Book Your Car Hire and Your Excess Insurance at the same time!
Why Clarify offers its customers car hire excess insurance policies you will not find elsewhere.
Did you know that you can also add an Optional Excess Protection Insurance when you book with most car hire companies through Clarify?
For many people the excess or security deposit is a worrying amount of money to risk losing. You can easily book a car hire with a lower excess or deposit by using our filter but those packages often come with a higher price. If you are able to put the security deposit on your credit card then Excess Protection Insurance is a great way of ensuring that, should you have to pay any out, you can claim it back. Our Excess Protection Insurance is supplied by one of the UK’s premium excess insurance providers.
Why we offer a wider range of car hire excess insurance than you will find elsewhere
When you book your car hire with Clarify, there are often a number of different packages available to you at your destination. Some of those, as discussed above, can remove the excess you are liable for, however, you are likely to still be liable for excluded areas such as the wheels, tyres and glass areas as well as misfuelling and towing charges. We automatically offer a version of the Excess Protection Insurance for these customers when they book which comes at a lower price as they do not need cover for any excess.
What are the advantages of taking out the Excess Protection Insurance when you book?
You don’t have to input the dates and times again as it has been set up to match your hire
You can pay for it all in one transaction
We can cover most UK and European residents
The excess insurance is tailored to your hire
You will receive one handy voucher with all the details you need regarding your car hire and your excess insurance
