What if you were told you could avoid paying $5,000 next week by giving someone three dollars today? Sounds like a good deal doesn’t it? This is how insurance works. You pay a little bit now for the peace of mind that if you have an accident, there is someone who will come to help you and cover the costs.The same holds true for rental car insurance.
Rental cars offer a quick and convenient way to get around a new city while travelling, or staying mobile when your own vehicle is lost or stolen. There are as many different types of cars, SUVs and trucks to choose from as there are companies to provide you a rental.
The common thread with all these companies is they all want to protect their cars and want them back in one piece by offering you the option to add car rental insurance. This option is often overlooked as a sales pitch or “tacked on extra” rental car agencies try to foist on an unsuspecting traveler.
Many also dismiss this additional charge because they believe they are already covered by their own insurance or credit card company. In too many instances a stack of repair bills and major headaches and hassles could have been avoided by doing some simple research and paying a few extra dollars.
