What Does Rental Car Insurance Cover and Not Cover?
Typically, rental car insurance can help give you liability coverage for the vehicle you borrow. This helps pay for injuries or damages you cause while driving. Your rental car company may also offer you a collision and loss damage waiver. This helps pay repair costs to the vehicle you rent after an accident.
On top of these coverages, rental insurance companies also offer personal effects coverage to help pay for your belongings if they’re stolen from your rented car. Keep in mind that some homeowners insurance policies can help cover items stolen while you’re away from your property. So, it’s a good idea to check your coverages before buying this insurance.
One last policy your rental car insurance company will likely offer is personal accident insurance. This helps pay for you or your passenger’s medical bills if you’re injured in an accident.
