When choosing your vehicle, you need to also consider the damage excess deposit, as this can vary from car to car and by supplier. This is, say GBP500, which they can charge you, for dents, scratches and so-on, deemed to have occurred whilst you were driving. Claims it "happened in a car park," fail to get anywhere.
So you have three choices of either paying the local insurance daily charge to, usually, reduce the amount to zero. Or, take the risk nothing happens, but stone chips can happen anytime. Or, get excess cover protection, who will re-imburse a charge on your card.

This insurance can be done during or after booking, but note this does not stop the car company holding money and debiting a claim from your card. So, the local insurance can vary and all is shown in each supplier terms.
Lastly, the other costs that can vary are extra drivers, GPS, baby seats etc., so best get an email quote for what suits and email us.
