Best Answer

The term for this is "authorized driver", and usually only the person who signs the contract is included (some agencies automatically include spouses at no extra charge). You can usually pay an additional one-time fee to add more people to the list of authorized drivers. Additional drivers will usually be required to be physically present when the contract is made, and produce a valid driver's license.

Anyone else who drives the car is considered unauthorized and this is considered a breach of contract for which you may be liable in the event of an accident.

Where can you find the law that states that if your car was in an accident your rental car should be somewhat the same as you were driving?

I have never heard of this. What I think you mean is if you have rental car plan in your personal insurance and they rent the car that is close to the car you have covered under their plan... If that's the case it would be in your insurance policy and that would be between you and your insurance. The rental car company has nothing to do with your insurance policy..... Rental car companies supply the type of car you make a reservations for.

What is rental car reimbursement?

Rental car reimbursement is a type of car insurance coverage that pays for the cost of a rental car while your own car is being repaired or replaced after an accident. It is also known as rental reimbursement coverage. It is typically an optional coverage that can be added to your car insurance policy for an additional cost. The coverage can be useful in the event that your car is damaged in an accident and needs repairs. Instead of having to go without a car, rental car reimbursement will cover the cost of renting a car so you can continue to drive while your car is being repaired. The coverage usually has a maximum daily limit and a maximum amount for the entire period of rental, these limits can vary depending on the policy. It's important to check the coverage limits and conditions of your policy, and whether the rental car is covered under liability, collision or comprehensive coverage, or all of them, before you add rental car reimbursement to your policy. Some policies also have restrictions on the type of rental cars that are covered. Rental car reimbursement coverage can be a good option for those who depend on their car for daily activities or have a long commute, but it's not necessary for everyone. It's always best to consider your needs and budget when deciding whether to add rental car reimbursement to your policy.
