With the holidays of Christmas and New Year almost upon us, it is important for those pondering even brief trips abroad to remember to take out car hire excess insurance and travel insurance.

Many people rent cars whilst overseas, and although most remember travel insurance it’s vital that car hire excess insurance is not disregarded, advises JML Insurance.

Airlines and car hire firms sometimes sell insurance as an extra, other times they can add them in unless specifically removed and may cost more than insurance sought from other sources.

Insurance for both travel and car hire can be much less expensive by purchasing annual policies, as single trip insurance can be costly.

JML Insurance’s Philip Suter explains that some car hire firms can try to pressurise customers into taking out insurance when they collect their vehicles.

JML acts as introducers for insurance4carhire.com and Questor insurance, which have entered this area of insurance recently.
