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