Insurance when Renting a Car:

You only need non-owners insurance. It is relatively inexpensive and lasts for the term that you have the rental car. Most rental companies provide this type of insurance as part of the rental package.

The renters responsibly varies from state to state. The rental company will offer you a protection package which includes LDW/ALI/ PEP/PAI

LDW/CDW= waiver the cover the cost of only the rental car

ALI= covers 3rd party damages

PEP= covers personal belongings, stolen damage in vehicle

PAI= Personal accident Insurance covers medical bills, in and out of the car

These are not included in the rental fees. Each one is separate and you are charged a daily fee which varies and the state and the type of vehicle you are renting.

Also just a little side note, if you rent a car and drive out of state and get into an accident out of state, your responsibility changes to that state's law regardless of where you actually rented the car.

If you already have full coverage auto insurance, there is no need to purchase additional insurance for your rental car.

If you don't purchase their insurance and get into an accident, you will have to pay for the days they are out money for not being able to rent the car out.

Auto Rentals and Auto Insurance CoverageUsually your standard lines car insurance policy does transfer when you rent a car.Limited lines policies generally DO NOT transfer to a rental car.It is always best to check with your auto insurance agent first, before you rent a car and assume you have coverage and to also find out if you have any applicable deductibles.An example I can give you is that when we vacationed in Hawaii and rented scooters, our auto owners insurance would not cover us because we were in the state of Hawaii, which had some type of exclusion.
