Insurance can play a big part in helping you decide which car rental company you want to book with, and most times you'll need to know how much insurance will cost before you place your booking. This is understandable since sometimes the cost for the insurance is almost as much as the car itself!

If you've ever tried to figure out your quote inclusive of the Excess Reduction Insurance (ER), you'll know this is a hard task. Suppliers generally won't include this in quotes and it's quite difficult to get pricing for most rentals. The reason they won't quote for the insurance as it's something you have to sign up for on the day. They like to talk you through your options first and let you read their contracts before you add it onto your quote.

While this is fair, it's sometimes annoying if you need to know beforehand how much your rental will add up to. Below we've concocted a table of all suppliers and their fees per day for the ER, so you don't have to call every company in order to get a straight answer. While we can't supply copies of each contract, at least you can factor in the correct amount for your rental.
