Hertz Rental via Autoeurope & SLI

[SandLake]

Anytime I look on the Hertz UK website all I see is 2 weeks for at least £1000 but I managed to snag a Range Rover (or similar) just over a month ago for £645. Andy was cheaper but it was for an Intermediate SUV - I decided to stick with Hertz.

My rental states that Liability Insurance Supplement is included but it doesn't state anywhere how much it covers - but as I have shown at MCO it covers $1-2M. I have asked Hertz for clarification.

I did find a Car Hire Excess insurance that additionally provides CDW (covers $100,000) and SLI (for $1,000,000) for £55 for 2 weeks - carhireexcess

Hertz have replied

See more...

Be careful as I read from the site that as £3.99 a day only includes CDW, cover with SLI ($1M) is £6.99 a day, link

Apologies, I had to dig to find that but you are correct - as I say, I find car rental to be a minefield!


Thanks

Just back from a trip to Miami, had a free rental but needed to cover all other insurances. I purchased an additional Bettersafe policy just to be doubly sure I was covered, thankfully everything went smooth as clockwork. I booked 2 Hertz rentals on the .Ie site for next October before I left, on the assumption I could use the Bettersafe policy for one of those too, wow am I pleased I did, those rates have now rocketed, dates are not perfect but I’ll be working my trip around car hire not the other way until rates drop (if they ever do)

Bettersafe is 1 million
