Insurance is an essential part of any car hire in Boston. Beware of cheaper prices for car rental in Boston - they may not cover you for an accident.
All of the discount Boston self drive prices here include insurance, with no hidden extras to pay in Boston. Our rates for car hire in Boston have the following protection included:
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
LDW is not insurance, it's a supplement you pay so the Boston car rental company won't claim against you if your Boston hire car is stolen or damaged during your visit to Boston.
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI)
This increases third party liability insurance on your Boston car hire package to $1 million. Some Boston rental packages don't include SLI. Without paying in advance, the Boston car rental office charge $14.99 per day!
Under or Uninsured Motorist Protection (UMP)
Because it isn't compulsory to have insurance to drive in the USA, the other party mightn't have cover if you have an accident in Boston. UMP provides up to $1 million against injuries caused by drivers in Boston without insurance. If you paid UMP in Boston it would cost £5.99.
Emergency Assistance
All of our rental packages in Boston include full breakdown assistance. If your hire car from Boston breaks down, you can call a Boston recovery company to get you back on road.
Deposit
When you collect your rental car in Boston, you must provide a credit card as deposit. In Boston, no money gets charged - details are held as security in case the vehicle is damaged during your Boston fly-drive. Please note: cash is not acceptable as deposit for Boston car hire.
