The summer season is the time that many of us opt to take a little vacation or travel to see our relatives. If, for whatever reason, you find yourself needing a rental car, it’s important to educate yourself on your rental insurance policy. The last thing you want while you’re on vacation is having to deal with the nightmare of being involved in a car accident. But what’s ever worse is finding out that the coverage you though you had, doesn’t apply.

It’s always best to prepare for the worst, and definitely don’t give the insurance companies the benefit of the doubt when it comes to your coverage. Often times, people will end up paying for additional rental car insurance and find themselves double covered. But more often than not, people make the assumption that they will be covered by their existing auto policy, only to find out otherwise. With rental cars, there are other fees that they will tack on in the event of an accident, such as the “loss of use” fee associated with their loss of income while the car is being repaired. Most standard policies will not cover such fees.

It’s always best to get an actual insurance agent on the phone so you can verify the answers to your questions with a real person as opposed to an automated machine. If you’re able to get an agent on the phone, be sure to write down the answers to the questions to prepare yourself when you hit the rental car checkout. The requirements for insurance coverage will vary by state which is why it’s nice to clarify your policy with someone. If you’re already at your vacation location and don’t have access to a phone, you may want to look to the internet for some answers.

Renting a vehicle may seem like a simple process, however it is only simple if you know what to expect and are prepared when you get to the counter. Now if you are renting a vehicle for local around town usage, there probably be very few things to consider but if you will be traveling to an international destination and then renting a vehicle you need to make sure that you are prepared with everything you will need to make your rental go smoothly.

1. PAPERWORK – Perhaps the most important thing you can do to prepare for when you arrive to pick up your rental vehicle is to have all the paperwork together in advance. Putting your driver’s license, passport and insurance documents all together along with your rental confirmation number will make the transition a much smoother one. Also, be sure to find out in advance if you will need extra documentation, especially if you are traveling abroad, some of these documents need to be obtained in your home land in advance.

2. KNOWLEDGE – Know in advance what to expect when you arrive. Make sure you have a clear understanding of the vehicle you will be leasing and how it works. Be prepared that you will probably spend about an hour getting everything set to go, even when you are prepared, you will need to take the extra time to read over the rental agreement and to look over the car and make yourself familiar with it. Knowing in advance that this process will take time will allow you to be better prepared. If you are traveling for a long day and the family is in tow, let them do some sightseeing while you complete the rental process or suggest they go for a bite to eat. This will allow you to take the time you need to get everything in order.
