When Prosura provides these services, it does so on behalf of the insurer, Pacific, pursuant to a binding authority, as the agent of Pacific. Prosura does not act as your agent. Any advice provided by Prosura is general and does not take into account your objectives, financial situation or needs. Before making a decision please consider the Product Disclosure Statement and Financial Services Guide and the Target Market Determination. If you purchase a policy, Prosura receives a commission which is a percentage of your premium - ask us for more details.
The car hire company does not need to know about your policy for you to be eligible for cover. Prosura RVE Travel Insurance is underwritten by Pacific International Insurance Pty Ltd and is independent of car rental companies.
Rental company staff are often not familiar with independent rental vehicle excess insurance products and may also be incentivised to sell the rental company’s own excess reduction products and waivers.
