Very easy to take out this insurance
Very easy to take out this insurance.
Very cheap too.
Time will tell if, in the event of having to make a claim, it is as easy and quick as taking out this cover.

I will have a more fully formed view once I have used the product with the car hire company.

Quick efficient service
Very smooth easy process to claim back damages to my hire car in Latvia, be sure to have all relevant documents when making the claim. The cost of this insurance is very reasonable compared to the rates quoted by the hire car company, urge anyone to use this service.
Having never used (any) insurance before I was resigned to a lengthy process but was amazed that within 1week full compensation had been paid with great comms from start to finish.
