You will have to think about car rental insurance sometime in your life. It might be while your own car is in for a service, on a business trip or on an exotic holiday somewhere in the Caribbean. The sad reality is that you can’t escape it. There are three different types of car rental insurance you should know about. In this blog post we will cover them all.
Existing Car Policy: Check to see if your current car policy covers you if you rent out a car. Most comprehensive car insurances will cover you for accident, thefts or any injuries while using a rental car.
Coverage from Credit Card: Many credit cards will give you car rental coverage without any additional costs or for a low discount fee. Find out from your credit card company what their policy is on car rentals.
Insurance from Rental Agency: You can purchase car rental insurance from a rental agency while you are renting out the car. If you have neither of the above two options, then make sure that you get insurance from the rental agency.
Now that you know the difference between these car rental insurance types, you can pick the right insurance for you! Make sure that you special to an insurance expert if you are still confused or need advice.
