Domestic Travel Insurance for Car Rental Excess

CalmLemons on 10/11/2022 - 21:11

Normally credit cards cover international travel rental car excess.

Domestically they do not.

Excess reduction with rental places is about $250-300, buying travel insurance for domestic is $150.

Excess is like $5000.

Any other ways around this?

Business travel policies do but likely doesnt help you.

I use these guys, https://www.carhireexcess.com.au/ and
had a hit and run during the covid lock down era and they paid me for the damage on prompt. No issues.

RAC do a car rental excess insurance policy (i.e. this particular option is for car hire only so not as expensive as proper travel insurance that has other extras)

Several ANZ credit cards include domestic rental car excess coverage.
