Reduce My Excess cover
Completing this form was simple and quick. We hired a car for a single trip and the cost of this insurance was very competitive. It also gave us piece of mind whilst driving.

Good price but it's not until you make a claim that you find out how good a company is. So I hope I never have to make that judgement.

A joke
Renewal email went to spam, so the policy auto renewed without me knowing.
They will not let you cancel over the phone, you have to fill in an online form. After that they never get back to you and keep your money.

Hi Andrew,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear that you’re unhappy with your experience.

We can confirm we received your cancellation request on Friday 19th June. As we are closed over the weekend, we advise that we respond within two working days.
The matter has now been resolved and confirmation has been sent to you via email.
