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.
Read moreWe 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.
Read moreHonestly 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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
