Hi guys

I have been trying to look for information on this and I am unable to find specific answers to my queries. Please help if you can?

I am travelling to Houston this December for a couple of weeks so spend time with family. Can't do anything there without a car. I need to hire a car for 2 weeks so myself and my wife can drive it. We have UK drivers licenses.

I have seen car hire options but none of them have insurance added onto the rental. It's always an add on at collection point. I don't want to take the risk of a huge hit on insurance on collection. I can't tell how much insurance will be.

Can you kind people please share your experiences on what the best and cheapest way would be to hire a car for 2 people on UK licenses, with insurance cover?

Many thanks

    Not sure where you've been looking (USA sites? )but UK brokers always include insurance.

    As stated by blindman, uk brokers and the uk sites of car hire companies all include insurance.
    If you go to the US sites, they often don't. Just make sure you use uk sites and check the terms of the booking.
