What is your fuel policy?
Bring the car back
full to avoid any refueling service charge.
What insurance packages do you have?
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) provides protection
against bodily injury and property damage to others for which you
are legally liable. SLI is excess automobile liability insurance that
protects you and all authorized drivers of the rental vehicle against
third-party bodily injury and property-damage claims.
When SLI is purchased, liability protection provided by econocars
and the SLI carrier becomes primary and applies before other liability
protection available to you. This means that you probably won't
have to call upon your other protection unless the loss exceeds
the SLI limit or results from your use of the vehicle in violation
of the terms of the rental agreement. By not having to file a claim
under your own policy, you can probably avoid possible premium increases
or even cancellation.
SLI is included, the liability protectionto the renter or
authorized driver is $ 25'000 combined single
limit.
Personal Accident and Effects Insurance (PAE) protects
you and your passengers against accident, injury and loss to personal
property.
PAE provides renters and occupants of the rental vehicle with
accidental death benefit and coverage for certain medical expenses
resulting from an accident up ti $ 10'000 per occupant.
ESP protects international renters possessing a non-US passport
against certain medical expenses resulting from accidents occurring
during the rental period. It also covers other members of the renter's
traveling party who also have non-US passports. By having PAE
in combination with ESP, international renters who might otherwise
have no medical coverage available to them while in the US are protected
against medical expenses that result from accidents. (up to $ 10'000/occupant)
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) offered by car rental
companies is not insurance. It relieves renters
of financial responsibility if the car is damaged or stolen while
under rental contract. Using the vehicle in violation of any of
the use restrictions listed on the rental agreement could void LDW
and leave the renter fully responsible for any damage to the vehicle.
If you violate this restrictions you may be responsible for up to the full fair
market value of the car if it is damaged, vandalized or stolen during
the rental. You may also be responsible for reimbursing econocarsFL for the revenue lost by not being able to use the
car while it is being repaired or not recovered due to theft (loss
of use).
If you're renting for personal reasons, check your own automobile
insurance policy before you pick up a car. Many policies
do cover rental cars, but even if a renter has personal automobile
insurance, he or she may not be totally protected. For example,
if you decline LDW and rely on your own insurance, you probably
would be responsible for paying your usual deductible. Also, loss
of use fees is not normally covered by personal auto insurance policies.
And, personal auto policies that extend collision coverage to a
rental car may only provide a coverage limit equal to the value
of the vehicle scheduled on the policy.
If the value of the renter's personal auto is less than that of
the rental vehicle, the renter could still have some damage responsibility.
Finally, if you don't own a car and don't have automobile insurance,
you should consider accepting Loss Damage Waiver.
Some credit card companies offer protection if you present their
card at the time of rental and use the same card to pay for your
rental at the time of return. Renters should examine closely the
terms of this coverage as the protection is often supplemental and
certain limitations or restrictions may apply.
What should I do in the case of an accident?
First contact the police to complete an accident report and immediately
contact econocars.
What should I do if my vehicle breaks down?
In case of a breakdown, you have to inform econocars. You may be reimbursed
up to $ 50 for not approved repaires..
Can I add additional drivers?
Additional drivers are allowed, though they must
meet the minimum age requirements, present a valid driver's license
and credit card, and have a clean driving record. There may be a
surcharge for an additional driver.
How high is the deductible?
The deductible for each insurance case is $ 1'000.
