Do I Need Insurance for My Rental Car?

How many times has this happened to you? You fly into a new city for business. After clearing the baggage area, you check in with your rental car company to pick up the rental car. As you are signing the stack of paperwork, you come across a form that asks if you want to buy the car insurance.

Depending on your situation, this can simply be a ploy to get more money out of you. Fortunately, many car insurance companies will cover the insurance on your rental vehicle. With that said, the smartest thing you can do is call your insurance company before your depart for the airport to verify whether or not they will cover your rental car. If they do, you have just saved a little extra money.
