We have a second home in France so travel there a lot (as well as other travel - we home exchange so travel abroad a lot). The typical excess when hiring a car in Europe is ~€1,000 and insurance to eliminate that excess is as much as €13 per day. The above policy is an annual policy covering multiple car hire rentals of up to 31 days duration each. We had the worldwide cover last year as we travelled to the Caribbean on a home exchange for three weeks - plus our trips to France.

For us, the policy has been good value for money.

thanks for the clarification - I can see how someone in your position can see some real benefit it taking out the policy.

But relating to a fortnights car hire in the US (as the OP is doing), its ceratinly a different kettle of fish :beer:

We used Insurance4carhire too (with Quidco cashback too!) before we bought a car in the US and have our own insurance now.
Enterprise are always good for us, free 2nd driver too. Used Dollar once and had problems with the car and someone had left a soda cup under the seats & we found it rolling around there, luckily I hadn't put my bag on the floor in the back like I usually do!

Enventually found Netflights were the cheapest for us and booked through them - it's with Thrifty (which I assume they will use Dollar anyway as their US affiliate)

Thanks for all your help and advice

Dollar and Thrifty are owned by the same company, but in our experience have different desks even at the same airport.
