Maybe some of you can help me here with the fine print!
I'm hiring a car for our holiday in Florida in June. The cost of the car is fine, but it only seems to cover rental, I take it you buy additional insurance? I'm looking for a policy that basically means I pay nothing extra if we are in a crash or if anything happens the car. What I want to know is
1. What excess do car companies tend to charge if you DONT take out the insurance?
2. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for a policy with 0 excess?
3. How do I know that all eventualities are covered? (I have looked at FAQ's on websites and even emailed one company only to be told to check out the FAQ page!!).
My main worry is that I will book an car and insurance online and then be told at the desk that the insurance is not adequate and I will be hit for another bill as well. I'm trying to pay for as much essential expense as possible up front before we go.
If anyone can offer any advice here I would appreciate it. Thanks
