Carrollton Rental Car Insurance

Getting ready to hit the open road and enjoy your last summer road trip of the season? If you will be renting a car for your road trip, it is imperative that you obtain the necessary insurance coverage to protect your vacation.

If you do not have Comprehensive or Collision coverage under your existing auto insurance policy, chances are you can receive coverage through one of your credit card carriers.

We want you to take advantage of all the protection that is offered to you, and that is why we will dispel some common myths regarding rental car insurance, and provide you with the facts. If you can receive free rental car collision coverage through your credit card carrier, why would you pay the elevated fees at the rental car company?
