Why Gigasure?
expand_more expand_lessRenting a car, either in the UK or abroad, often comes with high excess payments and expensive insurance from rental companies. Our service provides a valuable solution by protecting customers from costly fees.
Unlike many rental agency policies that have excesses over £500, and sometimes as high as £2000, we offer coverage at a rate significantly lower than the standard £9 daily rate charged for rental company excess insurance. Additionally, our coverage includes damage to tyres, windows, roof and undercarriage - key areas often excluded.
For rentals in the USA, Canada, Caribbean, Central and South America, customers can also purchase our Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for full protection with no excess or deductible. This is accepted at all rental locations worldwide and can provide savings compared to excess insurance bought at the counter.
In summary, our service saves customers money while providing comprehensive protection from expensive excess payments and rental insurance when hiring cars anywhere in the world. We make renting worry-free.
