Benefits of Car Hire Excess Insurance

  • Covers Car Rental at Home or Abroad
    Renting a Car on holiday gives you flexibility to explore the area at your own pace. Short-term Car Rental at home may be necessary while your own vehicle is repaired, or for occasional use as part of a car share scheme. Whatever your reasons for hiring a car - make sure you're not left with the bill if the vehicle is damaged or stolen whilst in your care.
  • Easy to arrange insurance to suit your needs
    If you don’t hire often, we offer single hire insurance. Alternatively, if you are likely to hire two or more times a year, Annual multi-trip insurance gives fantastic value and year-round peace of mind.
  • Why pay your Rental firm's costly Collision Damage Waiver?
    Collision Damage Waiver is offered by most Car Rental companies, enabling you to remove or reduce the amount charged for damage to the car. This add-on can be expensive and may not cover all costs, particularly relating to tyres, windows and underbody.
    Our car hire excess insurance acts in place of CDW, at a much lower price and covering damage to any part of the vehicle
  • Protection
    If your holiday rental car is damaged or stolen, you are usually liable to pay an Excess, or Collision Damage charge.Even if the damage was not your fault, you will be charged.

Pay less for your Collision Damage cover

Renting a car while overseas gives you tremendous freedom to explore your destination. But it can be expensive, especially when car rental excess insurance is factored in. Some customers are only offered a collision damage waiver when they collect their car – an often expensive fee that can further stretch the budget.

There’s no denying that a collision damage waiver can give you extra peace of mind – especially on unfamiliar roads overseas – but car rental companies often charge a hefty fee for this important add-on.

Car Hire Excess Insurance from Worldwide Insure gives you all the protection you need in the event of a collision – but for a much lower price. Many holiday makers are becoming wise to the high fees charged by car rental firms for excess cover, which is why buying separate car hire excess cover has become so popular.
