Find out the difference between single trip and annual car hire excess insurance.
Although there are differences in the levels of cover (more on that below), but the key difference is that with a single trip policy, you’ll have to take out a new policy every time you get a new car rental agreement.
Annual car hire excess insurance policies, on the other hand, allow you to cover your excess for up to 60 days at a time as many times as you like over the course of 12 months. You won’t need to take out more than one policy - just pay once and you’re covered for the year.
Level of cover
Our single trip and annual car excess insurance policies offer slightly different levels of protection. It's therefore important you check the policy cover before you buy to ensure you have the correct cover in place for you car hire adventure.
