Subject: Is a rental car covered by my insurance?

Getting into an accident and needing extensive body work done is never fun – especially because it means you’ll be without transportation for a while. While you could rely on public transportation, a rental car is a more convenient way to stay mobile while your vehicle is in the shop.

A common question many people have is whether a rental car is covered by their insurance. If you weren’t at fault for the accident, it’s generally relatively easy to have the at-fault insurance company cover the cost of a rental car that is comparable to the vehicle that was in the accident. If you were the one at fault, or the at-fault insurance company is putting off making a decision on reimbursement, then it’s time to turn to your own insurance policy.

Knowing Your Policy

With most insurance policies, a rental car isn’t automatically included. Generally, you will have to add on or look for a policy that includes a rental reimbursement, which is available from most insurance carriers and tends to be relatively inexpensive. We recommend taking a look at your policy before you need to use it to make sure that it has the coverage you’ll need.
