Re: [OM] (Very OT) Rental Car Insurance, UK style

[Andrew Fildes]

Nothing. I got caught like that last year - quote around 450 squid for a month 
(Europcar) but standing at the counter at 3am after a 26 hour flight I opted 
for a few things like zero excess that sounded reasonable at the time (the 
excess being VERY high at about 1200 pounds) and ended up with a bill just over 
double that quote and a lot more than I expected. 
Car insurance in the UK is bloody expensive and complex for a start (compared 
to here) - then the car rental companies seem to practice 'competition by 
confusion'.
An unpleasant experience.
