Vroom Vroom Car hire with Hertz

[VPS]

Hi - I know CDW is a minefield when it comes to car insurance.

I want to hire a car with Hertz in the UK through vroom vroom.

I've checked my PDS which I have through RAA and it gives me an $8000 excess http://www.raa.com.au/documents/raa-travel-insurance-pds as I have a premium insurance

I also have a Qantas Amex and Citibank Signature card and can't see anything about CDW in either of their PDS. Citibank doesn't give enough car for car rental excess and I can't even find anything about rental car excess in the Qantas Amex one.

This is the T&C for Hertz - will I be OK with just my RAA or do I need to take out extra insurance.

TIA for any advice

You might find your paid travel insurance policy also dips in for car insurance.

They usually offer to reduce the excess when you pick up the car (for a hefty fee). I pick my annual TI based on a number of parameters of which a main one is the vehicle excess on a hire car.

Best I could find this year was 1Cover at $6,000.
