Can I add extra drivers or countries to my protection?
Yes! Extra drivers and additional countries are automatically covered by your RentalCover protection, as long as the hire supplier authorises them, and they're listed on your rental agreement.
Step-by-Step Guide:
Any driver added to your rental agreement at the pick-up desk is automatically covered.
There's no need to add their names to your RentalCover policy separately or let the RentalCover team know.
If you're renting outside the US, you're all set to travel to other countries as long as your rental agreement allows it. You don't even need to tell RentalCover which specific countries you plan to visit!
If your trip starts within the US, cross-border travel might have a few specific guidelines.
Just take a quick look at your policy wording in your RentalCover account for the exact details.
It's always a great idea to double-check with the local hire supplier at the desk to make sure you have their OK for any additional drivers or cross-border travel before you head off.
"Since RentalCover doesn't charge extra to cover additional drivers, they'll be added to my rental for free at the desk."
While RentalCover is happy to protect additional drivers at no extra cost to you, the local hire supplier usually still charges a daily fee to add them to your official rental agreement at the counter.
"I have RentalCover protection, so I'm automatically covered if I decide to drive the car into a neighbouring country."
Your protection is tied directly to your rental agreement. As long as the local hire supplier knows your travel plans and allows the car into that specific country, your coverage remains active! If the hire desk isn't able to authorise the border crossing, the protection won't be able to cover the car.
💡 Did You Know?
For rentals originating outside the US, your protection follows the vehicle automatically.
You don't need to purchase a separate policy or amend your existing one for cross-border travel.
What to do next:
Just make sure all your drivers and travel plans are included on the rental agreement when you pick up the car at the desk. Once they're on that contract, everyone is automatically covered by your RentalCover protection.
