* Our car hire excess insurance comparison is updated annually. This table was last updated on the 6th August 2025 and based on quotes obtained directly from each competitor's website for a rental at Alicante airport from 10th August to 17th August 2025 for a mid-sized hatchback (e.g. Seat Leon) ** Based on the maximum 20% loyalty discount available to Cedar Tree club members, in most cases Cedar Tree club loyalty discount will vary between 15% and 20%, see club 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 £10,000 of excess across the policy duration.
Worldwide cover for up to 62 days per rental.
Cover up to two main drivers who can independently travel and hire a car.
