Auto Insurance Rental Reimbursement Coverage

Rental Reimbursement Coverage is designed for policy holders that cannot afford to lose the use of their vehicle(s), while it's being repaired. So if a policy holder does not have access to a vehicle when his or her vehicle is damaged due to a collision or comprehensive claim, this coverage is available. A common coverage limit is $30/$900. This stands for $30 per day with a maximum of $900. Which means that the insurance company will pay for a rental car at the rate of $30.00 for up to 30 days. The lowest limits we typically see are $20/$600 and on the high end $50/$1500. For policy holders that are dependent on their vehicles, rental reimbursement coverage is important. Typically the cost of $30/$900 is in the $30 dollar per six months range or $60 dollars a year. Which means for about $5.00 a month you can buy a coverage that can save you 100's of dollars.

Automobile Collision Deductible

Automobile collision coverage provides you protection in the event of physical damage to your own automobile (other than that covered under comprehensive insurance) resulting from collision with another inanimate object. Your deductible is the amount of money that you must pay out of your pocket before being reimbursed from the insurance company. The deductible is usually set as a fixed dollar amount. Such as: $250, $500, $1,000, $2,000 etc. The higher your deductible the larger the discount the insurance company will offer. Choosing higher deductibles is a strategy that allows you to save money on your insurance by SELF insuring smaller losses (loss amounts less than your deductible).
