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 insurance is covered in your personal policy, not the temporary insurance that the rental company will offer you. The coverage in your insurance policy will cover any injuries to someone else, as well as any injuries you might acquire in an accident.
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.
With the price typically going from $10 to $20 in cost, this insurance would cover you in the event of a collision and keep you from paying hefty damage fees.
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.
