Guide to Car Hire Insurance
Filed Under Car Hire, Travel Insurance, Travel Tips | Leave a Comment
Car hire insurance ensures that the person who hires the car has additional protection against the risks that he is exposed to while using it. The cost of car hire insurance is usually transferred to the hirer through a minimum insurance charge. This charge varies from one country to the other and from one insurance company to the other. The types of the insurable risks that are covered include theft, fire, and accidental damage and third party liabilities. In some cases, the ‘excess’ provision applies when it comes to car hire insurance.
‘Excess’ means that the hirer needs to pay a certain proportion of the total claim. The rental company should specify this amount so that you can make a comparison between many companies and end up with the best option. Sometimes, damage caused to wheels, tires, lights, roof and glass might not be included in the car hire insurance cover. Nevertheless, the amount that the hirer gets paid in case there is an accident can be very significant.

When looking for a car hire company, it is important for you to be keen on the terms and conditions that are applicable. Some companies impose very annoying charges for people who fail to return the car with a tank that is full of fuel. In other companies, you have to pay a deposit which is refundable in case you return the car with the tank full of fuel. The main problem with returning the tank full is that the money that you spend on the additional amount of petrol is always way above the normal fuel prices especially in the case of petrol.
When booking the car, the issue of fuel does not seem big but you need to clearly understand the terms of the deal. Additionally, the car should be efficient and suitable for the task ahead. You need to check that it is in the right condition.
