Answer Financial Offers Final Answer on Whether or Not Car Rental Insurance is Necessary
Consumers need not accept car rental insurance from the rental company. Most people renting cars are probably already insured under their own auto insurance policy and possibly even by the credit card company used for the rental, alerts Answer Financial.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2006 -- Consumers need not accept car rental insurance from the rental company. Most people renting cars are probably already insured under their own auto insurance policy and possibly even by the credit card company used for the rental, alerts Answer Financial.
“Consumers should check with their insurance providers about their policies to see what is covered when they rent a car,” said Rich Goebel of Answer Financial. “It’s also a good idea to call your credit card company because many offer comprehensive damage coverage for most vehicles.”
Today, most rental car companies offer four forms of supplemental insurance -- liability, collision damage waiver (C.D.W.), personal accident insurance and personal effects coverage -- none of which you are likely to need.
“Rental car companies are not insurance carriers and have little expertise. They merely offer policies underwritten by insurance companies as an added revenue stream and these have little value for the customer,” added Rich Goebel of Answer Financial.
Answer Financial also recommends consumers check their home and life insurance. Theft of personal items stolen from a rental car may also be covered under it.
