Car hire - separate insurance

[shayne66]

Have a hire car booked with Sixt whilst in Australia. What separate hire car insurance companies do people use ?.

Questor. Cheap. Have claimed in the past and easy process

I have used icarhireinsurance for many years now. I have an annual worldwide policy that I will be using for Australia next year.

Never had to claim though so don’t know what they are like in that respect.

Looking at Rental Cover for a days rental in Alaska next year as they only provide very basic insurance and I need more SLI.

Second this, I've claimed twice, you pay the hire firm on your own credit card and the money was in my account before credit card payment was due.

Questor and have never had to claim

I deliberately say this as I have hired cars from airport rentals with less than stellar reps who have made utterly zero effort to fleece me on return knowing I have this indemnity

Before discovering this sort of cover renting a car on holiday was something of an adventure........

Went with Questor. Seems to be highly recommended on here and elsewhere.

Having had a look, then I think I will also be using them in July for a hire car in Alaska where the cover provided looks to be virtually nil!
