Happy Customer
Have used Icar for many years. Considerably cheaper than taking out at the point of rental and better cover. Just takes the hassle out of foreign car hire.

It does EXACTLY what it says it will.
Been a policy holder for almost 10 years. Much cheaper then the Rio off car hire offer. But at the back of my mind was always a doubt if the insurance would work if needed. Well this year I had a chance to find out. After a car rental charged my 700 euro for a scratch about 5mm in length.
I made a claim and it was paid in less than a week. Amazing!!
Just make sure you have before AND after photos.
