Hello,
I've hired a motorhome for 4days next year, first time
Bit confused about the Insurance that I have to complete. I have two options either
Pay to reduce my excess from 1000 to 0 for insurable incidents. and £250excess for non-insurable damages- listing the likes of wing mirrors etc. Costing £129 to arrange.
If I opt to not pay for the wiaver, have to pay 250excess for non-insurables and £1000 insurable+£15 to arrange it.
Is there something I should purchase myself to cover me? so that If I go for option 2 and dont lose £1250.
I've found that hiring a vehicle is super cheap (4 days-£120 ) but is this how they get you,insurance add-ons?
