‘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.
