rip offs, plus you get plenty of additional travel insurance benefits too.
Whether it’s an accidental door dent, a little side scrape in the car park, or your entire car has been stolen, you can park your worries with TINZ.
You'll be reimbursed for your rental car excess (or cost of repairing the rental vehicle if this is cheaper) if your hire car is involved in an accident, is damaged, or stolen.
