Did you know you could be liable for up to �1000 or more for any damage to a rental car even if it�s not your fault? Online insurance provider www.insurance4carhire.com is the only insurer offering complete peace of mind with the most comprehensive and competitively priced range of excess insurance policies for car rental that can benefit every car hirer.

While all car rental packages include Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) insurance, most will also have an excess or non-waiver amount, which is not covered by the LDW. In the event of an accident or the vehicle being stolen, this excess amount is charged directly to the customer and can be extortionate. Car hirers can pay, at the car rental counter, premium daily rates of up to �12 a day on top of car hire costs to protect themselves against this excess.

www.insurance4carhire.com offers a LDW Reimbursement Insurance which starts from just �49 for annual European cover and covers damage to the vehicle, theft excess and window and tyre damage. Renters are generally not aware that most car rental companies� excess insurance policies exclude window and tyre damage as well as damage to the undercarriage. In fact, the excess costs, which can be as high as �1,000 if the vehicle itself is damaged, can end up costing more than the actual car rental itself!

As most customers will only first become aware of excess charges when they arrive at the car rental counter and thousands of holidaymakers fall victim to the hidden repercussions of car hire insurance policies, a www.insurance4carhire.com policy provides reassurance and prevents the nasty surprise of an unexpected excess charge appearing unexpectedly on your credit card when you return.

Insurance4carhire.com is dedicated to ensuring your holiday is free from any unnecessary aggravation. For further info and for full product range details please visit www.insurance4carhire.com or call Insurance 4 Car Hire Agents Ltd on + 44 (0)20 7012 6300.

Note to Editors:

Insurance4carhire.com is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority Car rental companies� excess policies do not cover damage to windows, tyres or the undercarriage. Damage to windows, tyres and undercarriage represents 24% of www.insurance4carhire.com claims, therefore there is a likelihood of a 1 in 4 chance that a customer will have to pay the next time they have damage to a rental vehicle.

Some renters choose not to take excess insurance and risk incurring the excess charge because they are careful drivers. 28% of all insurance4carhire.com's claims were made on a vehicle that was unattended, thus damaged by a third party
