Layers of Rental Car Coverage

If you travel, you are bound to require a rental vehicle. There are also cases where you may never drive but have a day of errands or even leisure in Newark, New Jersey and find yourself needing a rental but there is a question about insurance. If you own a vehicle, you likely have New Jersey’s minimum coverage. The Automobile Insurance Cost Reduction Act requires all auto owners to have basic insurance to be road-legal while driving. Most rental services will offer loss damage waivers (LDW) and collision damage waivers (CDW), taking the place of your collision and comprehensive insurance but the exemptions differ and come with deductibles. In other cases, it could null and void if the accident is your fault. But there is a way to lessen the potential for disaster.

Non-owner car insurance covers drivers who do not own a vehicle but do drive on occasion. Be that a rental or a friend’s car, having supplemental insurance is never a bad idea.  Not only are you ensuring that you do not go into debt because of the unpredictability of an accident, but you are also protecting yourself from future choices. Non-owner insurance is ideal if you will be without a vehicle for a period of time. By purchasing non-owner insurance through E.S.T.I.R. Inc. , you are also avoiding higher insurance costs for when you do buy a car and insurance.
