It's certainly worth shopping around. In my case, quotes are for return to Invoice - maximum payout is £10K. Dealer - £300 for 3 years, £400 for 4 years. On line, £186 for 5 years. The sales manager didn't seem surprised that I declined the insurance when collecting the car yesterday; I...

I'll be hiring a number of cars over the next few months for various reasons and wondered if any members can recommend a decent provider of CDW insurance, rather than take out the extortionate CDW fees the hire providers offer? Thanks Sean
