I wasn't even driving, but the car was hired in my name... Anyway, not a rant or anything - just saying that just because a year has passed, doesn't mean…

Car Hire Excess Insurance Question
Hi, I was looking at car hire on kayak. The cheapest car hire came out to about £15/day with £10/day for excess cover.

Thomson Orlando car hire
Hi I have booked a week's holiday in Orlando with Thomson and part of the deal is that it incudes "free" car hire.
