Insuring the Rental Car

Overview

Proper coverage for rental cars can be complex. While most personal auto policies offer some automatic coverage, they often don’t cover all the exposures involved. Insurers’ policies vary significantly, so agents representing multiple companies must stay informed about each company’s coverage. Additionally, state regulations impact rental vehicle coverage, leading to variations by location. This course explores relevant factors to help insurance professionals make informed recommendations regarding rental car insurance coverage, including exposures and available options.
