Rental Car Insurance and Protection

Rental protection is a set of different products. A damage waiver for the rented vehicle does not by itself answer liability or personal injury questions.

Before you rely on a policy

Amounts and eligibility can change by branch, vehicle, card, and booking. A pending hold is different from a settled charge.

Explore specific questions

What to check first

  • Check your personal auto policy and card benefit guide.
  • Separate damage to the rental from third-party liability.
  • Read exclusions and authorized-driver rules before declining or buying anything.
