Good website that was clear and easy to use. Policy and instructions were the same.
Reasonable price.
So far, so good.
I suppose the test comes if I need to use the benefits of the policy...but, of course, I don't want to!

Fast and hassle-free claim process
Bought insurance from CarHireExcess for several years, but until recently never had a claim so couldn't comment on their services. Unfortunatelly, had an incident with a rented car recently and had to submit a claim to CarHireExcess. I submitted the claim online. After that, all the communication was over email.
They were very quick to come back and once I submitted all the supporting documentation, the claim was processed and reimbursment credited to my bank account in less than a week. Couldn't recommend their services more.

It is a great service to have for car hire because its a minefield that the best of times with car hire companies. Once I told them I was covered they left it at that. I would use them again.
