Car hire without the 'extras'. - Dave N
Any idea how I get a quote (online preferably) for a few days car hire without all the extras, as I get these as standard on my Amex card.

www.carrentals.co.uk should have something. They compare pretty much every car hire site i think so could be worth a shot.

Also try moneysupermarket.co.uk and also gocompare.co.uk. I found the latter not very competitive - I went for car insurance and they didn't even list my present and very cheap insurer in their results.

Would the "extras" include the excess if you write off a car? I ask as that happened to me last year - HGV into the back of the hire car. Luckily I hired with Holiday Autos wit the extra cover (£9/day and cheaper by far than the hire company itself?). I had to pay the hire company their excess (and that was reduced via Holiday Autos anyway) and quite quickly HA paid me back in full.

I'd use them again... well I might not drive abroad for a bit after that experience but would recommend them. Also got a discount because of who I work for.
