Coverage, explained

Two paths. One requirement: verified coverage.

Every renter must satisfy the coverage requirement before the vehicle can be released. Your exact options and price are shown during the secure booking process.

Coverage is required before vehicle release.

Final eligibility, price, terms and verification instructions appear in the approved booking flow.

Path A

Straight answers on coverage and eligibility.

View all FAQs
What are my coverage options?

Two paths. You can select the protection option offered during checkout, which increases the rental total and applies for the rental period subject to its own terms. Or, if you hold eligible personal full-coverage insurance, you can request to use it through the approved booking flow.

Who checks my personal insurance, and when?

An independent third party verifies the information before the vehicle is released. Verification has to be complete before handoff, so it is worth starting early rather than on collection day.

Do I upload my licence or insurance documents on this website?

No. Insurance documents, driver’s licence numbers and payment details are never collected through this marketing website. Anything required is requested through the approved booking flow.

What happens if my personal coverage is not accepted?

The protection option offered during checkout remains available. Because eligibility, timing and the rejection path are set by the booking process rather than by this page, call or text (239) 427-3727 if you want to confirm your situation before you reserve.
