Our advice to readers is to buy the super collision damage waiver from the likes of Insurance4carhire or Icarhireinsurance, and let them deal with any subsequent disputes. Mark any damage on the rental form and get it signed before you drive off at the start of the rental. We also think the European Commission should look at strengthening consumer protection in cross-border disputes to protect car hire users."
