What to expect on your trip
- Many US personal auto policies extend collision and liability to rental vehicles for 30 days or less when rented in your name.
- Geico, State Farm, and Progressive typically cover collision on rentals if you carry comp/collision on owned vehicles — deductible applies ($500–$1,000 common).
- Liability extension varies: some policies match your personal limits ($100k/$300k); others cap rental liability at state minimum.
- Call your insurer with the rental VIN/class before pickup — ask specifically about CONRAC commercial fleet and SUV/pickup classes.
- If your policy is liability-only on owned cars, you likely need CDW/LDW or credit-card collision coverage for the rental itself.
Honest heads-up
Know this
Kayak averages hide CFC (~$7/day) and ACRF (11.1%) stacked on base rates. Compare all-in daily cost, not headline $/day.
Know this
Deposit holds are often confused with charges. At CONRAC, holds typically release 5–14 business days after return depending on bank batching.
