Car Rental companies usually offer more comprehensive insurance options at an additional cost. This is typically relatively expensive, and there are much better options in the form of third-party insurance.
As a car rental company, we have car insurance that allows us to hire them to you. This comes at a cost, where our insurance company puts a $2,500 excess on the policy. So if you cause damage, you'll need to pay the first $2,500 of the repair. It's a lot of money. Our insurer also doesn't cover a bunch of things, like flat tyres and towing costs, so we need to pass those costs on to you, our customer.
Third-party car rental insurance with RentalCover.com brings the cost of these things down to $0, and it generally only costs a few dollars per day. This gives you peace of mind, knowing you're covered if anything goes wrong.
Absolutely, you can bring your own insurance, that's no trouble at all. Many travel insurance packages will include some cover for your rental car while you're travelling.
RentalCover.com is a third-party insurer that can help you minimise the risk of renting a car while you're travelling.
Whether you're hiring from us, or from someone else, you should seriously consider additional car insurance from RentalCover.com.
