The Daily recently published an article advocating the purchase of 3rd party excess insurance when hiring a car. Customers were advised on the considerable savings possible when going down this route.
The article was written by Gill Charlton. She considered the monthly policy to represent the best value which covers up to 31 days at a time. The same policy could set car hire customers back as much as 18 euro per day if bought from a car hire company.
Charlton went on to say that most importantly, this insurance offers cover of up to two thousand pound for damage to tyres, windows and the underside of the vehicle which is something that can regularly be excluded in insurance policies offered by car hire companies.
Recent numbers from leading car hire companies have shown that many people have taken holidays early this year in order to escape the negative economic climate currently existing in Ireland and the UK.
