Whether it’s your first time renting a car or you’re a seasoned pro. Most rental car companies will offer a basic cover or no cover to get you though the door and then spring in to action with all the additional costs so you end up paying far more than quoted. 

What does my insurance need to cover?

Insurance policies come in all shapes and sizes. There really is no end to the amount of things you can cover. However consider what is not coverd:

• Does the policy cover your personal luggage NO 
• Does it cover damage to the engine, tyres, wheels, windows or mirrors NO
• Will it cover any towing costs, if needed NO
• Will it provide full cover if you lose your keys No 

These are just some points that basic cover won’t insure you for.
