Insurance Coverage
Renting a car from Maria Otosigna comes with the option to purchase insurance coverage to protect you and your vehicle in case of an accident or other covered event. There are several types of insurance coverage available, each with its own benefits and costs.
The most basic type of insurance coverage is liability insurance, which covers damages to other vehicles or property in the event of an accident that you cause. Collision insurance covers damages to your own vehicle in the event of an accident, regardless of who is at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers damages to your vehicle from events other than accidents, such as theft, vandalism, or natural disasters.
Deductibles
When you purchase insurance, you will need to choose a deductible, which is the amount of money you will pay out of pocket before the insurance company begins to cover the costs of a claim. The higher the deductible, the lower your monthly premium will be. However, if you have a claim, you will need to pay the deductible before the insurance company pays the rest of the claim.
Premiums
The cost of insurance is called a premium. The premium is based on a number of factors, including your age, driving history, and the type of vehicle you are renting. The higher the risk that you will file a claim, the higher your premium will be.
| Coverage | Deductible | Premium | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Liability | $500 | $50/month | Covers damages to other vehicles or property in the event of an accident that you cause. |
| Collision | $1,000 | $100/month | Covers damages to your own vehicle in the event of an accident, regardless of who is at fault. |
| Comprehensive | $2,000 | $150/month | Covers damages to your vehicle from events other than accidents, such as theft, vandalism, or natural disasters. |
