The cost of hiring another car while your vehicle is being repaired. We will pay up to £70 a day and £750 in total, as long as you are able to meet the conditions of the hire-car company, or

Option 3

We will pay for bed-and-breakfast costs of up to £40 for each person each day (£500 in total for everyone in your group) while your vehicle is being repaired, as long as you have already paid for your original accommodation and you can’t get your money back.
