rental car insurance
Borrowed vehicle protection
Rental car insurance is coverage that protects against financial liability when driving a rented vehicle.
It typically covers collision damage, theft, and liability for injuries or property damage.
Rental companies offer it at the counter, but many travelers decline because their personal auto insurance or credit card benefits already provide equivalent coverage: Check your credit card's rental car insurance before you pay extra at the counter.
