Yes, Travelers covers a rental car while your vehicle is in the shop for repairs, but only if your car was damaged in an accident, you filed a claim that was approved, and you have rental reimbursement coverage. Rental reimbursement coverage is an optional add-on that costs less than $10 per month with Travelers.
Key Things to Know About Travelers Rental Car Reimbursement
- The Travelers coverage limit typically is about $30 to $100 per day and for up to $3,000 per claim, but these limits can vary by state.
- Travelers will not reimburse you for rental expenses related to vacations and other leisure trips or for routine maintenance on your car.
- The cost of gas, mileage, and security deposits for rental cars is not covered by Travelers' rental reimbursement policy.
- If you rent a car from Enterprise, Travelers will be billed directly. Otherwise, you may have to pay out of pocket and Travelers will reimburse you.
