When renting a car the rental company will apply an excess being the amount that you are responsible for in the event that the rented vehicle is damaged during the rental period. The excess is normally applied irrespective of how the damage is caused.
The Rental Company will normally try and sell you an Excess Waiver which removes the excess on the rental agreement. Our experience is that the Excess Waiver can vary in cost up to around €20 per day and may have gaps in cover compared to the products sold by us.
No, excess insurance is not compulsory. It is advisable to consider whether you can afford to pay any charges you may be liable for in the event of damage to or theft of the vehicle. By covering your excess with an excess insurance policy, these charges may be reimbursed to you. Excess insurance is there to give you peace of mind that, should an incident occur, you will be covered.
Yes! Tyres, windscreens and key cover are all included in our car hire excess insurance policies.
This is a reimbursement insurance which means you have to suffer a loss first, that is, pay the excess / cost for damages to the rental company, then claim back on this policy to reimburse you the costs paid out (up to the cover limit as displayed on your Certificate of Insurance).
We offer a number of optional extras to tailor your policy to meet specific requirements, please note the amount of cover is shown on your certificate of insurance.
- Dual lead driver - Allows two persons to rent cars independently of each other.
- Extended rental cover - Allows any single rental up to 62 days
- Battery Failure - Covers the cost of replacing the vehicle battery.
- CDW - increases the maximum amount of cover to €75,000, useful if renting in North America
The maximum amount payable in the period of insurance as shown in your certificate of insurance. Once the annual aggregate limit is exhausted this policy is automatically cancelled and you are then liable for all and any future excess payments as defined in your main insurance policy.
The policy covers 5 additional drivers so long as the rental agreement is the name of the policyholder. For our annual policy you can add or delete drivers as required free of charge. Please note after the policy incepts we are unable to amend the Lead Driver.
The claims process is dependent on the cooperation of the rental company in providing the supporting documentation required for the claim. Please register a claim with Orchard Administration within one calendar month. Once the claim has been registered, please provide the claim handlers with the supporting documentation requested. Once all of the required documents have been provided, the reimbursement is made within 5 working days.
You must notify the claim handlers within one calendar month of the end of the hire agreement. For claims details, please refer to either your policy document or Certificate of Insurance and contact the claims handlers in the time frame specified.
