Moneymaxim.co.uk Reports Car Hire Insurance Comparisons [Travel & Leisure Close – Up]

Moneymaxim.co.uk, a UK comparison service for car hire insurance, is gearing itself up for its busiest season ever.

According to a release, Moneymaxim.co.uk's panel has been further enhanced by the recent addition of Direct Car Excess Insurance. The company, part of the AIG group, launched its car hire insurance policies earlier this year, complimenting their existing Travel Insurance range. This brings the number of companies offered through Moneymaxim.co.uk to 11.

Over the past 12 months most of the companies offered through the site have enhanced the benefits offered on their policies. Whilst all policies cover the tyres and windscreens, which are almost always excluded from rental firms cover, features such as lost keys, misfuelling or enhanced breakdown cover have been added by some insurers, with many increasing the maximum excess cover. European policies now cover excesses up to GBP5,000, and Worldwide GBP50,000.

A Worldwide Excess Policy starts from as little as GBP1.98 a day.

Mark Bower, Managing Director of Moneymaxim.co.uk, said: "Since we launched our market leading service in 2010 more and more consumers are switching on to the idea that they no longer have to accept a second rate product at sky high rates from their car rental company - there are real alternatives available.

"As we approach the busy summer booking period we have updated our service to cover even more car hire insurance companies, which, combined with our great deals on car hire, makes moneymaxim.co.uk the stand out destination for busy travellers looking to make savings on their bookings.

"Our search engine cuts the car hire and car hire insurance process down from hours to just minutes with prices and features from over 130 policies (up from 96 a year ago) compared in about 60 seconds."

The moneymaxim.co.uk car hire excess insurance comparison service compares prices from the following companies: Carhireexcess, Direct Car Excess Insurance, icarhireinsurance.com, insurance4carhire.com, insuremycarhire.com, intasure.com, protectmybubble.com, Questor Insurance, Travel Excess and worldwideinsure.com
