  • July is here and there is still time to book your car hire and car hire insurance

    consumer goods travel / tourism

    July and August are the busiest two months for holidays in the northern hemisphere. News has been released by Holiday Autos the long established car hire broker that car research they have carried out that in some countries prices have gone down from the 2010 highs. The cost of renting a car has risen exponentially over the past few years due to a number of factors, including the recession and recent natural disasters which have squeezed car manufacturers.

    The fastest fall in price in the Holiday Autos survey was Ireland where prices have dropped by up to 51 per cent. This is very good news for tourists as Ireland needs as many tourists it can get with it’s present economic situation.

    Any tourist wanting to take their own car or motorhome will find it is incredibly expensive with return fares by car ferry costing over £400 from Britain to Ireland, whereas a return crossing from Britain to France costs around £130. This means it makes sense to fly and hire a car when you take a holiday in Ireland.

    Other destinations that have shown a fall in rental prices have been Spanish resorts and Gibraltar, however hiring a car in France or Switzerland is still expensive.

    Insurance4carrental.com / jml insurance advertises car hire companies and car hire excess insurance companies. They are not a comparison site. Each advertiser has their own page and the visitor can then read through the information provided and choose the product they wish to buy.

    Holiday Autos, Economy Car hire and Carrentals.co.uk advertise car hire and there are a large number of car hire excess insurance providers advertising. It is often a lot cheaper to buy your car hire excess insurance in advance from an independent insurance company. If you are taking more than two weeks holiday, or renting a car two three times a year it makes sense to buy an annual policy from one of these independents.

    Insurance4carrental.com / jml Insurance promotes the following car hire excess insurance companies – Insurance4carhire, Questor Insurance, Worlwideinsure, Essential Travel, Odyssey, daily CDW/SLI, dailyexcess.com, iCarhireinsurance and Protectyourbubble.

    Any customer purchasing certain insurance4carhire.com or Questor Insurance via the dedicated links on the insurance4carrental.com / jml Insurance websites can currently benefit from discounted car hire excess insurance. The insurance4carhire.com Annual Europe 31 policy is being discounted from £49.00 to £39.20 and worldwide 31 from £65.00 to £52.00. Questor Insurance are continuing their 10 per cent discount till the end of 2011 and customers have to use the special discount code.

    Many people taking holidays are renting a Motorhome. Holiday Autos rents out motorhomes, and Questor Insurance and Worlwideinsure can provide motorhome excess insurance for Motorhomes which are advertised on the insurance4carrental.com site.

    Not everyone goes away on their summer holiday, other have to move home or stay at home carrying out DIY tasks and need to rent a van. Holiday Autos rents out vans and insuremyvanhire.com and iCarhireinsurance offer van hire excess insurance. Since Van hire excess insurance was introduced to the jml insurance sites nearly two years ago a vast number of insurance sales have been arranged. Naturally many people only need a van for a day or so, but the risks are high if you don’t have van hire excess insurance. Again it is cheaper to buy it from a specialist insurance provider rather than van hire company itself.

    Insurance4carrental.com recently started promoting a new product. This is for companies thinking of setting up a car hire company or looking for insurance for their car hire vehicles. Insurecarhire which is a trading name of Sky Insurance Services Group Ltd offers this service. There are numerous smaller self drive vehicle rental businesses in the UK and there is a simple “obtain a quote page” on the insurance4carrental.com site.

    Philip Suter of jml Property Services said. “It is still not too late to make bookings and arrange insurance, you must not forget your travel insurance and we promote a number of insurance companies including Staysure for the over 50’s, Direct Travel, Essential Travel, Simple and Quotezone.

    We are also involved with the self catering holiday homes business via our long established www.jmlvillas.com business”

  • Car hire excess insurance for Irish residents via insurance4carrental

    Submitted by philipsuter on 21.07.2011 13:27:45

    travel / tourism

    Insurance4carrental.com the online advertising promotion web site for providers of car hire excess insurance products like insurance4carhire.com, Questor insurance, Worldwideinsure.com, Icarhireinsurance.com and Odyssey car hire insurance are reminding potential customers in Ireland that these car hire excess insurance products can be bought online by residents in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, subject to the insurance provider’s terms and conditions.

    When someone rents a car the renter can greatly reduce the costs associated with hiring a car by independently obtaining cover for the excess for any damage to the vehicle. Buying a Collision Damage Waiver from the hire car company can still leave you with a bill of a thousand Euros or more if the car is damaged whilst you have the vehicle in your care, because of the insurance excess (the amount you must contribute if your car is damaged while you hire it).

