Best Answer

The physical damage coverage under the liability section of your policy pays for the damage you cause (and are liable for) to the property of others, and costs associated with that damage (tow, rental etc), there will be a limit on that coverage per accident. This is a state required coverage (in all states I know of) with varing limits, the state I am in is a 10k limit, (you can and should carry more) which I think is obsurd, (that's beside the point though).....

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.


What Physical Damage is usually covered with Auto insurance?

Damage to both people and property are covered by auto insurance. Aside from protecting the insured against the claims of others (for bodily harm or property damage, for example), auto insurance typically helps pay for medical expenses needed by the insured or other person involved in the accident AND it covers costs leading to loss or damage of the automobile stated in the insurance.
