So, what is the deal with insuring a rental car? Do you need to do it? Should you do it? These questions and others will be answered in this series of posts.
The answer is typically ambiguous. Maybe you should. It might be a good idea. There is no definitive yes or no in most situations. It is just … one of those things.
In some cases, your current policy might cover you when you are in a rented vehicle. Lacking that, your credit card company might provide insurance. You should begin discovering the answer to the question of whether or not you need rental car insurance by seeing if you already have it.
All it takes is a few calls on the phone. Ask your representative to send you confirmation somehow, so you can get the ‘yes’ in writing.
