We booked our flights from ABZ to JNB and rtn for April/May 2018 (2-4-1 in CW).
A few months later we booked car hire with Avis through BAEC. After finding out the cost of "Super waiver for collision and theft" with Avis £225 for 22 days, I looked at other options. I have seen Insurance4carhire mentioned on this forum and the cost would be £59.99. Huge difference.
What I'd like to know, has anyone used Insurance4carhire and if they had to make a claim, especially whilst hiring in RSA, how "easy" was the process and would anyone recommend them?
Many thanks for any help.
You'll have to pay the excess out of your own pocket then claim it back from the Insurance4carhire, from what I heard process is painless and pretty straightforward.
Consider getting the Amex Travel insurance, which covers the car hire - single trip is likely to cost you around £100-200 depending where you go, plus it includes a generous travel inconvenience and medical insurances. Other options include getting the Amex Platinum which has this travel insurance included in the yearly fee.
