What is Excess Insurance?

When you hire a car, the rental price typically includes basic insurance, allowing you to drive off with the vehicle after receiving the keys. However, this basic insurance often comes with an ‘excess’. The excess is the amount you must pay out of pocket if the car is damaged, regardless of who is at fault, and the amount can vary between rental companies.

To mitigate these potential costs, many people opt to purchase excess insurance from the car hire company. This additional coverage is designed to handle most damages and accidents during your rental period. However, it's important to be aware that the excess insurance offered by car hire companies is both frequently priced well above its actual value and provides lower levels of cover.

ReduceMyExcess is different. It offers a far more affordable and flexible alternative with a broader scope of coverage compared to standard car hire excess policies. Many car hire excess policies feature exclusions or restrictions but ReduceMyExcess covers important areas typically overlooked such as tyres, windows, the undercarriage, and even lost keys. It also provides a higher excess limit. Unlike car hire policies that are valid on a per-rental basis, ReduceMyExcess also offers annual policies. This helps frequent renters save even more money by paying once and enjoying continuous coverage for an entire year across multiple hire cars.

What does Which? Best Buy mean for ReduceMyExcess?

Since Which? Best Buy endorsements are based solely on meticulous research, the Best Buy rating serves to reinforce and strengthen the trust of ReduceMyExcess customers. It also allows ReduceMyExcess to distinguish itself from car hire excess insurance companies and solidifies its authority in this space.

This recognition from Which? is a testament to the dedication of the ReduceMyExcess team, who work diligently to deliver exceptional value, service and comprehensive coverage to their customers.
