Does Admiral car insurance cover rental cars?
Yes, Admiral car insurance does cover rental cars in certain situations. However, the coverage is not automatic and there are specific conditions that need to be met in order for the rental car to be covered under your Admiral policy.
Admiral car insurance typically covers rental cars if you have purchased the optional add-on called “Hire Car Cover.” This coverage allows you to rent a car if your own car is stolen or damaged as a result of an accident, and your claim is accepted by Admiral.
If you have not purchased the Hire Car Cover add-on, your Admiral car insurance policy will not cover rental cars. In that case, you may need to purchase a separate insurance policy from the rental car company or use a credit card that offers rental car insurance coverage.
It is important to review your Admiral car insurance policy documents or contact an Admiral representative to confirm whether your policy includes coverage for rental cars.
