So you just bought a car, it is common knowledge that when you purchase a car you must also purchase car insurance. What about for rental cars? Does your insurance cover that? What kind of insurance would you need for a situation like that?
If you already have car insurance, there is a pretty good chance that you are covered if you needed to rent a car for a day or however long you would need it. Most insurance policies will offer the liability insurance needed for this instance.
This coverage will cover any injuries if there were to be any. This coverage will come from your personal policy and not the one that Rental Company will offer you. Just be sure to confirm with your insurance agent that this is included in your policy.
Just in case there is a collision, it would be smart to purchase the collision coverage offered by the rental company. The risk reward situation here makes it definitely worth protecting yourself. Just a few dollars can potentially save you thousands or more down the line.
This insurance will cost between $10 and $20 per day, but it will save you in the long run from having to pay for any damages accrued while you were driving the car.
If you don’t purchase the insurance from the rental company, you could get stuck paying for damages and repairs that may have been caused while you were driving the car. Usually your own insurance company will not pay for these expenses.
Another way to protect you from damage fees is to pay by credit card. There are some credit card companies that will offer theft or collision insurance in their services. However, you may want to double check with your company to make sure they do cover those.
This coverage however, will not cover any damages to you or other people involved.
