Annual Car Hire Excess Insurance

Here are just a few reasons why an Annual Car Hire Excess Insurance Policy can save you time and money:

• If you hire cars for more than 17 days in a year - in almost all cases the cost will be less than separate short term policies
• Annual policies can offer flexibility to allow you to extend your rental period without buying a new policy
• You won't have the worry that you might forget to buy a policy

Anyone who is hiring for more than two weeks a year should consider an annual policy - the tipping point when it comes to price is about 17 days.
