Hidden costs of the car hire insurances
The charge for using a hired vehicle is only the first half of the story. That price may include a car hire insurance package for covering damage or loss of the vehicle along with the third party risks of causing damage, injury or death to others. The inclusively offered package is the other part of the story, the basic offer of them is so minimum that buying additional “top up” insurance is necessary for anyone.
The three basic coverage areas of most of the rental company’s are: a collision damage waiver, the basic level of third party cover and the coverage against the possible theft of the car or any of its parts.
The cover against third party claims does not usually include the expensive and prolonged medical treatment of suffering third parties, let alone the specific claims from their death. The Collision Damage Waiver is another source of confusion and disappointment for the hirers. Most of the time, the CDW includes a quite hefty excess, resulting in extra cost from the hirer.
Therefore, before considering any car hire excess insurance, the probable hidden cost has to be reminded.
