Accidents happen, even when you’re not around.

A small scratch, a cracked windshield, or an unfortunate dent – these can all result in unexpected charges from your rental car company. Hepstar’s Car Hire Excess Insurance safeguards you from high excess fees and is ideal for residents and visitors to South Africa looking for reliable cover for their rental cars. 

Why Choose Car Hire Excess Insurance?

Affordable Coverage with Greater Value

Hepstar’s plans are more cost – effective than rental car waivers, delivering comprehensive protection without breaking the bank. Our cover includes accidental damage to windscreens, windows, tyres, and towing costs – expenses typically excluded by rental companies.

Comprehensive Support and Protection

We provide dedicated customer support for claims and inquiries, ensuring you have assistance whenever you need it. Additionally, our plan protects against theft or accidental damage to your baggage during your rental period.

  • Excess Reimbursement: Up to R15,000 with the Standard Plan, and up to R40,000 with the Premier Plan, for accidental damage or theft of the rental car.
