Looking at websites, its crazy how much they charge for extra insurance?
Can anyone suggest a good car rental company based in NI? I am travelling to Belfast for 3 days with kids.

As an example I rented a vehicle in January with Budget at Belfast Int through a broker. A decent rate for 4 days but wanted £1000 for excess. Best suggestion is to purchase either a single or annual excess policy which should cover you. Book it before you go not as an added extra to the rental as it will work out more expensive.0

Cover yourself for £2 per day; https://bettersafe.com/car-hire-excess-insurance-category.html
Though you'll need a credit card with the prerequisite credit amount available, in order to cover the excess deposit initially.0
