By now you probably know that car insurance is required while driving no matter which state you are in.  The same holds true, if not truer, when you are driving a rental car. 

But, did you know that while you are driving a rental there is a chance that your car insurance policy may be void?

If you are planning on rejecting rental car insurance coverage because you assume your current policy has you covered, you better check ahead of time. 

You should speak to your car insurance agent to ensure there are no gaps in  coverage. It is also important to speak to your credit card company because coverage may vary between companies and there could be details that you should be aware of.

When preparing to travel, take a few minutes to find out if your rental car will be insured through your current car insurance policy. If not, rental car insurance is highly recommended for drivers.

Accidents can happen anywhere, so why pay so much in repairs when you can pay so little for protection.
