Getting into an accident can be stressful, but it shouldn’t leave you stranded. This is where rental car coverage comes in – a crucial add-on for your auto insurance policy that ensures you have transportation while your car gets repaired or, in the worst-case scenario, replaced. 

Why You Need Rental Car Coverage 

Imagine this: you’re on your way to work when – bam! Unexpected accident. Luckily, everyone’s okay, but your car needs a trip to the shop. Now what? Without a backup plan, your daily routine grinds to a halt. Rental car coverage steps in, providing you with a temporary vehicle to get you back on track. 

This coverage goes beyond just commuting. It allows you to maintain your day-to-day tasks like your errands, appointments, and even that weekend getaway you’ve been planning. Let’s face it, dealing with an accident is a hassle – rental car coverage helps minimize the disruption. 

Understanding Your Coverage Options 

• Loss of Use: Covers the daily cost of renting a standard vehicle while your car undergoes repairs. There’s usually a daily and total limit on coverage, so be sure to discuss these details with your agent to make sure you have the amount of coverage you want in the event you need to use it. 
• Rental Car Option: If the rental car of your choice is over the daily limit on your policy, then you pay for the difference out of pocket to be reimbursed. 
• More Coverage: Remember, there are always options for more coverage. Rental car companies also offer options for additional coverage. It’s important to keep your agent in the loop to make sure you are getting the coverage you want/ need and nothing extra or nothing less!
