the car rental company's Excess cover at the counter when
you collect the car. If the car is damaged or stolen, the
car rental company will charge your credit card for the Excess
amount and you then claim for reimbursement on your Policy.
All
Gold Policies include Car Rental Key Replacement Insurance
This
covers costs up to £500 for each claim, subject to a maximum
of £2,000 in any one year. It covers replacement of a lost
or stolen car rental car key, including replacement locks
and locksmith charges.

ADVICE
ON CAR RENTAL
Before
you leave home - Ensure
thay you are carrying both your picture and paper driving
licences. The paper licence is essential as it shows any endorsements
you may have.
When
you collect the car:
- Check
the vehicle for damage
- Check
the spare tyre
REMEMBER:
- Most
car rental locations require a credit card
- Most
car rental locations will not accept debit or switch cards
- You
must have held a valid driving licence for one year
- British
licence holders should note that many car hire outlets will
not release the rental vehicle on sight of a photocard driving
licence without also seeing the paper licence counterpart.They
may also ask to see the paper licence counterpart of all
named drivers.
- Always
ask what is included in the rates quoted
- Never
initial or sign an agreement without asking about each item
- Do
not over insure. If you have travel insurance you do not
need personal effects or personal accident insurance
- Pre-purchase
or Pre-reserve your car rental
- Purchase
from agents within your own country in case you need refunds
or assistance
- When
you pick-up your vehicle determine where the drop off point
is for your return
- Ask
if the return area has an attendant. If not, who do you
return the car to?
- If
you leave the vehicle without check-in, examine it for damage
and photograph it from every angle.
- Drink
drive laws vary from country to country - for example in
Italy if you have a glass of wine and a grappa with dinner
and you are stopped by the police - you will be fined.
- Know
your speed limits - these vary from country to country.
- Speed
/ Radar cameras certainly apply to rental cars as well!
The rental company will be notified and the renter contacted
by the authorities. Speed traffic camera information is
now being sent from one country to another. e.g. someone
caught speeding with a French registered car in Italy will
find that the fine will be reported to the French authorities
if it is not paid.
- Check
with the Hire company if you can take the car out of the
country you are renting in.e.g. Going from France into Italy
or if renting in Ireland can you take the car into Northern
Ireland or into the Republic of Ireland.
