Rental Cars and Vans

Insurance

When renting vehicles within the United States, it is not necessary to purchase the additional insurance offered by the rental company.  The College's vehicle/liability insurance extends to rental vehicles.  In order for the insurance to apply, the vehicle must be rented using a College purchase order, a direct-bill corporate account or a corporate Visa card.  

For vehicle rentals outside the United States, collision and liability insurance should be purchased from the rental company.  The College's vehicle insurance does not provide coverage for international rentals.
