Daily
Excess Reimbursement Insurance
For
just £4.50 per day, dailyexcess.com protects you against Excess charges worldwide,
whenever and wherever you rent a car. Most
car rental companies charge an Excess when you have an accident – sometimes as
high as £1,000. Often they will offer to sell you their own Excess insurance,
but buying over the counter can cost you up to £12 per day.
Our policy is only £4.75 per day and offers you full
protection. What’s more, we provide cover for window and tyre damage, excluded
from most alternative policies. HOW
IT 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. BENEFITS:
- Cover
Excess on damage to the rented vehicle, Excess on theft
-
Covers damage to windows, tyres, undercarriage & the roof
-
Valid worldwide: can be used at all car rental locations and with all car rental
companies
-
Covers the policy holder & all additional drivers
-
You choose the start date (up to 6 months in advance)
CONDITIONS
APPLICABLE
- Drivers
must be aged 21-74 years
- Valid
up to a maximum of 62 days

Insurance4carhire.com's car rental Excess comparative site Discover
the real costs of car rental excess The
site shows the Excess amounts charged by the major car rental companies, as well
as the daily rates they charge to reduce the Excess.
The information
was compiled during April 2007 by Insurance4carhire
staff calling each car rental company's airport location at the international
airport in the capital city of each country – more than 180 locations in
total - and the costs are based on the daily cost of excess for a compact size
car.
The survey was conducted in more than 30 countries across Europe,
South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, USA and Canada. The car rental companies
surveyed are: Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Hertz and National It
clearly and simply shows the consumer: What
their exposure is to Excess on their rental – information that is often hidden
and very difficult to get even when you call the car rental location
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.
