Review of Rental Car Damage Protector from Access America

Editor Review

The Good: An affordable alternative to primary loss and collision coverage without using your personal auto insurance to cover a rental car. This plan covers financial losses due to your rental car being damaged or stolen. It covers the cost to repair or replace the vehicle and loss of use fees imposed by the rental care agency as well.

The Drawbacks: This plan includes no roadside assistance or AD&D coverage. The driver must be listed on the rental agreement.

The Bottom Line: This is a rental car only plan, so it will not cover losses for other types of travel risks. It is not comprehensive auto coverage either, so there is no coverage for injuries to other people or vehicles included. It covers only the rental vehicle.