    You can insure against paying this excess, but the cost can be high when taking out a policy through the car rental agency and these typically cost from €9.50 to €15.00 a day. Independent insurance providers are much cheaper at a daily rate of under €6 or even better value Annual policies for Europe, Worldwide, Canada and USA. Some insurance companies will also provide cover for drivers in the 75 to 85 year old category.

    For more information visit http://www.insurance4carrental.com/insurance4carental_Ireland.htm

    If you are a resident of Northern Ireland there are additional insurance companies advertising on the insurance4carrental.com site who sell car hire excess insurance, van hire excess insurance and motorhome excess insurance to residents in the UK

    Many of the car hire excess insurance companies advertising their products on the insurance4carrental.com site and other jml insurance and travel websites can also be purchased nearly anywhere in the world. This means if you are a resident of France, Germany, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand, USA etc you can buy this important insurance on your credit card in your local currency saving money by buying it from one of these independent companies.

  • Easter holiday car hire insurance reminder from Insurance4carrental.com

    Submitted by philipsuter on 02.06.2011 10:01:49

    travel / tourism

    As the Easter weekend starts on the 22nd April in 2011, the schools have already broken up as otherwise the Easter holiday would nearly run into the mid summer break. Schools will only be back a couple of days before another long bank holiday weekend in the UK. That is two on the trot with the Prince William Kate Middleton wedding on the 29th April and the May day bank holiday on the 2nd May.

    So if you are taking a break during this time and hiring a car or motorhome, don’t forget to buy your car / motorhome excess insurance in advance. It can work out a lot cheaper if you buy it online from a company advertising on the www.insurance4carrental.com website than from the rental company.

    There is a great selection of companies advertising and a daily policy starts from just £1.94. A couple of the companies advertising on the site insurance4carhire and Questor Insurance are running promotional discounted policies if they are purchased on line via insurance4carrental.com

    These extended bank holidays are also a great time to go and buy new furniture and as bargains can usually be found by shopping in out of town businesses that can deliver, but do not deliver all of their lines, then renting a van is the answer. You can hire a van with your family or friends and fill it up with your purchases of self assembly furniture or ready made and save a lot of money that way.

    As with renting a car or motorhome, buying the excess insurance online will save you money. Daily policies are from under £8 a day and a couple of companies advertise their products on the insurance4carrental.com site – insuremyvanhire.com and iCarhireinsurance.com

    The insurance4carrental.com site also promotes a lot of trave insurance companies including Direct Trave, Endsleigh, Staysure, Kinsure, Esssential Travel, JS , Simple and Quotezone and if you are looking for that car, motorhome or van to hire, insurance4carrental act as agents for Holiday Autos.

  • CChargepass.com for car hire renters in London added to Insurance4carrental.

    Submitted by philipsuter on 02.06.2011 09:59:55

    travel / tourism

    When tourists and business users hire a car in London there is often confusion about the London Congestion Charge. Do they have to pay, what areas does it cover, what happens if they don’t pay the charge etc? Car Rental drivers must pay the Charge and a company called CChargepass Ltd was established in 2010 by insurance4carhire founder Larry Dale Ursich to provide assistance to car renters who are either unaware of, or not familiar with, the Congestion Zone Charges in London. They make it easy for the general public and save them money by ensuring that they “never forget to pay”
    CChargepass was established based on Larry Dale Ursich’s in-depth knowledge of the car rental industry. He has noted that car renters, particularly those from outside the UK, are driving their rental vehicles into the London Congestion Charge Zone, often without being aware of the Zone’s existence or lacking sufficient information about how to pay the charge. Often, they incur substantial additional expense by incurring penalty charges and administration fees charged by the car rental companies.
    Looking at these difficulties, Larry has now entered into partnership with a leading mobile phone SMS text messaging company to set up a system which will allow CChargepass.com to manage payment of the charge on behalf of renters using text messaging.
    Using their services the renter need never again worry or become confused about the Congestion Charge and the fear of incurring steep fines and additional car rental administration charges to add significantly to the cost of their trip.
    Philip Suter of jml Property Services the company that runs the car hire excess insurance marketing site www.insurance4carrental.com said ”We had been working with Larry for many years going back to 2004 when we started to promote the company he founded insurance4carhire.com.”
    “He contacted me in the autumn of 2010 to say that his new company was up and running and would we be interested in promoting it? We added the details in March this year to the insurance4carrental site plus links from our self catering holiday rental sites jmlvillas.com and englishcottagerental.com. It looks like another winner that Larry has created”
    It works by the customer paying a one-off Annual Registration Fee of £15. This Registration Fee covers their reminder and administration services for one year, no matter how many times he / she visit London CChargepass.com will send the customer a daily SMS text message during the car rental period asking if he/she has entered, or will enter, the Congestion Zone.
    If the renter replies with their registered PIN, CChargepass will charge the client’s credit card and pay the Charge on their behalf. They will receive confirmation of payment by SMS text and email. If the client has not entered the Zone, there will be no need to reply and CChargepass.com will take no action

