Your Summer Vacation, Your Rental Car and Your Insurance

Would you like to purchase insurance? These words are often met with a moment of silence at the car rental counter. When this question is asked, most people think for a minute and then just buy the insurance offered by the car rental company out of fright.

Do you really need to buy the car rental insurance? Most people do not. If you already have full coverage (which would include comprehensive and collision coverage in addition to liability) on at least one of your current vehicles, that coverage should cover your rental car as if it were your car.
