The main restrictions are as follows, but do refer to individual policies for the finer details:
Some policies only offer secondary cover - so you must ensure that you have primary cover included in your rental agreement - we always recommend double checking this before you get to the rental desk.
Policies are available for those between the ages of 21 and 85. However be aware that some car hire firms impose a requirement that younger drivers (up to the age of 25) take their own additional insurance - check this with your car rental firm if you are in this age group.
Rental periods must not be longer than the period detailed in your policy - for annual policies this is normally either 31 or 62 days. Single trip policies cover periods of up to 180 days.
Not valid for passenger vehicles with more than 9 seats (7 seats with some companies),commercial vans, camper vans, mobile homes or motor cycles, although separate policies are available covering Motorhome Hire Insurance and Van Hire excess.
Not normally valid for expensive or exotic cars (policies normally have a limit between US$50,000 and US$80,000) or older vehicles (that is vehicles over 20 years old).
Residents of the USA and Canada cannot be covered for an SLI policy and other non-UK residents may face restrictions too.