  • Summer vacations are on their way time to buy your car hire excess insurance

    Submitted by philipsuter on 02.06.2011 09:45:52

    travel / tourism

    Whether you are hiring a car for a couple of days or a couple of weeks you will usually find that you have to pay an additional amount for the “excess insurance”. It is usually much cheaper to buy this separately from a specialist insurance company than buying it when you book the hire car.

    At the moment two providers insurance4carhire.com and Questor Insurance have special discounted deals. They can only be found at certain websites and one of these is the www.insurance4carrental.com site. All a customer has to do is go to the insurance4carrental.com site, click on the specific insurance company advertiser’s page and follow the link to the insurance company’s own website. In the case of Questor there is a discount code to copy and paste.

    If you are taking more than one holiday a hire when you hire a car or your main holiday is in excess of 12 days it makes a lot of economical sense to buy an annual policy.

    Most specialist insurance companies have Daily, European or Worldwide policies available. A lot of people don’t know that if they lose the car keys, there is not another set 20kms away at the car hire reception. If you lose the car keys this can cost around GBP £250 for a replacement set. If the car renter had taken out car hire excess insurance this extra could have been included. This does not apply to all car hire insurance companies so it most important that the hirer checks this before buying if they require that cover.

    Apart from insurance4carhire.com and Questor Insurance, the insurance4carrental.com web site promotes car hire insurance products from Essential Travel, WorldwideInsure, Odyssey, ICarhireinsurance.com and ProtectYourBubble.

    This summer is a time when people will be watching their costs. A really great way to save money is to hire a Motorhome. You can arrange Motorhome hire (and of course car and van hire) via Holiday Autos at the insurance4carrental.com site. jml Property Services have been working with Holiday Autos for a number of years now. Taking a holiday in a Motorhome means that you have the feedom to travel around and stay where you want to. If the weather is really good and you want to stay an extra day in a particular location then you just stay. Most sites have power, washing facilities so you can charge up your batteries and the vehicle’s at the same time.

    When you rent a Motorhome, like with hiring a car you will need to take out excess insurance. Questor Insurance and WorlwideInsure both offer Motorhome / Campervan hire excess insurance products via the insurance4carrental.com site.

    If your passport is about to expire, now that we are in the busy season, do make sure that you apply early for any renewals and check the expiry date of every member of the family as well.
    There are also over six “compare” the car hire insurance product sites on the web and most likely by the end of 2011could be more.

  • Travel Industry Needs to Act to Avoid Repeat of 2010 Volcanic Ash Crisis

    Submitted by asap_press on 30.05.2011 17:44:22

    travel / tourism

    Increased communication between travellers and companies over travel delays is needed, says online comparator Carrentals.co.uk

    25 May 2011 – As volcanic ash once again threatens to hurl UK travellers into a vortex of confusion and despair, the internet’s leader in rental car rate comparisons is urging travel companies to get their policies regarding cancellations and delays in order to avoid a repeat of the 2010 volcanic ash crisis.

    Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: “Thousands of travellers from the UK has their travel plans ruined by the volcanic ash clouds from Iceland last year. These historic disruptions affected everything from hire car bookings to hotel rooms and onward transport tickets. Most people complained that the airlines and insurance companies had no clear policy concerning their dilemma and left them hanging in limbo.”

    Recently, Which? Magazine reported that many of the travel victims of the 2010 volcanic ash cloud had yet to receive any information on their status of their insurance claims over lost travel because of opaque interpretations over policy rules and major backlog pileups.

    Gareth Robinson continued: “Our firm truly believes the various sectors of the travel industry need to come together and form a coherent compensation policy for their customers in the case of a natural disaster like the Iceland volcanic eruption. When customers phone in to an airline or booking company for answers, the staff need to be prepared with reliable information.”

    The online comparator Carrentals.co.uk wants its customers to know they can go to the website and speak directly with a representative if they have any questions about their car hire bookings. Just visit the website’s help section to get the answers you need.

    Carrentals.co.uk is the internet’s leading rental rate comparison website, displaying offers from as many as 50 global rental firms, such as Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Holiday Autos and Sixt, in more than 15,000 locations across the world.
