Rental car insurance is an alternative to using your personal auto insurance for costs to repair or replace your rental and fees imposed by the rental agency.
Arch RoamRight’s Auto Rental Insurance Plus plan gives you the protection you need when you rent a car on your trip. Often, when you rent a vehicle, the rental company will ask you to purchase their collision damage coverage. This can leave you with very
little time to review the policy prior to purchasing.
When you purchase Arch RoamRight’s rental car insurance before you leave on your trip, you can be confident that you’ll have coverage for your rental car – long before you even approach the rental car counter. This can give you plenty of time to read
the policy and fully understand what coverages you have for your rental car.
Why You Need Rental Car Insurance
If you are traveling more than 100 miles from home and plan to rent a car, you’ll want to make sure you buy rental car insurance. Arch RoamRight’s rental car insurance policy can give you coverage for damage to the car resulting from:
- Collision
- Theft
- Vandalism
- Windstorm
- Fire
- Hail
- Flood
- Any cause not within your control while the car is in your possession.
Looking for a full travel insurance policy in addition to rental car insurance? This rental car insurance coverage is available to purchase as an additional benefit to many of our other Arch RoamRight travel insurance policies.
