Follow on Google News | Counting The Cost Of Car Hire This SummerBritish travellers could be stung with an excess fee as much as £1,600 when hiring a car this summer, warns online insurer Protectyourbubble.com.
By: Protectyourbubble.com “The excess isn’t often fully explained until you arrive to collect your car, at which point the rental company will try and sell its own top-up insurance. Unfortunately, this can be expensive and doesn’t always cover damage to areas of the car such as the roof, tyres, windows or underside. Travellers can save time and money by buying car hire insurance from an independent insurer in advance. It’s much cheaper, generally provides more extensive cover and can be bought by the day or annually which is particularly cost effective for travellers hiring a car several times a year.” Car hire insurance from Protectyourbubble.co.uk starts from as little as £2.98 a day or £43.50 a year, and covers the excess on the car rental agreement up to £2,000 in any one claim or £3,000 in total each car rental agreement. Costs associated with damage incurred during the car rental agreement to tyres, glass and undercarriage are also covered. Cover also includes benefits for lost keys, personal accident, baggage, reduction in the rental period or cancellation of the car rental due to illness and drop-off charges. Protectyourbubble.co.uk is a new ethical insurer that donates £1 to the national road safety charity, Brake, for every car hire insurance policy sold or renewed. - ends - Excess charges and top-up insurance quotes for rentals from 1-8 August 2009 Sourced direct from car rental companies quoted w/c 13.7.09 COMPANY Alamo Crete Suzuki Swift £500 £35.98 – 1 week AVIS Spain Seat Leon Vehicle Euro 695 Theft Euro 695 Euro 132.51 – 1 week Hertz # # # Protectyourbubble.com is a new online insurance provider trying to make personal insurance simple, easy and uncomplicated – from buying a policy to making a claim.
