Having rental car insurance is a crucial part of renting a car and not to be ignored. Car rental agreements differ widely from one car rental company to another and often cars can be rented without insurance. However, no insurance on a car hire or rental would not be recommended and it would be worth considering the risks of possible court awards of damages in the case of an automobile accident.
It is normal practice for a car rental agency to offer liability coverage on one of their rental cars. Many will include their own terms and conditions on their policies. It is of most importance to have knowledge of what is written in the insurance coverage given at a car rental company. Many car rental companies now include CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) in the price of the rental fee. Collision Damage Insurance covers damage to the rental car and limits the liability for damages to a vehicle on a rental contract.
It is not mandatory to make use of the insurance that is offered by the car rental company. It would be considered prudent to comparison shop for competitive rates and coverage from an independent insurance agency. An independent rental insurance policy usually covers any vehicle rented by the insured for the life of the policy and is often at a much lower rate with better coverage than insurance offered by the car rental company. If the renter has a credit card, normally the card company will offer a basic form of coverage to rental cars.
It is a good idea for anyone who uses a rental car on a usual basis to increase their regular car insurance coverage to include rentals. In addition to offering better coverage, it would save money as well. Instead of having a separate insurance company and/or policy exclusively for rental purposes, there would be one all-inclusive policy. Car insurance policies commonly include collision coverage for any damages to a car rented by the policy holder. Cautiously checking an existing car insurance policy to see what the coverage includes and if that coverage carries over to rental cars may negate the necessity of having to obtain different insurance at the time of rental.
