Best Answer

If you have car insurance, your own policy may cover accidents in rental cars -- check with your insurer. The rental agency will also make available an insurance policy that will specifically cover you in their vehicle, regardless of what your own insurance carrier may cover. Such insurance is worth the cost, in my opinion, if for no other reason than eliminating most of the hassle if you do have an accident.

Insurance purchased at the time of rental usually has a deductible, perhaps $250, that may or may not be taken out of your rental deposit. If your insurance carrier does not cover rentals, and you did not purchase insurance from the rental company at the time you rented the car, you may be legally liable for the entire cost of the car's repair

What if is some one sueing the rental car company even though the driver of the rental car company did not purchase any protections but he did cause the accident.?

Suing the rental car company is probably not going to get them anywhere. If protection was not purchased from the rental agency, then the rental agency has no obligation to act. The renter is liable, and this may either be dealt with through the renter's own personal auto insurance, or out of pocket if they are uninsured.

A good percentage of rental car company business is around rentals connected to accidents and insurance. It's fairly common for an insurance company to pay for a person to have a rental car if that person's car is in the shop due to an accident. Even if you do not have insurance paying for the rental car, the simple fact of you having been in an accident is not going to prevent you from renting a car as long as your driver's license is valid and you have the ability to pay.
