Why buy a car hire excess insurance policy from CHEW?

The CHEW Insurance policies are well detailed offering a generous £7500 single incident claim limit and multiple claims totalling £10,000, comfortably above the excess levels set by most car hires. Vulnerable areas like tyres, wheels, windscreens and windows normally excluded from CDW policies are covered. They also cover the important areas of lost key, mis-fuelling and charges for recovery after an accident or breakdown. Personal accident cover is available as an optional extra.

What makse the CHEW Insurance policies slightly unusual in that they also include CDW Insurance cover as standard, so would still cover damage to your hire car even if it did not come with CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) cover as part of the hire package. However, do be aware that the cover is limited to £10,000 so unless you are hiring a very small and cheap car, the policy may not cover the full value of the car in the event of a write-off. In these instances consider full CDW policies offering £50k or more of cover.
