How are we so much cheaper?

While our cover is generally more comprehensive than that of a car hire company, our cover requires you to pay the excess if you damage your rental car and reclaim it from us. Car hire company cover, while significantly more expensive, offers more convenience as if you damage your rental car there is no excess to pay.

For example, if your excess with the car rental company was €750 and you damaged your rental vehicle, you would pay the rental company €750 and they would pay the remaining cost of the claim. You would then claim back the €750 you paid, from CoverForYou. If you had alternatively taken the car rental company cover your excess would have been reduced to €0 saving you the hassle of paying and reclaiming.

£10,000

Excess Cover

Unlimited trips for a year covering up to £10,000 of excess across the policy duration.

62 Days

Trip Duration

Worldwide cover for up to 62 days per rental.

2

Easy to deal. Web pages laid out well and convenient to navigate. Renewal price was a good deal compared to comparison websites and I was given plenty of notice for automatic renewal on our annual policy. Keep up the good work!

We used Cover for you last year and we didn't need to claim but I felt assured we we're looked after. We have just booked to go again in June and have chosen the same Cover we did last year. We booked directly through them and had an app to download and we even got a discount. Hopefully we won't need to use it again but if we did I feel like they will be a great company to deal with.

Will use again. StarStarStarStarStar

My call was answered by a very polite and competent person. Needing some clarification from the medical officer about a condition, this was sought and a ring back made within an hour, so the renewal of my policy was quickly completed. You were a very efficient team. Thank you
