If you have ever rented a car, then it’s likely you’ve been pressured to purchase rental car insurance. Car rental companies can be sneaky like that.
When making an informed decision on insurance for a rental car, the more you know about your personal auto policy, the better. In most instances, rental car insurance overlaps with your personal auto policy. If that is the case, you probably don’t want to pay for duplicate coverage.
