Don't let unfortunate costs eat into your holiday budget when you hire a car this summer!

Having to pay an excess if you damage your hire car piles on the misery when your holiday has already been disrupted.

• Worldwide Excess starting from £3.70 per day, £49.99 annually
• Covers the policy holder and additional drivers
• Up to £300 cover per claim and £150 per single item for baggage stolen from your hire car
• Up to £500 per claim and £2,000 per year for lost or stolen car keys
