Argus Car Hire

To those who are in the know. I had an email from cheapflights this morning with this offer through Argus Car Hire. Is this too good to be true?

I'd say thats got to be a mis price or some other catch. Is any insurance included in that and who's the rental company?

Seen a few quotes like this today on kayak and Skyscanner.

Usually 2 insurance options, first is basic but the 2nd one looks like full insurance but puts the price up quite a bit. The basic one does not have 0 excess so if you have a bump there is quite a bit to pay.

Company is green motion.

Nissan Altima
29/07/19-19/08/19
�58.20 Cdw, theft waiver, basic third party liability, excess $100- $2000

Price jumps to �209.03 with more insurances and zero excess.

Still excellent for 3 weeks car hire.

Gotta be a catch somewhere. This is through Skyscanner.

Any reputable UK broker (including the one who may have already posted

) will include the full insurances that you need. Basically CDW and $1m SLI are a must and there will be no excesses.

About 99% of Dibbers will take the insurances included. The other 1% decide to take out their own. Have a bump with CDW included ring Alamo or similar and they'll bring to a new car. Have a bump with no CDW then prepare to have a large hold on your CC until blame is resolved.

Is basic TPI just the state minimum of $20k? Heaven forbid that you have an accident which is your fault and the third party ends up in hospital. $20k might just pay for a Band Aid and an overnight stay.

Argus car hire is basically cartrawler do your research and decide if you wish rent with them.

Just was checking dummy bookings. Virgin Atlantic Alamo best for my Oct 2019 planned booking. Thanks, but I�ll stay clear of them.
