17 Seater Minibus excess insurance

kelvinwebb

For the life of me I cannot find 17 seater minibus excess insurance anywhere. Does anyone know where I can get it?

Annoyingly I have booked a 15 seater but the company have now said that they don't actually have them and will give me a 17 seater!

Please help
Much appreciated

Hi Kelv,
We are in the same boat as you. We had booked a 15 seater couple of weeks back. Just found out today that the rental company can only provide us with a 17 seater instead and we are unable to find an excess policy for 17 seaters. (We are travelling tonight!) The company says that they will charge us 100% of the rental fee if we are to cancel now.
Did you eventually manage to get an excess for the 17 seater? How did you sort out the issue?
Thanks,
Nish

If you are travelling abroad you'll need to check you have the correct licence to drive a 17 seater (doesn't matter if less travelling) as some countries have different rules.
