Do you really need to buy insurance when you rent a car? 🚗🤔 The answer: it depends.
Before you stand at the rental counter, here are 3 things to check:
• Your Personal Auto Policy: Your car insurance may extend coverage to a rental. Call your insurer to confirm exactly what is covered.
• Credit Card Protections: Certain credit cards offer rental car coverage if you pay for the rental using that card.
• Liability vs. Damage: Keep in mind that liability coverage and physical damage coverage for the rental car are not the same thing.
Figure out your coverage before you reach the counter—it’s much better than finding out after an accident!
