Worldwide Car Hire Excess Insurance Policy Documents

Where’s next on your travel list? Australia? New Zealand? India? With our worldwide car rental excess insurance, you can get out and explore just about every corner of the globe*. Our worldwide annual car excess policy covers you for up to 60 days at a time allowing you to plan some amazing road trips across countries and really see the best of what they have to offer.

Is someone close to you hiring a car and going off on an adventure of their own? Our Worldwide Family and Partners policy allows one another person to hire a car separately but still be insured in the same insurance4carhire.com policy. This policy is also a great money saver if you need to hire two cars while you're away.

Not only is it cheaper to insure with insurance4carhire compared with the excess waivers offered by car hire companies, we also offer cover for more scenarios. For example, our cover will reimburse you if damage is caused to the undercarriage of the car or if you put the wrong fuel in the tank. Car hire excess waivers do not normally cover these scenarios.
