Re: long-term auto rental. Can I get insurance through an agent as opposed to the expensive rental co. ?

I’m looking at renting a car for about $350/mo but the cost of insuring the car through them more than doubles the cost. Can I get insurance from an insurance company like Allstate or State Farm? My Geico policy won’t allow it.

    I don’t believe most carriers will allow this outside of short term coverage for damage to ur own car…..Check your with your credit card company, alot of them offer free insurance coverage if u use their card for the rental…

    If you have a active auto policy then you are covered on a rental if your car is down for repair. However if the rental is just to have something to drive and your car is not in need or repair then they will not cover it.

    Are you saying your Geico policy won’t extent to a rental? I’ve never heard of a policy not extending. Normally if you have an insured car. That cars’ policy will extend to the rental. Also…..The credit card you use to pay for the rental more than likely will provide at least the collision Damage waiver (CDW). I( suppose you could find a company that will insure the rental but such a company may be hard to find
