FAQS: Insurance
June 17, 2008 1:59 pm FAQS- Can I purchase insurance cover for renting a van or truck?
Yes you can. There are a number of conditions to be met though. Firstly you must be 26 years or older, also you must have possessed a full clean license for a minimum of 2 years.
- Can I transfer over my own car insurance to a van or truck?
Usually yes you can. You should ask your insurance broker/company if they will allow you to do a temporary substitution (if you wish to use the hire vehicle while not using your car) or a temporary addition (if you wish to use the hire vehicle and your car at the same time).
Transferring your car insurance will usually allow you to use vehicles that can be driven on a car license although this does not hold for all insurance companies; typically low cost insurance policies will be more restrictive and costly for transfers. Some premium policies will enable you to arrange for a transfer free of cost.
Sometimes transfers will only be allowed if you are moving registered address, this is most common with low cost policies.
We will only accept own insurance cover from people with comprehensive motor cover, if you have third party you must buy insurance.
UK or NI insurance policies cannot be transferred onto our vehicles; if you are in possession of such a policy you must purchase insurance.
- How much does it cost to buy insurance from you?
We are very competitive on insurance prices. The cost varies across the type of vehicle being insured and the person who is hiring the van or truck. Typically it is not more than what it costs to do an insurance transfer. Feel free to contact us to discuss the specifics of insurance cost.
- Can I add more than one driver to a purchased insurance policy?
Yes, the person again must be over 26 years old and possess a full clean licence for a minimum of 2 years. There is a small charge for this additional cover.
- What are details of the cover you provide?
We provide comprehensive cover, it should be noted that there is an excess of €1600 on commercial vehicles, this means that if you damage the vehicle you are liable for the first €1600 of repair costs.
