Yes. All renters must either upload valid personal auto insurance that extends to rental vehicles or purchase our $40/day Damage Waiver.

Our $40/day Damage Waiver provides full coverage for the rental vehicle during your booking. It covers damage from:
Collision (any fault)
Theft
Vandalism
Fire
Weather-related damage
Key loss or damage
There’s no deductible and no cap on the amount covered.
The waiver is automatically added at booking, and protects the car only—it is not a substitute for personal auto insurance.

Yes. The rental must be booked by a licensed driver who will act as the sponsor during the road test. The $40 Damage Waiver is automatically added at the time of booking. If the sponsor uploads valid personal auto insurance that extends to rental vehicles during the booking process, the waiver can be removed. If no insurance is uploaded and approved ahead of time, the waiver will remain on the booking. This policy applies to all rentals, including road test appointments.

Provide proof of personal auto insurance that extends to rental vehicles, or
Do nothing, and keep the $40/day Damage Waiver, which is automatically added at the time of booking.
Once everything’s verified, we’ll send you the lockbox code—usually the morning of your rental or a few hours before pickup.
Show up, grab the key, and hit the road. When you’re done, return the car to one of our reserved spots, put the key back in the lockbox, upload photos, and attach it to the window. That’s it.
