Excess Insurance

I took out a car rental a few days ago but just realised my annual excess policy had expired. Will I be covered if I took out a new policy mid-way through my rental as I still have the car for another week. 
Thank you.

    So you've booked a hire car to start at a later date or you actually have the hire car right now?
  • Apologies for the delayed reply. I actually had the car already but I found out it was too late to take out a new policy.
