Does auto insurance cover a rental vehicle

If you are heading off for a much-deserved vacation and flying, you will most likely need a rental vehicle when you arrive at your destination. The questions of what kind of insurance you need to purchase and the amount of insurance is vital for your peace of mind. At NCIB Group Inc. in Chicago, IL, our agents have the answers you need. We put the needs of our customers first, and we go the extra mile to make sure your coverage is customized to your fitting. 

Not every auto policy will cover a rental vehicle. It depends on whether you have full coverage or you have basic coverage. Call your insurance agent and ask if you have any questions about exactly what kind of coverage you have. They will have the answer you need. 

Liability coverage is what you have if you have a basic policy. This means you won’t need to purchase additional liability coverage, but you may not have any coverage to protect the vehicle. One way to make up for that is to talk to your credit card company. You may have rental vehicle coverage as a perk of your card.

If you have any insurance that covers what you own, like home insurance, renters insurance, or condo insurance, you don’t need to purchase insurance to cover the theft of your property because you already have that. 

If you are concerned about the amount of coverage you may have, the CDW that the rental car company offers takes all the responsibility away from you. It does add a lot to the cost of your rental, but it also provides a lot of peace of mind.
