17 h. ago The simple car hire hack that saves travellers £610 this summer

As thousands head off on their summer holidays, many will want to hire a car to explore the local area.

This is often more than the cost to hire the car itself. Gigasure says that purchasing a separate standalone policy saves travellers hundreds of pounds and is urging travellers not to get caught out by car hire companies.
