Insurance and Coverage
Insurance Liability insurance shields you from lawsuits alleging that the rental car you borrowed was used in an accident that injured someone else or damaged their property or personnel. The rented car is not covered by this policy. Our vehicles are covered by insurance policies that provide coverage up to the minimums prescribed by the state’s financial responsibility laws that apply to the loss. Liability insurance costs $7 per day. Accidental Damage Waiver (CDW): Provides coverage for damage to the rented car if it is involved in an accident or is stolen. There is an additional CDW fee of $20 per day for Full-size and larger vehicles.
