Car hire excess
Renting a car in France later this month. It seems virtually impossible to find a policy for car hire which includes cover to the interior of the vehicle. With 2 young kids, 1 of which just scarred my wife's dashboard with a toy, I wonder why a) this is case, and b) how I can get cover for the interior of the hire card.
