Learn How to Avoid Overpaying for Car Hire Coverage with New Site from Carrentals.co.uk
A video and information forum can help customers deal with confusion surrounding proper rental coverage.

SURREY, ENGLAND, July 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Nobody likes to pay for something they don't need, and this is often the case with car hire insurance. To help UK consumers avoid unnecessary expenses, popular online rate comparator Carrentals.co.uk has compiled the most common insurance concerns and given answers to them.

Research shows that nearly half of travellers who rent a car experience frustration with the pressure exerted on them by rental agents to buy coverage when they go to collect their rental car. Without the proper information, travellers may spend money they don't need to on extra coverage, which in some cases can be as much as GBP2,000 extra.

Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, says: "Ironically, most of the expensive extra coverage pushed on customers at the rental office doesn't even cover the most common problems like tyre and windscreen damage or the loss of keys. It's unfair that car hire firms try to upsell insurance to its own customers, so we decided to level the playing field by arming travellers with the information they really need."

Customers preparing to rent a car this summer can find out everything they need to know regarding proper levels of rental coverage on the new site from Carrentals.co.uk. The most frequent queries and their answers are listed at http://forum.carrentals.co.uk/collision-damage-waiver-excess-insurance, while a helpful new video lays it all out in easy to understand terms at http://www.carrentals.co.uk/extras/car-hire-insurance.

"It's only fair that you should know as much as the car hire agents do about proper car insurance," Gareth adds. "Our new video will set you up with the tools needed to choose the right coverage. In most cases, having a little extra cover is a wise move. We now offer our own insurance policy for our customers who want to make sure all the little details are covered but not duplicated."
