Is insurance included with the rental car?

Asked 2 years ago
When renting a car through CarRentals.com, the specifics regarding insurance coverage can vary based on several factors, including the rental company, the location, and the policies in place at the time of rental. Typically, rental cars come with some form of basic insurance coverage, which may include liability protection. However, this basic coverage might not be sufficient for all drivers or situations. Customers have the option to purchase additional insurance coverage directly from the rental company at the time of pickup. This might include options such as collision damage waiver, personal accident insurance, or personal effects coverage. Some credit cards also offer rental car insurance as a benefit, so it is worth checking the terms and conditions of any applicable credit card before making a rental reservation. For the most accurate and detailed information regarding insurance options, customers will want to review the current policies on the CarRentals.com website while making their reservation.
