Motor Vehicle Policy: Rental Vehicles

The College’s insurance provides for both liability and physical damage for employees and students who rent vehicles while on authorized College business. 覆盖率 extends for car rentals in the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico and U.S. territories (therefore, please waive the rental agency’s insurance coverage). A Certificate of 保险 is available that will evidence the College non-owned and hired auto coverage.

Employee’s personal effects, while within a vehicle, are not covered by College insurance unless the vehicle is no more than 1000 feet from campus (limit of $25,000). 如果一个 loss or damage occurs to your personal property outside of this radius, please submit the loss directly to your homeowners/renters insurance.

• For vehicles rented in a foreign country – you must secure the compulsory automobile insurance coverage offered by the rental company in that country.
• 如果一个ny rental vehicle will be in your custody for a continuous period of time (in excess of 30 days), please notify the Office of 风险管理.
