TiffsMom. Make sure that if you are not going to purchase insurance with your rental car, that your private insurance covers it. You will have to ask your insurance agent for the information.

I would bring you personal Insurance card, and check with the rental agency to get proof of insurance on the rental as well! Be double covered.

I was told, by a friend that travels, that your private car insurance will cover you....but, it will be a "ding" on your insurance if anything happens and you will be paying your deductibles! If you take their insurance it's there problem. I would double check with your insurance company to be sure...I am!!!

Cindy-SailorMom, I agree with you. When I rent a car, I always buy their insurance and it is a good thing I have. I got into a car accident with the rental car and I had bought insurance through the rental company. The car rental company tried to say that I had not purchased any insurance and were trying to charge me 6,000 dollars. They didn't get away with it because I had my rental receipt. They also tried to get money out of my own insurance company but that didn't work either.

question since my mom can't attend now she may either drop me off or i probably will be on the rental i should be okay with the insurance card that goes with the rental correct? i'm confused reading all of this!

When you rent a car from any company, just make sure to buy their insurance. Then if you are in a car accident, they can't harass you because you bought their insurance. It might cost you extra but it is worth it. Make sure you keep your rental agreement with you.

The Rental car company that I rented my car from (that time) were known for being crocked. That is why they gave me such a hard time when I got into the accident. Once they found out that I was a private renter and not with a large company, they treated me differently. I was lucky that I kept my renters agreement. They couldn't do a thing about getting me to pay the $6,000 dollars for repairs on a car that was obviously totaled. I bought full coverage.
