Hi,
I wanted to share some happy experience with icarhireinsurance.com.
At the moment, it's cheaper for me to rent a car when I need one, instead of owning one. I rent a car for a weekend perhaps two or three times a quarter, and instead of paying for the car rental company's supplemental liability insurance to reduce the high insurance excess (at a cost of £10 /day), I found a number of companies that sell insurance that cover this excess themselves, and bought an annual Europe policy for £40 from icarhireinsurance.
Like with many insurances, I hoped that I would never need to use it, but have it just in case that I did. Unfortunately, a hire car that I had at the beginning of the month got keyed all the way down one side of the car. My total liability to the rental car company was £700, so I paid the full amount and waited for the damage report to arrive. It eventually arrived yesterday and I contacted icarhireinsurance to make a claim. Thankfully, the website had an online claim facility so the claim, whilst fairly long, was relatively painless to complete. I'm happy to report that I received a reply today saying that I will receive the full £700 back (less than 24 hours after submitting the claim).
All in all, I'm very pleased with the service from icarhireinsurance.com and would recommend it to anyone that rents cars on a reasonably regular basis.
tl;dr I bought a third party car hire excess insurance policy with icarhireinsurance.com for £40 and it is going to pay out my full liability of £700. Very pleased.
