Insurance Charges
The prices shown on the other pages include standard insurance charges of £25 per day based on a "perfect driver".
Some owners have annual hire insurance cover which is relatively tolerant of the driver's record; most commonly the excess will be increased for a high-risk driver with little or no change to the premium.
Other owners buy daily insurance for each hire, and this has the following tarriff of surcharges.
If you send the detail listed on our Make an Enquiry page to the owner, they will be happy to give you a firm quotation.
