Very straightforward and easy to understand at each step of the process. The insurance quotes where inline and in sum cases lower that other insurance companies. However Cove4Rating had a higher rating and Which approved . 5 Star so far from me .

Autorenew is outrageous for such policies. No acknowledgement of my cancellation notice. This is heading for a complaint to the Ombudsman! Steer clear!

The website is easy to follow
The website is easy to follow. Knowing what you are covered for is simple and the price is way cheaper than the rental companies. Sixt wanted about £150 for 5 days. I dont even pay that for a years insurance on my car.

Inside and out, getting from the front door and the paperwork was quick as most of it had been done online before arrival, on returning the car Ron was brilliant getting all the checks done and having us on our way to the airport

Great, but you never know until you need to claim
This is the second year I have paid for an annual cover and thankfully have not had to use it. It’s easier to book and seems comprehensive and has stopped me being talked into hundreds of pounds worth of extra. Insurance is whenever I rent a car I have rented in the United States Canada three times in Turkey once in Portugal and twice in Spain during the last year‘s cover and never had an issue, of course the real value and the only way you can evaluate how good Insurance is is when you have to use it!
