I'm looking up collision damage waver insurance as well at the moment and http://www.insurance4carhire.com doesn't seem to cover Irish residents. From their websire - "Our policies are currently only available to persons resident in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy or the Netherlands. We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause."Get the minimum insurance from car hire company and get a policy from http://www.insurance4carhire.com (or similar). Car hire insurance from the hire company generally cover very little (even with super super CDW).

Emailed them earlier and they replied saying from July 1st they no longer sell to residents of ROI, no reason given. Very strange!Thats weird! They used to allow purchase in Ireland as I bought a policy two months ago. I wonder what changed.....

So if I write off the car the claim is for a new car minus 1,000 about €22,000 to payThe first 1,000 of any claim you have.
Actually sterling, I don't follow your logic.So if I write off the car the claim is for a new car minus 1,000 about €22,000 to pay
taking out excess insurance is generally cheaper than taking the hire company's own super-policy, but the downside is the hire company will make you inspect the car before allowing you to drive it away, which could take a while if the hire desk is a long way from the carpark and you have to go there and come back. they'll want to inspect it when you hand it back as well.
with the super-policy you're covered for anything so they just give you the keys, and you can drop the car off and dash at the end.
There is also the issue that they will make you pay up and make you claim from your insurance, certainly in Spain that is the case, they don't recognise any other insurance.
Yeah, that's the way all excess insurance policies I've seen work. You have to pay up to the car-hire company, then initiate a claim with your excess insurance company once you get back. They've include wording along the lines of they 'operate on a pay and reclaim' basis.
