Minibus Hire Excess Insurance
Insure the excess when you hire a Minibus.
When hiring a minibus the hirer is responsible for damage to the the hired minibus up to a limit known as the Excess. The amount of damage that you are responsible for will depend on the minibus, which company you rented from, your age, driving experience etc. The damage you are responsible for will include but not limited to accidental damage, malicious damage, theft, damage caused by another vehicle, chipped windscreens, tyres, loss of keys etc.
When you buy Questor's Minibus Hire Insurance you will save money compared to purchasing the Excess Waiver offered by the Minibus Hire Company and we are confident that our product offers wider cover for the price paid.
