The traveler may also provide coverage for rental car damage through the use of certain credit cards, automobile club memberships, personal automobile insurance or other similar arrangements. If the traveler declines the waiver offered by the rental car company and accepts the risk through one of these alternatives, the rental cost will be lower. The traveler should be aware, however, that there will possibly be administrative or financial complications involving return of a damaged vehicle. Personal Accident Insurance is normally offered by car rental companies and airlines and provides for loss of life and some medical expenses. This insurance offered by car rental companies and airlines will NOT be an allowable expense and, if accepted by the traveler, will not be reimbursed by the Center for Research.
Some travel agencies offer flight insurance at no cost.
Contact your travel agency for more information. Travel Insurance is provided to persons authorized to travel on Center for Research business. The traveler is responsible for informing the Center for Research Business Office of their beneficiary's name. Advance notice of travel plans is also recommended. The Center for Research Travel Notice may be used for this purpose.
