How are we so much cheaper?

While our cover is generally more comprehensive than that of a car hire company, our cover requires you to pay the excess if you damage your rental car and reclaim it from us. Car hire company cover, while significantly more expensive, offers more convenience as if you damage your rental car there is no excess to pay.

For example, if your excess with the car rental company was €750 and you damaged your rental vehicle, you would pay the rental company €750 and they would pay the remaining cost of the claim. You would then claim back the €750 you paid, from CoverForYou. If you had alternatively taken the car rental company cover your excess would have been reduced to €0 saving you the hassle of paying and reclaiming.

£10,000

Excess Cover

Unlimited trips for a year covering up to £10,000 of excess across the policy duration.

62 Days

Worldwide cover for up to 62 days per rental.

Nicky was very helpful, friendly and listened to what I had to say, which is very important !! As some sales people have a speel to complete and are not interested in deviating from it, Nicky was relaxed and friendly which put me at ease also I could understand what she was saying

Very easy to find and tailor policies to meet requirements. Also the follow up documentation is very good, and makes saving documents where required in case of need/emergency very easy. Overall, CoverForYou makes arranging insurance one of the easiest parts of arranging a multi-activity holiday.
