I'd have paid it and it is good value provided you don't want to risk paying the £500 excess.

The number of times in 5 years working for a hire company that people said "Oh I'm only going a few miles I don't need the extra cover." only to find that the car was vandalised overnight or picked up a dent whilst parked at the supermarket for 10 minutes or had an uninsured Third Party hit them or just plain made a mistake because on their car the controls are laid out differently was huge.

And they all said the same things when returning the car.

"You're not going to charge me my excess for that little bit of damage are you?"

And we always had to tell them that yes we were.

The question in my mind was more how much that risk is worth. It seems to me that it's worth £5 if either a) I can't afford £500 right now or b) I expect in 100 car-hiring-incidents to damage the car (or have it damage for me) at least roughly once.
