Will Your Auto Insurance Policy Cover You When Renting a Car?

Here at Bonvenuto Financial Group LLC, providing auto insurance in the greater Uniontown, OH region, our customers often have questions about their auto insurance policy and rental cars. You, too, may wonder if your car insurance policy will cover a rental car or if they need to purchase rental car coverage from the rental car provider. We are happy to assist you with the answers.

Will Your Auto Insurance Policy Cover You When Renting a Car?

Each and every auto insurance provider is different, and as such, it is hard to give a blanket statement on whether your car insurance policy will cover you when renting a car. As a general rule of thumb, if you carry liability, collision and comprehensive auto insurance, also known as full coverage, your policy will most likely cover a rental car. If you only carry liability insurance, your insurance policy will not likely cover a rental car unless you have a specific rental car endorsement. 

How Do You Know If Your Auto Insurance Policy Will Cover You When Renting a Car? 

The best way to find out if your car insurance will cover you when renting a car is to call your insurance company and ask. They can read through your policy and help you determine if your policy covers you while in a rental or whether you should purchase rental coverage from the company you are renting a vehicle through.
