Car Rental Insurance: Requirement or Scam?

March 20, 2007 By Zahir

When people find themselves in other countries, the usual recourse of looking for available cars for rent is one of the immediate things that they would settle before going to their accommodation place. One thing that car rental employees would ask from their clients is that of insurance deposits in case something unwanted would happen to the vehicle being rented.

Car Rental Insurance

Many see this as a scam to allow car rental agencies to add to their income. While people may choose to be safe and sound drivers, unforeseen events such as minor accidents to the car may occur without notice. Availing of insurance helps take away the worries, although some clients would choose to forego with it to avoid unnecessary expenses during their stay.

But sometimes, being a cheapskate when it comes to the small things may end up being a need. Small or irrelevant as they may seem depending on the nature of their purpose may be a good investment for the element of chance. Things occurring such as damages to rented vehicles may occur. Hence, it would be best to be realistic rather than sarcastic in dealing with supposedly useless things such as car rental insurance.
