Hire Car Excess Insurance for old Vehicle - phildelaney
Hi,

I hope someone really can help me with this.

I am hiring a beautiful 1960's VW Camper van to go over the Isle of Wight in. Only thing is the excess on the van is high and I want to take out Excess insurance (to cover the excess)......... only one problem though, it seems all the companies out there will not cover a vehicle of this age? I'm not sure why?

Anyway, does anyone please know where I can get this cover for this type of age vehicle...... please!!!!!!!!!

Many thanks,

--
Phil

Companies covering classic vehicles may be able to help, but it's odd that the insurance company covering the vehicle don't offer this, as you'd have thought it was an easy up-sell for the owners.

Try Adrian Flux or Footman James.

Try insurance4carhire.com - they will give you a daily rate or an annual one - £49 for Europe for a year. Also I have used Peart brokers in Kendal who are classic car insurance specialists.
