Say you’re on vacation and you need to rent a car. You’ve researched prices and figured out which car you want to rent. You’re feeling good about your decision. But now the person at the car rental counter tells you it’s dangerous and costly to skip out on their #RentalCarInsurance. Should you do it?
Hi there! I’m Amanda Mushro with AutoInsurance.com. On average, you can spend an extra $30 to $60 dollars a day in rental car insurance fees, but if you already have car insurance, there’s a good chance you don’t need to spend that extra money.
In today’s video, we’ll talk about the difference between rental car reimbursement coverage and rental car insurance, when you do or don’t need additional coverage, and finally, when your credit card could come in handy.
There’s a lot to cover before you get the keys to your rental car– so let’s get started.
