Car hire best kept secret

Aussie car hire companies are fleecing customers! Find out why you should go with a specialist rental vehicle excess company instead. 

• 
  Hiring a car? Don't get fleeced by rental company. There are several reasons why you might choose to get car hire excess insurance from a specialist company rather than at the rental depot...

  1. Cost savings

  When you're hiring a car it seems logical to pay the excess reduction fees. After all, who wants to be stuck with an enormous bill in the event of a smash? No thanks! However, the costly excess reduction fees offered by car hire companies can often drain your wallet faster than a leaky gas tank as they mark-up the excess reduction fees uneccessarily.

  
  You can easily save 50%* when you buy from specialist rental excess companies like ours. Major car hire companies like Avis, Budget and Thrifty charge a per-day rate of around $22 to $33 a day, but with us it can cost as little as $10 a day*.

• 2. Coverage

  Specialist rental excess companies typically offer more comprehensive coverage, this can give you peace of mind knowing that you're fully protected in the event of an accident. For example you can get cover for theft, overhead, water and underbody damage which you might not get at the depot.

  3. Pay nothing if you have an accident

  
  Don't pay more for less! For a fraction of the price of the rental companies, our policy reduces your rental car excess down to $0. That means you pay nothing if you have an accident. On the other hand, the majority of rental companies make you pay a motza to reduce your excess down to a few hundreds dollars. So despite those inflated fees you'll still have to pay in the event of an accident. That's Baaaney bonkers.

  4. Worldwide, flexible cover 

  
  It doesn’t matter if you’re hiring a car in Townsville or Timbuktu, we offer you the same great cover no matter where you are, as well, you can get flexible policies that allow you to add or remove coverage as needed during your trip. This can be especially helpful if your plans change unexpectedly. 

  5. All cars and all depots

  
  Whether you’re hiring a Ferrari or a VW Campervan, we cover you for all types of vehicles so long as they do not exceed 4.5 tonnes and no matter whether your car is hired from Avis or Budget, Thrifty or Europcar we really don't mind. So long as you've rented a car from a registered company you're in safe hands.

  6. Better customer service

  
  Specialist insurance providers often have dedicated customer service teams that are available to help you with any questions or issues you may have. This can be especially helpful if you need to make a claim while you're on the road. 
  
  In summary, purchasing car hire excess insurance from a specialist company can offer a more cost-effective, convenient and comprehensive solution compared to purchasing it at the rental depot.
