Car hire excess insurance recommendations

hounslowfish

Hi all,

I'm looking for recommendations for car hire excess insurance providers.

Following the advice in this site:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/travel/cheap-car-hire
I've found lots of options and they are all cheap as chips. Hundreds of pounds less than the car hire firms charge.

Seems a little too good to be true. Can anyone recommend an insurer with a good track record for paying out?

Thanks!

We use Insurance4carhire - but have never needed to claim (long may it continue...) so no idea what they'd be like if we should need to.

I used someone called Questor, probably the cheapest for the cover I wanted but I didn't plan to crash so didn't look into whether they had a good track record of paying out. If you think it's likely you will need the payout (e.g. if you are going abroad and worry about dodgy firms trying to rip you off, not saying you will crash a lot!!) then whack the firms into the site below

I claimed exactly a year ago (on van hire excess).

Sent the claim form off with all the documents required. Payment received into my bank account within 3 weeks. Couldn't have asked for anything better.

The payment even came before the hire company had actually done the repair.
