Financial Protection: Avoid high excess charges from rental companies with Gigasure’s Worldwide Car Hire Excess Insurance. Whether you're navigating the busy streets of the UK or winding roads abroad, our policy covers the excess costs for any damage to your rental vehicle, protecting you from unexpected expenses.

Reduced Expenses: Car rentals often come with higher excesses (you are responsible for the up to the excess amount for loss or damage to the vehicle) or in some countries such as the USA with no cover at all for loss or damage to the rented car. Cover for this can be bought from the rental company, however, this can be very costly. Our Worldwide Car Hire Excess insurance is available at a fraction of the cost, making it a budget-friendly solution. 

Travel with Peace of Mind: Travel stress-free with international car hire insurance that includes misfuelling, lockout, and key replacement cover. No matter where you are, you can focus on enjoying your trip without worrying about potential repair bills or unforeseen incidents. 

Flexible Coverage: Choose from Single-Trip policies (up to 31 days) or Annual Multi-Trip policies (up to 65 days), with the option to add additional drivers and customise your cover for your specific needs. 

Worldwide Coverage: With Worldwide Car Hire Excess Insurance, Gigasure ensures you’re covered in Europe, the USA, Canada, and beyond. Our global Car Hire Excess cover ensures you’ll always be protected, no matter where your travels take you.
