If you rent a car, you HAVE TO show proof of insurance right???
|
I got hit on my motorcycle yesterday by a guy in a rental. The cop said we had to call the rental place ourselves to get the guy's insurance info. My husband called today and they said they're not sure if the guy has insurance. They said he didn't get the rental's insurance, and he signed a waiver saying he does have his own ins. They said since he signed the waiver they didn't need to see his proof. That doesn't sound right to me!!! By the way, everyone is fine (except my bike). I did manage to keep my bike up though, that's a very good thing!

I have rented many cars before from a variety of companies and have never been asked for any proof that I have my own insurance. I am always asked if I want to buy the rental company's coverage, but I always decline. |

My wife used to rent cars. By signing that they have insurance, all they are doing is accepting the liability if involved in a n accident. At least here, they cannot demand proof of insurance, heck, they even sell it, but but refusing to buy it, you are releasing the rental company of any liability.
I was hit by an uninsured motorist 3 years ago. Like you, only the vehicle was damaged and thank god my insurance company took very good care of me. They even went after the other motorist. Check with your insurance company to get some advice. |

yea at least liability...but they just passed a law where I live that you gotta have full coverage. I think they offer insurance when you rent the car..for an extra price. |

Talk to your own insurance. They should take care of this for you. You weren't at fault, so they won't raise your rates even if they can't collect. |
