How
it works
Excess cover is a voluntary insurance. Decline the van rental company’s Excess
cover at the counter when you collect the van. If the van is damaged or stolen,
the van rental company will charge your credit card for the Excess amount and
you then claim for full reimbursement on your Policy from insuremyvanhire.com.
We
insure the Policy Holder, not the rental vehicle. You will need to ensure that
your credit card has enough credit to cover the full excess amount at the time
of collecting the van, even if your credit card is never charged.

FAQs
Q:
Does my rental agreement already include insurance? A:
As you are hiring in the UK, the answer is Yes. Your rental agreement should include
cover for: Damage to the rental vehicle - known as CDW (Collision Damage Waiver)
or LDW (Loss Damage Waiver), Third Party Liability and Theft. There is almost
always an Excess (also known as Super CDW, the Deductible, or Non-Waiver) on the
CDW and Theft part of the rental agreement. This Excess is likely to range from
about £500 to £1,600. It is this Excess which is covered by our insurance Policies.
Q:
Will the van rental company block any money on my credit card when I have your
Excess insurance? A:
Each rental company will have their own policy and procedures on deposits. A number
of companies block a sum equal to the Excess on the credit card while others merely
take an imprint. Q:
Are other people travelling with me covered? A:
Yes, our policies cover the policyholder, who must always be the person renting
the vehicle, and all drivers named on the rental agreement, up to a maximum of
seven. Q:
Do you cover vehicles such as Camper Vans and Caravans? A:
No, we do not cover camper vans or caravans. We only cover commercial vehicles
up to 3.5tonnes in weight.
Q:
How does your Insurance work? A:
It is not necessary to show the Policy to the rental company. You simply decline
the rental company’s own Excess insurance at the counter. You will need to ensure
that your credit card has enough credit to cover the full excess amount at the
time of collecting the vehicle, even if your credit card is never charged. Any
charges for any damage or theft of the vehicle will be made to your credit card
by the rental company and you then claim for reimbursement against our policy.
Q:
What age range is covered by your Policies? A:
Our van rental excess insurance policies cover those aged 21-84 Q:
How do I make a Claim on my Excess Insurance? A:
You should contact our claims management company within 31 days to notify them
of the loss and request a Claim Form. Their contact details are contained in your
Policy document. You should then complete and submit the claim form, supported
by the documentation that is relevant in your case.; The
