better value than the hire firm

Compared with the cover the car hire firm offered at the desk, this was considerably better value, and I'm not one to switch without good reason. I bought it online for our trip to the Algarve and the policy arrived promptly. Everything was set out plainly and I had no difficulty understanding what was covered, which I always appreciate in these matters.

cheapest of the lot

Honestly this was the cheapest of the three I looked at, and I went with them for our rental in Spain. Sign up was quick but the policy document took a few days to land in my inbox, so I had to chase it. Still good value for the cover.

Good value for the cover

Paid about half what the hire firm wanted for excess cover on our trip to Lanzarote, and the policy documents arrived in my inbox within the hour. Read through the small print first and it covers what I needed, so no complaints. Sorted for the next holiday too.

Needed cover for a last minute trip

I needed cover quickly because I'd booked a last minute trip to Dublin and forgot to sort it. Booked on my phone during my lunch break and got the confirmation straight away. Job done.

sorted my car hire cover

I bought their car hire excess cover for a trip to Cornwall and it was easy to set up. The paperwork came through by email and I printed it off for the rental desk. Everything went smoothly for us.

Sorted in minutes

Booked it the night before a city break and had the cover sorted before bed. Easy to do on my phone and the confirmation came straight away. Nothing to complain about, cheap and done.

Quick and cheap

The best bit was the price, cheaper than the car hire place by miles for the same cover on my Dublin trip. Signing up took about five minutes on my phone. The only thing was the confirmation email went to spam so I nearly missed it, but it turned up fine.

Simple and cheap, job done

Honestly the quickest bit of admin I've done all year, and I was sorting it at the airport. The cover is cheap for what it covers and the policy turned up in my email straight away. Would sort it again.

Quick and easy but one bit fiddly

The quote came back in seconds which was nice, didn't have to ring anyone. Only niggle was the payment page kept logging me out so I had to start it again twice, but once I got through it was fine and the cover was sorted for my trip to Ibiza next month.

Needed excess cover for hire van

I needed excess cover for a hire van when I moved a flat across town, because the van company wanted a large deposit. I know this area fairly well from past hires, and the cover here was straightforward and clearly worded. Paid online and had the documents in minutes.

My annual policy again

I've had their annual policy for my holidays for about eight years now, and I renew it every spring without much thought. This year I bought the upgraded version because we're going further afield. Renewal was smooth and the reminder email came through on time, so I've no complaints at all.

Better than the rental desk

Compared with the rental desk's own insurance this was a lot cheaper for what looked like the same cover, so I went with them for my trip to Italy. Buying was quick and easy and the policy showed up straight away. The only snag was that when I needed to change my return date the site made me ring up rather than doing it online, which was a bit of a faff.

Way cheaper than the car hire cover

Compared with the excess cover the hire company wanted, this was much cheaper for the same level of protection, and I've used rental insurance enough to know. I bought it online for a week's hire in Wales and the documents came through within minutes. The policy wording was clear and nothing caught me out.

Annual travel policy sorted

I bought their annual travel policy in March ahead of our trip to Portugal and it covered everything we needed. The cover details were laid out clearly on the site and when I rang with a question the lady on the phone was patient and took the time to explain. Renewal was simple too, and the documents arrived in my inbox within minutes of paying, which I appreciated greatly.

First time buying this

I'd never bought rental cover before so I needed something for my first trip abroad, a week in Spain with mates. The site explained the excess in plain English, which helped a lot. Quick to buy and the confirmation was instant.

Way cheaper than the desk

Compared to the excess waiver at the rental place this was miles cheaper, so I went with them for my week in Greece. Booking was dead quick and the cover kicked in straight away. Nothing to complain about, would sort it again.

needed cover for a rental car

We needed cover for a rental car on holiday because the company at the desk wanted a huge excess and I didn't fancy paying it. I found RentalCover online and the cover itself did what it said. The only thing I'd mention is that the policy document took a fair while to arrive and I spent a bit of time chasing the confirmation email before it turned up, which was a bit of a worry at the desk.

better than the desk option

Honestly RentalCover came out cheapest of the three I looked at, and it was the one I went with for our rental in Spain. I compared it with the comparison sites and the insurance offered at the rental desk, and the desk was far dearer for much the same cover. Buying was fine but the claim form for a small scrape later was longer than I expected and took a few days to get acknowledged.

renewed my cover again

I bought the annual travel cover again this year, as I've done for several years now. The renewal reminder came on time and the new documents were in my inbox the same day. Nothing has changed and that suits me fine.

Quick signup on the bus

The best bit was that I could finish the whole sign up on my phone in about four minutes while on the bus. Cover started the moment I paid. Really handy.

About RentalCover

RentalCover is an insurance provider that sells cover aimed at people who rent their homes, protecting tenants and landlords against the costs that a standard policy may not meet.

RentalCover serves private renters, landlords and letting agents who want straightforward protection without a long-term commitment.

Customers buy and manage their policies through the company's website, where they can view documents and make changes to their cover as their circumstances evolve. The brand is known for focusing on a single area of insurance rather than offering a broad range of general products.
