Ultimately, whatever option you choose, results in the amount of a deposit which you would have to leave at the time of collecting your van.
Easihire will always take a payment to cover the insurance excess because it acts as a security deposit in case your hire vehicle is damaged or involved in an incident during your hire period. The excess is the portion of any insurance claim that you, as the renter, are responsible for. Therefore, by collecting this amount upfront, we ensure that if damage occurs, the amount can be recovered quickly and fairly. If the vehicle is returned without any new damage, this payment will be released in full, within 3 – 5 working days.
