Car Rental Insurance
Dear Sir,
My daughter was married here in the north of the island and 104 people came from the UK to celebrate the event. 28 people rented cars and all of them were under the illusion that they had already arranged a totally comprehensive insurance only to be confronted with the scare tactics surrounding extras which were not covered. The extra amounts paid were between €200 and €700 depending upon class of car and days of hire and left everybody with a feeling that they had been ripped off completely. I enclose a typical sheet which lists all the uncovered items such as clutch, engine, tow truck, lost rental days while the vehicle is being repaired amongst many others.
This is an absolutely disgraceful practice and is doing our island’s reputation irreparable harm and must be stopped.
