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

Trip Duration

Worldwide cover for up to 62 days per rental.

It was easy to sign up for the policy and the price was good. I can’t comment on the claims process or customer service as I hope it’s purely for cover.

Graham Stout - November 11, 2025 - Single Trip Travel Insurance

Mikhala was super efficient and had people and customer service skills second to none. She immediately found my policy which I had only set up a few minutes prior and confirmed that she would post out my policy immediately as well as the email documentation which had already been recieved . Quote was extremely competitive and covered my health issues. Mikhala took away all the stress and made the transaction super smooth. This company will definitely be my goto insurance provider for future travel and holidays

Charlie was very helpful when I needed to purchase travel insurance. He explained the different levels of cover and when I was put on hold he offered to phone me back. He didn’t need to as I stayed on hold and didn’t have to wait too long.
