Great customer service
Very quick and helpful response to an urgent query I had about an unplanned and necessary date amendment to a booking I had made. The company was well within its rights not to allow the amendment but they showed great customer service in allowing me to make it due to sickness in the family.

Every body should know about this service.
I only found out about this service through moneysavingexpert.com and an article about rip off car hire companies. Literally 6 hours before picking my car up you managed to save me over £130 for 4 days. This is an amazing service , as with all insurance we should all aim not to claim but getting the right cover for the right price makes it the right choice for peace of mind.

Hi Safndee,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re really pleased to hear you found the cover easy to arrange and great value, especially at short notice. It’s fantastic to know we were able to help you save compared with the options at the hire desk. We appreciate your recommendation and your kind words.
Kind regards,

A definite must if hiring a car
Unf the windscreen of car I hired last year was hit by a stone and damaged so was in danger of losing my deposit. I made the best decision ever by taking out the policy and money the rental company took from my account was reimbursed within a few days. Highly recommended. Never hire a car without this cover - much cheaper than the hire firm ..
