Am I Covered to Rent a Car?

You are here: Home / Auto / Am I Covered to Rent a Car?
Am I covered when I rent a car?  rental car insurance

When you rent a regular rental car, you get the same coverage that you have on your car with several things to consider. (Specialty vehicles like moving trucks, motorhomes, motorcycles, etc. may be different.)

Territory/Location

This applies in the policy territory. For most companies, this is the US, Canada, and US territories. So if you go to Mexico or Europe for example, you would need to get insurance from the rental company.

Coverages

If you have comprehensive and collision, these would apply with the same deductible as your policy. If you have liability only, you’d want to get coverage from the rental company even in the US. Rental companies may offer coverage with a lower deductible.

Loss of Use

Your own policy doesn’t cover Loss of Use. Loss of Use is if you have an accident, and the rental company can’t rent the car to someone else. They can charge you the rental fees for the rental car until the repair is complete. Your policy will cover the cost of repairs as noted above, but will not pay these additional rental fees in most cases. The coverage from the rental company usually includes loss of use coverage.

Conclusion

If you have comprehensive and collision coverage, you’re somewhere in your policy territory, and you’re comfortable without loss of use coverage, then, you don’t need rental coverage from the rental agency.

If you have other auto insurance questions, call an expert on our team at 813-425-1626. We would be happy to review your coverage, answer questions, and compare your current rates to our Think Safe Insurance carriers.

*This applies for most standard insurance policies. As always, you should check your policy packet for your policy specifics, especially if you aren’t insured through Think Safe Insurance carriers at this time.
