The Post Office Holiday Car Hire Barometer revealed that car hire costs in seven out of 10 destinations in Europe rocketed when the costs of adding an extra driver and excess waiver transformer to use for travel in italy insurance (EWI) were included.
Although the cost of one week s basic car hire (£94.09) was cheapest transformer to use for travel in italy in Alicante in Spain, outdoing the US (£125.35), this was reversed when the two extras were included, bringing the costs to £177.18 for the US and £216.61 for Alicante. This is because car rental packages in the US automatically included EWI without charge.
However, Post Office head of travel money Andrew Brown argued that taking out basic car hire rental abroad can be a "false economy", as the survey revealed that excess charges can run into hundreds of pounds.
"Although many rental companies do not show the cost of Excess Waiver Insurance online, you can establish the price by calling them. There are also companies who will provide this cover before you leave home," added Mr Brown.
"The worst thing is to arrive in the car hire office at your destination to collect the car and find that you have the Hobson s Choice of paying for the Excess Waiver Insurance at a high price or choosing not to pay for it and risking the consequence of a much higher bill if you have an accident."
