This con has been going on for some time and the only way to avoid the risk is to take out insurance back home. I took out 12months cover for any additional claims and it cost me £44
The hire companies will take a deposit but you are fully protected if they do take any money and £44 is about the cost of a week or less extra cover from the car hire co's so well worth it.

I had the same problem last week and waited over an hour after arriving on the last flight
To add to the frustration I was pressurised to take the additional insurance as they claimed that I was mis advised when hiring and they wanted 84 euros for fully comp. I insisted that I didn't want it but the guy on the counter became more aggressive as I continued to say no and eventually he accepted but repeated said I would be chagrined 300 euros for any damage after he took a credit cards deposit.
I telephoned the booking company and my paperwork and they confirmed that I was insured with the exception of tyres and glass which is what I wanted.
Be careful as this is a total scam as they try to sell the something that you don't need and this is the second time the same individual has done this but on this occasion I declined. They are simply trying to earn commission and you must check before travelling what insurance you have
