Will My Insurance Cover Damage To A Rental Car? 
It is possible that your auto policy will extend coverage onto a rental car while it temporarily replaces yours . Remember though that if you have an older car and are just carying liability , that will be the only coverage that transfers . You could therefore be financially exposed without also having Comprehensive and Collision -LRB- Physical Damage -RRB- coverage . Check with your insurance professional . Also , check the terms and conditions of your credit card . Many cards provide some limited coverage for a rental , usually up to $ 500.00 , which in many cases is enough to cover your own auto policy deductible .
