Very straightforward
Very straightforward to purchase the C4R excess waiver insurance and at a very competitive price. I cannot comment on the claims process as I haven't made a claim.

Cost effective peace of mind and great customer service
I had the misfortune of needing to make a claim to Cover4Rentals for damage to a hire car I rented while I was on holiday in Spain.
In the past I had taken the expensive full damage waiver the hire companies charge but I had read some positive reviews of the Cover4Rentals insurance policy and couldn't believe the reasonable price so I took the annual Gold cover.
The online claim process was very straightforward and simple, there's no catches and my claim was settled really quickly in full.
Thank you to the Cover4Rentals team for providing a great product and great service I fully recommend
