Care hire excess insurance

Options
Hi,

I am considering buying annual insurance from icarhireinsurance.com, but I am not sure how much is covered.

The agreement with the car rental company states that it does not cover the undercarriage of the car at all. It seems like there is no 'excess', but rather the entire damage has to be paid for by the renter. Does icarehireinsurance cover this or should I look for something else?

Thanks

M

    Certainly some of the hire car excess policies do, you can only tell though by reading the policy itself.

    As you say, there is often the gap with ANY excess insurance of low value claims that fall below the excess value as these typically arent covered because technically the excess isnt paid. Again, read the wording BEFORE buying to make sure you understand what you are getting
