Did you know that all car hire companies apply an excess of between €900 and €2,500, which you are liable to pay if the vehicle is damaged?
If damage occurs, the hire company can deduct this amount directly from your credit card.
Because you’ve signed the terms and conditions, they are legally permitted to do this without needing your further consent.
When collecting your hire vehicle, it’s important to inspect it thoroughly and note any existing damage.
The hire company decides the amount to be charged — and many people only become aware of this after the deduction has been made.
The solution? Purchase a single-trip or annual Car Hire Excess Policy, available through our website at Clear Insurance Ireland.
