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