I don’t know about you but every time I go on vacation and have to rent a car, sure enough, the car rental agency asks me if I’d like to buy the rental car insurance.

I’ve always looked at it as a way for the car rental agency to make tons of money ’cause hardly anybody ever damages the rental car (or do they?), and MY car insurance already covers me for any damage.

Oh really?

Here is an article that’ll convince you to buy that rental car insurance. If not for what it can do to protect you should you damage that rental, but just for peace of mind of not having to go through all the hassle. It really is cheap auto insurance.

Let me know if his article convinced you to buy that annoying rental car insurance- it sure convinced me.

Ten Reasons to Purchase the Rental Car Insurance

Million of families will be sending new high school graduates off to college this year- a new chapter in the life of these students. Yet typically, one critical thing is overlooked by college-bound students and their parents—insurance- health insurance, auto insurance, renters insurance, according to Rick Dinger, owner of Crescenta Valley Insurance.

More than 70% of those college-bound students who rent while in school typically are under-insured for their personal property- things like computers, iPods, stereo equipment, etc. Plus, they usually don’t think about getting liability insurance should someone get hurt while in their apartment. And regarding health insurance, one in seven students carries no kndividual health insurance.

Most college-bound students and their parents erroneously assume that insurance is too expensive, but it is actually quite affordable. For example, consider a standard renters insurance policy. Personal property coverage of $15,000 and $100,000 in liability coverage costs $100 to $150 annually.

Parents and college students should seek the advise of a professional insurance agent for auto, health and renters insurance.
