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