Like most insurance, an excess applies in the event of a claim.
To protect yourself against this, you could take out an excess insurance.
Below are links to insurance products that you can purchase which enable to you to claim back the excess in the event of an incident directly from the insurer.
If you rent a lot in a year then an annual policy might be more suitable which is normally not a lot more money.
Some policies even cover European hires.
In most cases, the insurance policy must be taken out before the hire commences.
