Am I covered for car hire on my policy?
Yes, if your car is damaged and undrivable due to a covered incident, 123.ie provides cover for car hire costs in certain situations. If your car is undrivable due to a covered incident, you may be able to claim up to €200 towards a hire car for any one incident.
