Best Answer

Yes, a limited time insurance is absolutely necessary to get an auto rental. When driving a rental car, one must be adequately insured in case of a collision. Rental car companies provide this auto insurance although it tends to be pricey. Thus, if one uses rental cars often, they may consider a non-owned auto liability insurance.

Do I need liability insurance for a rental car in Florida?

You are not required to purchase insurance from a rental car company. However you are required by law to have insurance. If you have your own insurance call your insurance company and ask what they cover for rental cars, then once you get to the rental car company ask them what their insurance covers, then use which ever one you feel is best for you. If you do not have personal insurance, I would definitely take out the rental cars insurance.

All rental car co. are required by law to carry at least the minimum liability coverage. Purchasing insurance from a rental place is NOT a term and/or requirement, however, liability coverage is very low, speaking of $ amount. You can use your car insurance also.

Do you pay insurance on a insurance co provided rental car?

In the case of Enterprise, yes. If your auto insurance covers the cost of a car rental while your own is being repaired, that coverage typically only covers the base cost of the rental itself, and not any additional fees such as accident insurance on the rental car, additional authorized drivers, etc. Be aware that the amount that insurance policies provide for rental cars is typically much lower than the rental car would normally go for. Many agencies, Enterprise included, have special rates for insurance claim customers (which is why you are required to present a claim number from your insurance company for rental purposes), and the rental agencies are accustomed to dealing with insurance companies. Insurance rentals make up a substantial portion of rental business.
