Best Answer

The convertible top is considered part of the car, and damage to it would fall under the same category as any other damage to the vehicle. Whether or not the damage is your fault is another matter to be settled between you, the rental company, and the insurance companies involved.

Who pays or is responsible for collision repair when a rental vehicle is involved?

It depends on the rental contract. Car rental agencies usually expect the customer to provide insurance, either through his own auto coverage policy or by adding special coverage through the agency. Coverage may be provided by the agency, but details must be spelled out in the rental contract. More often than not, the customer is responsible for damage to the vehicle, though in the end, the rental company does shoulder most of the risk.

Who is responsible for hail damage to a rental car?

In some cases, the customer! I was surprised to find that out. It depends on the company and the circumstances so you should talk to the rental agency to find out their policy. I presume that the customer is considered liable if they did not take due care in parking the car somewhere to protect it from hail conditions, but hail is not that predictable.

Do you need to buy car rental insurance if you have a sr22?

An SR22 insurance policy is a regular insurance policy with some additional requirements of the insurance company to notify the State Department of Motor Vehicles and restrictions on cancellation. In a rental car situation, the rental car company will carry the liability coverage and physical damage coverage. You are responsible for a deductible for any damage done to the vehicle. I recommend that you purchase their physical damage waiver so you will not be responsible for damages.
