What is a car hire ‘excess’?

If you hire a car and it’s damaged or stolen, you’ll be responsible for paying a certain amount towards repairing or replacing it. This is called an ‘excess’. There is a limit to how much car hire excess you’ll need to pay and the rest of the claim will be covered by the hire company’s cover. 

Let’s say that a car hire agreement asks for an excess of £1,000, you have an accident and the price to repair the damage is £2,500. You’d need to pay the £1,000 excess fee and your rental firm would pay the remaining £1,500.
