Luxury Car Rental Insurance

When you rent a luxury car, you'll want to look into luxury car rental insurance. While your insurance plan may cover car rental, it's always best to check. If you do not have comprehensive collision coverage, you could be liable if the rental car gets stolen or damaged in an accident.

Luxury rental car agencies will likely offer the following types of insurance:

• Collision Damage Waiver: Also known as Loss Damage Waiver, this type of insurance covers the financial responsibility in case of damage or theft. Just be sure to read the fine print, as there are times when this waiver is void (such as if you're intoxicated or speeding). This is the most important type to get when buying extra insurance.
• Liability: This is helpful in case of a serious accident, since it provides liability coverage of up to $1 million. However, you may not need this if you have decent liability coverage on your own car.
• Personal Accident Insurance: This covers medical/ambulance bills for both you and any passengers you may have, although you might not need it if you have medical coverage on your own auto insurance or if you have good health insurance.
• Personal Effects Coverage: This covers the theft of any personal items from your car. Homeowners insurance sometimes covers this.

When renting a luxury car, it's usually worthwhile to get some additional insurance, as the cost of repairing a luxury car can be exceptionally high. Even though the insurance costs extra, it affords you the peace of mind that you won't be held financially responsible in case anything goes wrong.
