Having tried to check around the terms and conditions, it clearly states that Collision Damage Waiver is included, but this still leaves you liable for £550 excess if you have an accident. You can buy optional 'Super Cover' for £98.70 a week to remove this excess.
However, I'm suspicious that there's no mention of the basic offer including Third Party liability or Theft cover? It's as if they're expecting you to drive it on your own car insurance - which is unlikely to cover hiring. Anyone else read it this way?
Think of the insurance as third party only.
If you get a puncture and the car needs a new tyre you will be charged for a tyre. In the event of an accident you can either pay the excess for a total loss, pay for repairs to the vehicle or rehire the damaged vehicle and repair it at your cost/time, if this worries you, take the super cover.
Other than that your on your own, i know super cover is expensive but it is added piece of mind.
In 5 weeks im renting a 30k Mercedes E-Class, the excess is £1500 and the super cover on staff rate is £60, i know what im choosing!HUKD Sucks!0 -
so is it safe to go with this even though the excess is £500???0
