Excellent product and excellent value compared with foreign car-rental firms' equivalent policies. Much more reliable to deal with a UK-based insurance company than a foreign one in the sad event that... See more

Was recommended this insurance by a friend as car hire people charge extortionate price for extra insurance, especially in Italy. It is a great alternative and I have bought it ever since. I'm lucky t... See more

A policy that adds peace of mind when hiring cars in UK OR Europe without paying over the top premiums if reducing policy excess at car hire company. Excellent service easy to follow and understand.

I have been using insurance4carhire for many years. I have always found them helpful when needed. Can definitely recommend them if hiring a car abroad. Give you peace of mind.

We are existing customers with Swinton and tried them out for specific insurance for a hire car in Europe. They came up trump but hopefully we will not have to make any claims.

Easy to purchase the policy with immediate cover. I have had the same policy before but have not had to make a claim yet, thankfully, so am unable to comment on the claims process.

On the second time I used these we were unfortunate to have a bump in France. The excess on the claim was €1800 . I paid on credit card in France and submitted my claim on my return. Once I forwarded... See more

The 5* review is for the clarity and ease of renewal. I am however hopeful, from other reviews, that if we ever need to make a claim the process will just as painless.

You only know how good your insurance is when you come to use it with a claim, these guys are spot on, responsive, easy to deal with and fast to concluded. Really recommend

Sadly, I had to make a claim on my first policy, but I was told not to worry and it would be taken care of. And it was sorted out very quickly. I've been using Insurance4carhire for quite a few year... See more

Unusually, you price has remained the same as last year. Same cover and I certainly recommend you to our friends. Your costs are far lower than buying cover at the hire desk.

I've used Insurance4carhire and find them easy to deal with, very well priced and, when I had the misfortune to make a claim, they were totally fair and prompt.

Long time user to save on excess insurance. Typically premium for 12 months is less than hire car company insurance for 1 week.

Easy, competitive & relieves the stress of having to deal with the car hire desk pressure for extra insurance which is always a rip off!

I have used this company for many years and will happily continue to do so. Easy to use. Good prices. Efficient service. Friends that I recommended are also happy.

Received an email inviting me to renew my policy which included a link for that purpose. However the link did not work at all, and I had to use the chat line. Eventually after over an hour I managed t... See more

Very clear website. Excellent level of cover. Covers a courtesy car loaned to you which some others don’t appear to.

Their annual care excess insurance saves you a fortune on hire car point of sale policies - and actually pays out in the unlikely event of a claim.

Easy to navigate website and competitive price for excess cover for car hire. Never had to make a recent claim so unable to comment on this process

Like any insurance, the true test comes when you want to make a claim. From recommendation, I take comfort but hope I never have to make a claim.

Great Value and great service if you need it, in my personal experience. I never look any further for Car Hire Excess Cover.

Quick, easy, trusted service,no quibble payout, dealt with car rental company so I didn't need to. Highly recommend

Very easy to set up and at a reasonable price and it gave us peace of mind over the expensive excess of the car hire company

Value for money. Simple application, on line. Have used this service many times. Fortunately, have never needed to claim.

A great way to cover car hire excess instead of having to buy expensive car hire excess cover. Easy online process to purchase

I have used insurance4carhire for many years and have been impressed by their professionalism and speed to settle claims.

I found it all very straight forward and easy to follow. Great cover and the price is very reasonable. I have used this company for some time now and would highly recommend it.

Reasonably priced and no increase for the last two years. When a claim was made, paid out instantly with no quibble . Happy to have just renewed for another year.

Why are all companies becoming ‘online only’ instead of having a human voice. I needed help with a problem but trying to get a telephone number and a real person to talk to for advice was impossible.... See more

Easy to get cover and a new service that seems good value. I hope I don't have to claim, but great to know I have extra cover for car rentals in the coming year.

Very simple and quick to purchase car hire insurance and much cheaper than insurance taken out with hire company
