A very prompt reply from customers support
A very prompt reply from customers support concerning a problem with my renewal. The renewal fee was immediately refunded. I didn't take advantage of your services during the last year. Surely, I will come back in the future.

A fair and reasonable response to a genuine oversight!
I arranged my policy last year in haste before leaving for USA. Yesterday after a few days away I checked email and found my policy had automatically renewed and referring to the renewal invitation message which I had deleted unread. I sent a message to explain that I had not intended to renew because of health issues. Today I had a very sympathetic message to tell me the policy had been cancelled and a refund issued. What a pleasure to deal with such a fair company!
I am a Trustee of a local charity which recently suffered the opposite of this experience and suffered a severe financial loss

I highly commend Cover4Rentals
I highly commend Cover4Rentals, following the Which? recommendation. I’ve never needed to make a claim before and was gutted when I had a little bump on my hire car in Germany. But the claim was settled without problems as quickly as possible. It was a challenge having to lay out a large sum to the hire company but thankfully the payment was made before my credit card bill had to be paid. Thank you Cover4Rentals for taking the stress of my shoulders! One tip - make sure you have all your paperwork - keep the rental documents and claim altogether which will make the process of uploading much more straightforward. The system is very user friendly (says someone in their 70s!) as long as you have the necessary to hand. Thanks again!
