For the first time in my life I'm looking to hire a car and I've discovered it's an absolute minefield, with all sorts of different rates, cars and policies available. I've read lots of horror stories of how people have ended up paying hundreds of pounds more than they expected. I really am a dunce in this area so would appreciate any advice from OTF'ers if at all possible. I'm looking to hire a car in Inverness for a week in February, part of my annual winter walking holiday. What is the best thing, get the Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) insurance through the car hire company or get it through an independent broker? If I get it independently it costs £40 and I can get a car for £150 for the week. Going through the car hire company costs £250 - 300 for car hire with CDW.
My question is, just how comprehensive is the insurance through an independent broker?
