Rental car insurance is a cost everyone dreads. If you want free
rental car insurance
, you have two options.
The easiest option is if you have your own
car insurance
policy already. Most car insurance companies extend your policy’s coverage to a rental car. If you have a current policy, ask your provider whether they cover rental cars.
If you don’t have your own policy, check with your credit card companies. Many credit cards have a card benefit for rental cars. When you use your card to pay for the rental and decline the rental company’s collision damage waiver; the credit card company will cover damage and theft to the vehicle.
You can also choose a non-owner’s insurance policy, which provides coverage if you don’t own a vehicle or you rent frequently. Use the

app to compare quotes for these types of policies so you can get the best rate possible.
