## What to know

**Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)** pays medical expenses for driver/passengers injured in a rental crash, typically **$5-$10/day** at CONRAC. US travelers with employer health insurance or PIP (Personal Injury Protection) on their auto policy often duplicate PAI benefits. PAI may include **accidental death** benefits up to **$175,000** per person on standard corporate forms - verify the pamphlet at counter. Skip PAI when your credit card or travel insurance already includes **$50,000+** emergency medical abroad. For visitors without US health coverage, compare PAI vs a standalone travel medical policy for the full trip (often better value for 7+ days). At Sea-Tac CONRAC at 3150 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188 - purple-sign shuttles from Terminal Level 1 Islands 1 & 16., all 12 brands sell optional waivers at pickup. Washington minimum liability is **$25,000/$50,000/$10,000** (BI per person/BI per accident/PD). Kayak SUV avg **$61/day** before waivers. CFC **$7/day** + ACRF **11.1%** apply regardless of insurance choice. **Dashcam note:** PAI covers occupant medical costs in a crash - dashcam does not replace health insurance or PAI; it may corroborate accident timing for claims. **
