Exclusions should be clearly stated in the terms and conditions, not in the FAQs. Would not recommend this policy as it does not cover the most likely times most people will need to pay an excess for a hire car - notably courtesy cars from garage or insurance company. This is not obvious from the terms and conditions.

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the cover. I have to disagree that our policy wording does not clearly confirm what our policy provides cover for. This is specified on the first page of the document. If cover is not suitable you can cancel if required. Please submit your request through our contact form and we can take a look at this for you - https://www.reducemyexcess.co.uk/contact.aspx Kind regards Rebecca

Simple to arrange and saves money over car hire firms arrangements

Easy and quick.

Great value, piece of mind with no need to worry about car hire excessive rates.

Easy and clear website

I travelled to France to view houses to buy. I rented a car, and thought I should have cover for the excess. I've used ReducMyExcess in the UK before, so used them. Only after I had already collected the hire car did I discover that the ReduceMyExcess policy was completely worthless - because France is not a safe country with respect to covid! I will never use this company again.

Hi Simon, Thank you for getting in touch. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy. This is completely incorrect - as standard our policy will not cover you in countries where the FCO have advised against travel. Our insurers have however agreed to honour cover in line with the FCO advice as long as the advice is specifically in line with Covid19. So there is no reason that cover would not have been valid for you in line with Covid19. Please see our FAQ's for more information regarding this. Kind regards Rebecca

Hi Rebecca/Dominic, Thank you for responding. Just to be clear, when you state Our insurers have however agreed to honour cover in line with the FCO advice as long as the advice is specifically in line with Covid19.", do you mean that cover does extend to countries which are not on the FCO "safe travel" list, as long as the reason for exclusion from that list is Covid19? If that is indeed the case, I will try to make a claim - and of course, if successful, turn my negative review into a very positive one. Best regards, Simon

Hi Rebecca, thank you so much for explaining that I really was covered after all! When I submitted a claim in respect of the excess charged by Sixt, ReduceMyExcess paid the claim in full within just a few days! I don’t know how to change the title of my review, although obviously I would like to, but I have given you the appropriate score of 5 stars.

Very easy to deal with.

This cover save's me hundreds of pounds a year on having to buy hire car excess insurance. It makes car hire affordable and the policy is easy to understand

Seems well explained straight forward policy. Could have highlighted GREEN MOTION not being covered. Made me wonder what else is NOT covered?

Clever ploy to ask for a review before you've made any sort of claim. The fact is that I don't know how good the product is but they took my money quickly and easily, a day may come whereby I find out if I got good value.

Your T&C are not clear what’s so ever with major rental companies not accepting the policy and still changing extra fees

Hi there, Thank you for getting in touch - I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy. If you would like to elaborate on what is not clear within our terms please send full details over via our contact form - https://www.reducemyexcess.co.uk/contact.aspx I can then look into this for you. There is no reason why our policy should not be accepted by the major rental companies. Kind regards Rebecca

Unfortunately had to cancel due to UK lockdown and was dealt with very quickly and fairly.

Quick and easy process, simple options for duration of cover, very pleased. Thank you.

It was a simple and easy to use purchase system.

Easy to purchase & reasonable cost - meant no hassle at rental desk which is a blessing but cannot comment on product as didn't need to claim.

Rate was easily the best obtained and would recommend ReduceMyExcesses.

Ausgezeichnet

Easy to buy, not used yet though

Very easy to set up and a very reasonable price, far better than the price the hire car companies charge, well worth getting.

everything was smooth, would be better to state up front that initial claims should be made through the car hire company and then claiming is done on Reduce my Excess
