* Our car hire excess insurance comparison is updated annually. This table was last updated on the 7th August 2026 and based on quotes obtained directly from each competitor's website for a rental at Malaga airport from 10th August to 17th August 2026 for a mid-sized SUV (e.g. Nissan Qashqai or CUPRA Formentor) ** Based on the maximum 20% loyalty discount available to Cedar Tree Plus members, in most cases Cedar Tree Plus loyalty discount will vary between 15% and 20%, see Plus benefits for more information.
For example, if your excess with the car rental company was €750, and you damaged your rental vehicle, you would pay the rental company €750, and they would pay the remaining cost of the claim. You would then claim back the €750 you paid, from Cedar Tree. If you had alternatively taken the car rental company cover your excess would have been reduced to €0 saving you the hassle of paying and reclaiming.
Unlimited trips for a year covering up to £7,500 of excess across the policy duration.
Worldwide cover for up to 94 days per rental.
Cover up to 10 main drivers who can independently travel and hire a car.
Cover will automatically extend to named drivers you add to your Car Hire Agreement.

Reviews
Great value for money and so easy to use the website.
Excellent value for my annual jaunt away to Italy. I've used Cedar Tree for my travel insurance for a number of years now, thankfully never needed to claim, but have the security of the cover. Easy to complete the on-line application for my travel cover, being offered three different levels. Then prompt issue of cover documents on their website. Easy and a secure App for my mobile phone as well
Grace was efficient and clear in her guidance and resolved my issue swiftly and successfully.
Excellent service, very helpful
Easy to fill in . Good value
Have used Cedar Tree consistently for the last 10 years since my partner was diagnosed with Huntingtons Disease. They still offer competitive cover and premiums and make travelling with serious illness a pleasure we can still enjoy

Excellent service. No issues, will come back
So far so good haven’t had to use the insurance so I can’t review fully on the whole process.
So quick and easy to do was done and dusted in about 15 mins
