Abroad car rental insurance in Finland

Post by Alex.Sm » Sun May 25, 2014 10:30 pm

Hi,

I would like to know if there are any insurance companies here in Finland that offer the following service:

I want to travel with my family in Europe and we will rent a car, let's say in Paris. The car companies they offer collision insurance, theft and so forth. However, there is an excess fee you have to pay in case of something happens. The amount vary from 500€ - 2000€.

Now I wanted to know if there are any insurance companies here in Finland that can cover the excess amount in case something happens. The rental companies have this insurance where you can reduce the amount to 0 but is crazy expensive.

Kiitos!

You will not be able to find such a service anywhere here... The usual rule (applies to most EU countries) is that they insure only locally registered cars. When it comes to rentals it is even more improbable. What you can try is to order a car through some intermediary rental company (carrentals.com etc) they usually provide their own "full coverage" which is usually cheaper than the rates offered by major rental companies.
What do you want from me?????

I found this service offered by a company from UK: http://www.insurance4carhire.com/. Does anybody has experience with this? This looks very promising.

I actually found that you can also get something like this from Allianz Insurance and Falck is somehow partner:
