Rental Car Coverage that doesn't cover

Did you know? You may have purchased rental car coverage but some bargain auto policies leave you open to paying out of your own pocket what's called "loss of use" if you wreck the rental car because while it's in the repair shop, the company can't rent it for a profit.

This could leave you with a fat bill for the rental car company's lost income as long as the car is off the road. I've seen bills as high as $1200 for this. Please make sure you know what your coverage "covers". Accepting a policy that is $5 cheaper per month sometimes is not worth it.
