Brilliant Customer Service
These guys were great, I booked a van policy and when I got to the rental place I had to swap out to a car. I messaged ReduceMyExcess asking if I could swap the policy. They responded saying they couldn't swap the policy but as I'd bought an annual car policy for a later rental they have refunded the van policy IN FULL. I did not expect that but was very pleasantly surprised. Absolute top marks for going above and beyond. Thank you.
