Finding the best car hire deal isn't just about how cheap the car is to hire. The extras you’ll be offered at the rental desk can potentially triple the overall cost of your rental, with the most expensive of these being car hire excess insurance, which can cost as much as £20 per day.

In-country and local rentals are automatically covered under policies purchased by European Economic Area (EEA) residents, with no distance from home restrictions included.
Additional drivers covered

How does it work?
1. Buy a car hire excess insurance policy from iCarhireinsurance.com before you travel.
2. Print your policy documents and take them with you, or download the iCarhire app and have access to all your current and expired policies. With the app, you can purchase a new policy, renew an annual policy, submit a claim and use the SNAPs feature to take and store before and after photos of your rental vehicle.
3. Say no to additional excess waivers you’re offered at the rental desk. If you’re given the hard sell, stand your ground!
4. If your hire car is damaged or stolen and you’re charged an excess by the rental company, simply pay the excess and then submit a claim within 60 days of returning home via their online claims service. This service is available to you 24/7, 365 days a year to ensure your claim is dealt with efficiently.
