Should I Buy Rental Car Insurance?



Should I Buy Rental Car Insurance?

Rental car agencies have a menu of insurance policies they would like to sell you. While each policy could be of some benefit under the right circumstances, you should review each plan (its provisions, limitations, and exclusions) before making a purchase.

It is a good idea to request the detailed information from an agent at the rental office, as most companies only provide a summary on their Web sites.

Keep in mind; you may not need to buy this additional car insurance because you have auto insurance from your own car insurance company.

Generally speaking, when you rent a car, the liability coverage limits you have in your own auto insurance policy remain in effect with the same limits.

In addition, the comprehensive and collision coverages you have in your own auto insurance policy remain in effect with the same deductibles.

You do have comprehensive and collision coverage don't you? See our article, "How Much Car Insurance Should You Buy?" for a listing of coverage types and definitions.
