“Be very careful , with the company rental cover. My application numbers are 40K1-LIPINS and WMV-3044-IS This is a fraudulent organization. I used her services twice. The first time they didn't want to pay insurance, they pretended that they couldn't transfer money to my card. I had to appeal to the Consumer Protection Society with a complaint in France. After that, rental cover immediately transferred the money. There was a second insurance case. They considered the application for two months, I provided them with all the documents. But they constantly pretended that they were missing something from the documents. As a result, the same situation AGAIN, they said they could not pay my insurance. Here's what they told me: "We understand that this may not be the result you expected. " You draw conclusions yourself, I will file a complaint against rental cover again. I do not recommend this insurance company.”

“Very poor service. Requested a cancellation via email as I couldn’t do it online, received no response up to now. Absolutely appalled. As I didn’t even need the insurance because the car rental was going to take hold of 2000 euros if I didn’t have the insurance with them & to top it off Hertz full protection was cheaper! So I’ve now paid double insurance. Ridiculous!”

“Beware this company is a scam, i hired a car in New Zealand and unfortunately a truck threw up a stone cracking the windscreen, when i approached the rental car company they told me they did not recognise Rentalcover .com as an insurance company and then asked for $2500 excess as i had no insurance with them, ended up replacing the windscreen at my cost, i can see from emails received i am wasting my time trying to get this cost refunded Keep Clear Folks”

“So many negative reviews must be interpreted as a giant RED FLAG. They are simply con artists. Do NOT trust or use any services offered by rentalcover. I wish I had the sense to go into this page before purchasing the "full coverage" scam they sold me. Do not throw away your money, they will disown you and make everything they can to avoid reimbursements”

“What a nightmare. Buyer beware, your car rental company may not accept this insurance and you'll end up having to pay double at the counter. There is no real customer service either. DO NOT BUY!”

“Don't use Rentalcover.com, they are a scam. I made a booking through Rentalcars.com, and subsequently cancelled. However, was still charged $120 from Rentalcover.com within minutes of the booking, despite cancelling. Rentalcars.com say you need to contact Rentalcover.com. Of course you cannot contact them other than via online email and they don't answer your question but send you some badly worded automated message and direct you back to Rentalcars.com. What a scam. Don't give up though, if enough of us continue to fight for justice, this lot can be put out of business.”

“Never give them your e-mail!! I have tried for a very long time to unsubscribe from the RentalCover mailing list - I simply cannot understand why their unsubscribe system does not work!!! Every time the same message: "You will no longer receive any e-mails from us". I have also sent an e-mail directly to "sales@rentalcover ... " - NO response. Therefore, my clear advise: If you do not like spam-mail, junk-mail, etc. NEVER EVER give them your e-mail address. You will regret it. They deserve ZERO stars.”

“Took out a policy in August 2019 to cover a vehicle rental as I was concerned about the number of exemptions in the hire company's rental agreement. I felt reassured that rentalcover.com's policy had very few exemptions. Unfortunately we were involved in life-threatening accident which led to the car being written off. Rentalcover.com's policy covered us up to $100,000 so we were initially relieved we had purchased additional insurance and their policy clearly covered our claim. This relief was short-lived. Rentalcover's communication was absolutely appalling. They took weeks to reply to emails. There was no contact number and they refused to provide one. They refused to speak directly with the hire company regarding the claim. They showed zero compassion or empathy. After 4 months they refused to pay the claim then proceeded to ignore us when the hire company started pursuing legal action against us. They essentially left us to fend for ourselves against the hire company because this wasn't a simple $500 excess claim. I eventually complained to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) who agreed that Rentalcover.com were responsible in full for the claim and also awarded us $2000 in non-financial losses. Even then it took over a month and multiple threats from the rental companies lawyers for them to pay even though they are bound by AFCA's determination to settle the claim. Do not trust this business, please use a reputable insurer!”

“This Insurance cover is a scam. I paid 65€ for a coverage that the rental car company was not agreed with. At the rental desk, they were not agreed with that insurance and I had the choice to take no insurance or a full insurance for 120€. I lost my money here - I highly not recommend that insurance coverage company - you paid for nothing. Brice from Belgium - 29/07/2020”

“I bought an insurance for a mobile home I rented and had an accident. Now I am trying to make a claim to Rentalcover but for some strange reason I cannot log in. The web site says that my email is invalid. That email address is the same as on the invoice from the company and insurance certificate, which were by the way both sent to that particular email address. Since the login is not working I have almost no way of contacting the company. No customer support(without logging in). There is a considerable amount at stake and I demand a reply.”

“I am so devastated by what happened when I booked my rental car online for a week in my hometown of Auckland .. when I completed the booking for a really cheap deal on a car, a window popped up about insurance and I purchased it thinking it was in addition to my deal with the rental company. When I completed the transaction another window popped up explaining it wasn’t part of the car rental company, but was RentalCover.com .. I contacted them by email immediately and requested an immediate refund and they declined me! They said I could have a credit. When I picked up my rental car today I had to buy another insurance policy with the company so as not to incur the $2,500 excess if I had an accident or incurred damage. In case of any incident I would have to pay the excess to the rental car company and then try to claim it from RentalCover.com, but I’m a beneficiary and have no money. I use a credit card but only ever have a few hundred dollars credit available so I can’t take that risk. I am so upset because I can’t afford two insurance policies and I think it’s dreadful of RentalCover.com not to refund me and to use trickery on the website in the first place! They should clearly state who they are but they don’t. I think they are dishonest doing this and they ruined what could have been a good experience. I’m back in Auckland to look after my 2 nieces who both have Downs Syndrome so now I have less credit available to use for them. Sad but I will still make sure my nieces are happy this week.”
