Accidents

If the renter experiences an accident or incident that causes damage to Pronto Rent a Car or third-party property, they must obtain and submit a police report to Pronto Rent A Car.

Personal insurance in the customer’s name is acceptable, provided the customer shows proof of transferable auto collision and comprehensive liability coverage, which must include bodily and property damage. If you opt for self-insurance, you are required to buy the Handling Insurance Fee. Should you be unable to provide proof of full coverage, the agent will assist you by contacting your insurance company. If Pronto Rent A Car cannot verify your insurance, the customer must purchase the necessary coverage from Pronto Rent A Car.

Note that our agents are not equipped to assess insurance coverage. The renter must confirm their credit card coverage, automobile insurance policy, or other forms of coverage that may apply for CDW or LDW, including whether benefits are transferable at the time of rental.
