When it’s time to rent a car—whether for a vacation, a business trip, or after an unexpected accident—it’s completely normal to have questions about insurance coverage. Rental car situations can feel confusing, especially when you’re standing at the counter being asked to make quick decisions about coverage options.
Two of the most common questions we hear from customers are:
-
Do I need to purchase the insurance offered by the rental car company?
-
If I’m involved in a car accident and need a rental vehicle, will my existing insurance cover it?
Understanding the answers to these questions ahead of time can help you avoid unnecessary costs, feel confident about your coverage, and make informed decisions when renting a vehicle.
