Car Hire Excess Waiver from Freedom Insurance Services
When hiring a car in the UK or abroad, many drivers are surprised by the significant excess charges that can apply if the vehicle is damaged, stolen or involved in an accident. This excess can often run into hundreds or even thousands of pounds, and that’s where CHEW comes in.
CHEW Insurance is a provider of Car Hire Excess Waiver Insurance, designed to help protect motorists from costly excess charges associated with car rental agreements. As a trading name of Freedom Insurance Services Ltd, CHEW combines specialist insurance expertise with over 20 years of experience supporting UK travellers and insurance customers.
Why choose CHEW?
Many car hire companies offer excess protection at the rental desk, often at a substantial additional daily cost. CHEW provides a clear and affordable alternative, allowing customers to arrange cover before they travel and avoid pressure to purchase expensive add-ons when collecting their vehicle.
Understand your cover ahead of time, avoid the hard sell at the rental desk and drive confidently knowing your excess is covered.
