Thanks @northernlass; I’ll have a look at Bettersafe; the £2K excess was a bit of a shock, I’ve only really rented in the States before and never seen anything so large.

That’s odd, because in my experience rental companies repeatedly warn of this. An old cynic like myself believes rather than them making you aware for your benefit, it’s a sales tactic to frighten you into their zero excess insurance which is often expensive.
