Car Rental Insurance Provider of the Year – London, 2026
Founded by John Jansson, SimplyExcess was created to solve a familiar problem: car hire insurance that is confusing, expensive, and often sold under pressure at the rental desk. Drawing on long experience in the travel insurance sector, the company set out to offer a clearer alternative — fair pricing, straightforward cover, and simple claims. SimplyExcess specialises in standalone car hire excess insurance, allowing customers to decline costly rental-company upgrades while remaining fully protected. Policies are designed around real travel patterns, with inclusive weekly pricing, flexible single-trip options, and no hidden conditions. The company has built a reputation for transparent communication and practical support, helping travellers understand both their cover and the rental process itself. This customer-first approach has earned excellent independent reviews and steady growth in a competitive market. SimplyExcess continues to focus on clarity, value, and removing friction from the car rental experience.
