Cheaper than all other leading providers Excess reduced to zero If you are renting a van in the UK or Europe you are often liable for an excess of between Ł500 and Ł1500 if the van is damaged or stolen, even if it is not your fault.

Van hire excess insurance is available to reduce this, but the leading rental companies charge between Ł9 and Ł19 a day, and only reduce the excess to between Ł250 and Ł750.

Following the successful launch of iCarhireinsurance.com’s Car Hire Excess insurance in March 2010, and Car Club Excess Insurance in July 2010, iCarhireinsurance.com has launched a new Van Hire Excess Policy. The daily policy costs either Ł7.99 a day to reduce the excess to zero, or Ł6.99 to reduce the excess to Ł100. The policy includes;

• Ł2000 excess protection

• Works with any van rental company anywhere in Europe

• Up to 31 days continuous protection

• No distance from home restrictions

• Cover parts of the vehicle that are often excluded from other insurance policies - such as tyres, windscreen, roof and undercarriage.

• A low cost flat daily rate - No extra charge for larger vans.

• Also covers minibuses with up to 9 seats

Ernesto Suarez, CEO, www.iCarhireinsurance.com said, “Whether you're moving home, picking up a large new item of furniture or renovating your home, renting a van can be really useful and cost effective, but a small chip to the paintwork, even if its not your fault, and it is suddenly not such good value. Excess Insurance is available to protect you from this but most just reduce the excess. Why pay more to reduce your Van Hire excess when you can pay less to remove it completely with iCarhireinsurance.com.
