Fly-drive Insurance

Hi

Car hire is included in my Florida package holiday.

It only comes with basic insurance.

We need Fully Comp insurance, which is an extra £105 for 7 days.

Is it cheaper to buy this extra insurance at the desk of the car hire company when we get to the USA?

Cheers
Dan

    The small print may say you have to buy their insurance, including insurance to cover the excess.

    often cheaper to just forget about that car and rent one through a broker, just make sure there are no extra charges if you dont pick up the car.

    Good brokers are carhire3000 , fifteen02.com going through a broker will give you all of the insurances you needed and probably a bigger car.
