3 weeks Car Hire
We need for December 3 weeks car hire, and cost is damn hire, partly because of the EUR 120+ the companies want for the CDW. Any smart solutions for this - like an annual fee to an insurer for CDW upto say EUR 700 initial cover ?? Suggestions or pointers appreciated. Ant

Re: 3 weeks Car Hire
BigAnt - have you been able to find a company that will rent a car without paying the CDW? We have an annual excess policy so that has that covered, but I don't think I've ever seen a quote where the CDW is mentioned separately from the actual rate (or am I just blind?). We are here for 4 weeks and had the same problem when we were booking our car. Found very little benefit for getting a "long term" booking.

we used this one last time, they only took a print of are card for the CDW. did not take the money,
we spoke to a rep on the phone before booking to confirm there was no hidden extra's when we got there.
the web was www.Allincarhire.co.uk:)

Re: 3 weeks Car Hire
The following company gives the option of full inclusive insurance or not

They also appear to be very reasonable. I have used them. I had an air conditioned 4 door Hyundai Getz for 2 weeks in Aug for 270 euros (without CDW)
