Insurance Coverage After Rental Car Accident

Generally, it is known to the public that car insurance policy and car clubs dynamically provide rental car coverage facility. Actually, this is not the case. All you need to do in this regard is to read your policy terms and conditions carefully and coordinate with your insurance agent to revise your terms accordingly.

Procedure:

If anyone faced car accident and he wants to have a rental car from their motor car club during the repair period of his car. He only can avail this facility if the car insurance policy agreement contains this option. If your insurance policy offers this facility then you may have rental car (not more than 30 days normally) during your car is being overhauled. Rental car coverage can be added in terms of insurance policy at any time after the start of policy. You can verify this option from your insurance agent.

Necessary Clarification:

Due to lack of knowledge people assume that their car club membership will assist them by providing a rental car. Contrary to this fact, normally, motor clubs do not provide rental car services in case of accidents, however, they offers other emergency services and other roadside assistance like towing, battery jumping etc. However, it’s a good idea and motor clubs can offer rental car on discount basis.
