4. 如果你是AAA member, 同时在hertz租车的话,hertz提供基本的liability
insurance for free: (*see update 2)
Primary Personal Liability Protection
AAA members receive Primary Personal Liability Protection of 25/50/10 ($25,
000 per person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 property damage) in most
states. This is protection for claims filed by a third party, i.e.,
passenger, passenger in another vehicle, etc (U.S. Only)
Update:
1. 关于liability的讨论
bbcc同学提出:自己没有车保险的话, 是不是有些租车公司是包 Liability 的?
我查了一下,租车公司确实会买liability, 但只是minimum by law. 我查了一两个州
,大概是10k-20k per accident. 另外hertz在CA, Avis在CA,TX连这个基本的
liability也不提供,其他公司的我没查,大家可以到各公司网站找具体条框。
Insurance Information Institute的建议: Rental companies are required by law
to provide the minimum level of liability insurance required by your state.
Generally, this does not offer enough protection in a serious accident. If
you have adequate liability coverage on your car or an umbrella policy on
your home/auto, you may consider forgoing this additional insurance. It
generally costs about $9 to $14 a day. If you don't own a car, and rent cars
often, consider purchasing a non-owner liability policy.
