Virgin Car Hire Insurance
Looking for some advice. Booked fully inclusive insurance with Virgin. Received email from Virgin today recommending we upgrade insurance to fully inclusive package as we only have basic car package. All paperwork says fully inclusive insurance. Anyone experienced anything like this before? Thank you in advance.

Never heard of this before. Have you booked a 'holiday' or a 'flydrive' or just straight car hire?
The first two dont come with fully inclusive insurance unless you have upgraded it. Does your invoice detail the finer points?

Exactly right. However although VA car hire only is silly prices for part of this year I have consistently found them cheaper than Brits for the last 8 years at least, so maybe 24 rentals?
April 17 VA by a long way Aug 17 and Oct 17 Brits by a long way Seems VA hire is off the boil, sad.

My brother has also received an email from Virgin Holidays asking him to upgrade his insurance as he only has 3rd party. Have used Virgin loads of times before and never had this, always fully inclusive insurance included. I have done a dummy booking for the same dates and the price is exactly the same showing fully inclusive insurance included. I have not checked his paperwork, will do that tomorrow but it must be an error. The car hire was booked completely separate from his flights so not part of a package.

Thank you for all your help and information. I phoned Virgin to clarify the situation and it appears to be an automatically generated email. They confirmed that we have fully inclusive insurance. Phew! One thing less to worry about.
