annual car hire excess for Ireland and UK residents

Car hire annual excess insurance cover for Ireland residents

When you hire a car your rental agreement normally includes basic cover for Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft of the vehicle. However you are still liable for the Excess on CDW and Theft. In other words, if the rented car is damaged or stolen, you will be asked to pay a portion of the repair or replacement costs. This is known as the Excess and depending on the rental company this can be as much as €800.

If you are an Ireland resident renting a car abroad, our recommended policy will cover you not only for the total amount of Excess for which you would be liable for if the car is damaged or stolen, but also for damage to the roof and undercarriage of the car, and windows and tyres. This insurance is valid for car hire that you purchase providing you are over 150km from your normal place or residence.

Cheap car hire often includes basic insurance that is expensive to upgrade when you collect your car. Buying an annual car hire excess policy provide you with better cover, saves you money and is valid for multiple car rentals throughout the year.
