“Great question, and kudos to you for thinking ahead! You have several options to insure your Avis rental car:
  • Purchase
    car insurance
    from Avis.
  • Use your own insurance as primary coverage.
  • Buy your own
    rental car insurance
    through a third-party provider such as Allianz.
  • Use your credit card and decline the insurance offered by Avis.
The idea is to get enough coverage to make you feel comfortable, especially if you’re driving in unfamiliar areas or in heavy traffic.
