Frequently Asked Questions

All Drivers must have Comprehensive Insurance, meaning Liability and Collision coverage that will transfer to our vans. Customers must call their insurance company to verify if the rental vehicle is covered in case of an accident (you must provide your insurance company with the make and model of the vehicle being rented to verify). We do not offer stand-alone comprehensive insurance; this type of insurance can only be purchased at an insurance company.

Insurance NOT Accepted: United Auto Insurance, Axcess insurance, Magnum Insurance, Insurance on the Spot, Unique Insurance, Lighthouse Insurance, Safe Auto, Lincoln Insurance, American Alliance, Loya Insurance, Amigo Insurance, Oxford Insurance or any SR-22. These insurance companies will not transfer to a passenger van rental!

We do offer Collision Protection, which covers only the vehicle you rent up to $20,000 dollars in case of an accident. The collision protection does not cover the other vehicle involved in any accident and collision protection does not cover any kind of property damages. Collision protection also does not cover damage to the windshield. There is a deductible of 350 dollars in case of an accident for collision protection.

Our Collision Protection is a Primary Insurance that is only offered to customers with current Comprehensive Insurance. We do not offer this product as stand-alone insurance.

There are two kinds of insurance you need to have in place in order to work with us:

  1. Liability insurance 
    Liability insurance covers any damage or injuries that you may cause to someone else due to your fault or negligence. For example, if you cause an accident by running a red light and hit another car, liability insurance will cover the damages to the other vehicle and any injuries to the occupants. Liability insurance does not cover damages to your own vehicle.
  2. Collision Insurance
    Collision insurance covers collision damage to your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault. This includes damages caused by hit and run accidents or collisions with other objects. If you have both liability and collision insurance from the same insurance company, it is called “comprehensive insurance.” Most comprehensive auto insurance policies will cover damage to rented vehicles, but it is recommended to check with your insurance agent to confirm that it covers passenger vans that seat 12 to 15 people.
Commercial use
All Drivers using our Vans for commercial use will not be covered under a personal auto policy. The insurance company will reject coverage and ultimately leave you personally liable for an accident! If you do have commercial coverage, you need to add our company to the Certification of Insurance to rent a vehicle. Only way to do this is to contact your Commercial Insurance Agent.
 
Credit Card Insurance
All Drivers must have Stand-alone Comprehensive Insurance, meaning Liability and Collision coverage that will transfer to our vans from an Insurance Company.
 
We do not accept any type Credit Card Insurance. Credit Card Insurance will specifically exclude passenger vans and in most cases is a Secondary Insurance, meaning you need to have stand-alone comprehensive insurance first for the credit card insurance to cover vehicle damage. No credit card has liability insurance.
