Link to a forum : Rip-off car hire excesses!!

First comment from this forum :

"I've recently been on holiday to France. I thought i'd got a great deal with my car hire, but little did i know that there were no full excesses built into the price. I thought i'd bought a fully inclusive policy, but when i went to pick the car up i was offered an additional excess policy of £15.00 per day - over £100 extra for the week! I declined to take this thinking i had ample cover (and the benefits weren't properly outlined to me). However, i've since learned that if i'd have had a crash i would have been expected to pay over £600 excess or over £1000 if the car had been stolen. Has anyone had any bad experiences with car hire excesses and had to pay a lot of money out?"

Link to a forum : Car hire - refundable excess worth it or not?

First comment from this forum :

"Hi,

Have done a few quotes with various companies and have come across the option to have a refundable excess.

Can't find out much about this. Just says that local suppliers will often take a deposit from you on collection of car, to cover any damage. Therefore choosing this option will mean that you can get this back.

Does anyone know how much of a deposit they take?

It makes about £12 difference to the total. It's difficult to know whether it's worth bothering.

Can anyone offer any pearls of wisdom?"
