Equity RedstarCar Hire Insurance
Car hire insurance can be very confusing. You can very easily end up spending a fortune at car rental desks, or find yourself with a huge excess bill at the end of your holiday after a small chip to the windscreen of your hire car. In fact, with many policies not covering the most vulnerable parts of the car, you could easily get hit with both! But it need not be that way…
Our Excess Europe and Excess Worldwide annual policies are significantly cheaper and more comprehensive than those sold at car rental desks. With prices starting from just £39.99 and £59.99 respectively, it aims to help you save money.
