As recommended by MoneySavingExpert
The MSE site recommended Moneymaxim and the search gave clear prices with easy to use filters. I was able to choose a company whose policy also covered UK Courtesy Cars and Car Club Vehicles. The cheapest supplier offering this also happened to be the Which Overall Best Buy for Car Hire Excess Policies. And the price via MSE & Moneymaxim was about 8% cheaper than I had found elsewhere on the internet.

Good site with plenty of choice. Might be useful to be able to compare products side by side instead of one by one. Hopefully I made a good choice if I should need to use excess insurance.

We have a number of the leading Car Hire Excess Insurance Companies on our site and I'm delighted to say that we really can give you a very good comparison for Excess Insurance.
In regards to comparing the Car Hire Excess Insurance policies, if you hover over either the more information button or Quick Button for each policy, there is the opportunity to "Lock" the features of that policy and by doing so, you can then compare along side each other.
If we can assist you anyway either now or in the future, then please feel free to contact us and we will be delighted to see you assist further.

This is the second time that I have bought car access insurance through this website. It is such an easy way to avoid the high cost of additional insurance that is sold by hire car companies.
I am very satisfied.

Thanks for returning, and for purchasing your policy again from us.
Always worth running a comparison for this type of insurance via our site. We have a number of the Excess Insurers across the industry for this particular area, and with the change of Companies,features, prices which can happen over a course of a year, always worth seeing what the latest is, through just one quick enquiry.
Remember as well, many of the Car Hire Excess Insurance Policies on our site are also discounted , when you purchase via our site.
Please feel free to return again and you are also very welcome to review the many other services that we provide via the Moneymaxim Site.

Moneymaxim may be a straightforward comparison site, but it enabled me to get cover for about 30% less than I would have paid by going to the insurers own website directly. Success!

Quick to use and well explained. Prices shown more than competitive. I even phoned them to have some of the insurance phrases explained and again the help and explanations helped me decide on the appropriate car hire excess insurance for use in Australia. Would recommend.

Easy to find what you need at a good price.
Easy to find what you need at a good price. We usually buy rental car excess insurance at the same time as we book the car hire but this time it was so much more expensive than in the past. Looking online we found Moneymaxim & took out a policy with them at a sensible price. I definitely would recommend this company.

Thank you for your Recommendation.
We can provide you comparisons for both Car Hire and also for Car Hire Excess Insurance.All through one enquiry via our site, with the results then been displayed under two headings on the result page:
Car Hire Results and Insurance Results
Many of our customers book their Car Hire (turning down any additional insurances as offered by the Car Hire Company) and then buy their separate Car Hire Excess Insurance Policy. By doing so, this then provide a wider coverage of cover and also at a very competitive price.
This is all available via the Moneymaxim Website, but if you do ever need any further assistance at all, then we are just a telephone call away 0800 520 0699 option 3. We do very much look forward to being of a further assistance to you.

Hire care excess insurance
I used moneymaxim to compare hire car excess insurances for worldwide cover on a single trip or annual basis. This is not the first time I have done this and moneymaxim is my first port of call. Simple question structure, good range of providers and pretty good comparison engine. Could be a little more useful if you could set a couple of quotes alongside each other and look at the differences without having to switch back and forward. Overall though a very easy experience and I am happy with the cover I have taken out which was not the cheapest but the one that best suits my needs. I recommend moneymaxim as a comparison website.

Thank you your recommendation and feedback, really appreciated.
On our results page for each policy, if you hover over anyone of the buttons for that policy (More Information, Quick Buy or Buy Now), you will find on the left hand side of page a Lock facility.If you then click where it says Lock (this will then lock the features for that particular policy), you can then repeat this for each policy, which then provides you a comparable format for these.
Although, the fact you didn't see this, probably provides us further feedback, that this may need to be made clearer !!!
Once again, thank you for providing such informative feedback.
