Re: Car rental in the UK
insurance4carhire.com specialise in insuring hire drivers around the world and much much cheaper than a rental company. I got insurance for £59 that covers me for 60 consecutive days at a time - and many times per year. I'm covered for US/Canada and all of Europe.
From their FAQs:
