Car Rental Excess Insurance

Frequent travelers learn to expect the unexpected, that not every detail of your travel will happen as planned, and this is why you need insurance.  Even frequent travelers though, have questions about Excess Insurance Coverage for their car rental.  Is it because Excess Coverage is confusing?  No.  Just the opposite.

The main question is often "If insurance is already included in my rental price from Carhirex.com, why do I need to purchase Excess Insurance," and the answer is simple.  When you hire a car the insurance comes with a claim excess.  This amount is usually around EUR 1,000.  This means that in the event of a claim the regular insurer will expect you to pay the car rental company up to that amount out of pocket before they pitch in.  With an added insurance that offers zero excess, you can avoid these out of pocket fees.

The car rental excess insurance through Carhirex.com is provided by Mondial Excess Coverage.  They cover your excess up to £2,000, which includes the windows, tyres, undercarriage, roof, rental car key cover, and even your persoanl possessions up to £300.  They call this coverage their All Excess Cover, and we think its a great way for travelers to protect themselves and their families from the hardship of an expensive insurance claim.

Mondial All Excess Insurance coverage is strictly for incidents when the vehicle is accidentally damaged, involved in an accident, or stolen during the hire agreement.  It is only available to residents of the UK who are over 21 and under 75 years of age.  To find out more about the specifics of our zero excess insurance coverage through Mondial please see the Mondail Collision Damage Waiver Insurance pdf, and thoroughly read the Rate Details before you confirm your booking.
