Insurance Cover
Comprehensive protection for your peace of mind while on the road.
At Senior Car and Van Hire, we prioritise your safety and peace of mind. That’s why all our rental vehicles come with fully comprehensive insurance as standard. This ensures you’re covered for most situations during your hire period. Whether you’re driving locally or planning a longer journey, our insurance policies are designed to provide the protection you need. For additional cover, such as for international travel, we offer tailored options to suit your requirements.
Fully Comprehensive Insurance
Our fully comprehensive insurance covers you for a wide range of scenarios, including accidental damage and third-party liability. This means that in the event of an accident, you’re protected against costs associated with damage to the vehicle or other parties. However, it’s important to note that certain exclusions may apply, such as damage caused by negligence or unauthorised drivers. Our team will provide you with full details of the policy when you book.
Optional Additional Cover
For added peace of mind, we offer optional insurance upgrades. These include reduced excess options, windscreen and tyre cover, and international travel insurance. If you’re planning to drive abroad, our international cover ensures you meet the legal requirements of your destination country. Speak to our team to discuss the additional cover options available and choose the one that best suits your needs.
What’s Not Covered
While our insurance provides extensive protection, there are some exclusions to be aware of. These include damage caused by reckless driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and using the vehicle for unauthorised purposes. Additionally, personal belongings left in the vehicle are not covered under the policy. We recommend reviewing the full terms and conditions of the insurance policy to ensure you understand what is and isn’t included.
