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