About SimplyExcess

SimplyExcess is a leading provider of affordable car hire excess insurance in the UK, dedicated to making your car rental experience stress-free. We understand the common frustrations associated with rental car insurance, from hidden costs to complex terms. Our mission is to offer transparent, easy-to-understand policies that provide comprehensive protection without breaking the bank. With SimplyExcess, you can secure robust coverage in just a few clicks, leaving you free to enjoy your travels with complete peace of mind.

Comprehensive Car Hire Excess Cover

Our policies are specifically designed to cover the excess charges that often accompany standard car rental insurance. While rental companies provide basic coverage like Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection, they typically leave you liable for an excess fee, which can be substantial. SimplyExcess offers a smarter, more economical alternative, covering these excess costs and often extending to parts like tyres, windows, roof, and undercarriage that are frequently excluded by rental firms. We provide flexible options, from single-day cover to longer-term policies, ensuring you get the right protection for your needs.

How do I make a claim with SimplyExcess?

If your rental car is damaged, you will first pay the excess charge to the rental company. You can then submit a claim to SimplyExcess through our online claims process, providing the necessary documentation, and we will reimburse you up to your policy's cover limit.

Can I get cover for a loan car with SimplyExcess?
