Local Guidelines: When renting a car from Therentalcars in Vinalhaven, ME, it's important to understand the insurance requirements. In most cases, your personal auto insurance policy will extend coverage to your rental car, potentially eliminating the need for additional insurance from us. If your existing policy includes liability, comprehensive, collision, and medical payments/personal injury protection, you're likely covered. However, if you lack personal auto insurance, you will need to purchase liability coverage from Therentalcars. Your personal auto insurance typically covers rental cars with the same coverage limits and deductibles as your primary vehicle. Keep in mind that rental car insurance is different from rental car reimbursement coverage, which can be added to your personal policy to cover rental costs while your car is being repaired after an accident.
