26 - Friday, July 17, 1992 - North Shore News Special rental policy has extended coverage IF YOUR plans include renting or borrowing a vehicle for holidays or business use, ICBC has a special policy that will give you excellent coverage at a lower cost than the rental companies charge. It’s called the Rental Vehicle Policy and it includes: @ 31 million in third party liabili- ty @ No-fault accident benefits for all occupants of the rented or borrowed vehicle @ Underinsured motorist protec-. tion of up to $2 million in the event you, any member of your family or your passengers, are in- jured by another driver with in- sufficient coverage to pay the claims , @ Collision coverage with $100 deductible @ Comprehensive coverage with $100 deductible @ Loss-of-use coverage up to $25 per day to a total limit of $250 Few, if any, rental firms offer all these coverages and those they offer are usually more expensive. In some U.S. states such as California and Hawaii, rental vehicles might have as little as $35,000 third party coverage ... not nearly enough, given the kind of awards handed down by their courts to accident victims. One B.C. motorist rented a car in Florida and found out the hard way that the so-called ‘*com- prehensive’’ coverage did not in- clude damage caused ‘o the vehi- cle by vandals. A particularly useful feature of the Autoplan Rental Vehicle Pro- tection Policy is the loss-of-use coverage. If you cannot use your sental vehicle due to severe dam- Ken Hardie AUTOTOPIC ages, this policy will pay up to $25 a day ($250 maximum) for a replacement vehicle. The policy covers any motor vehicle including a motor home, motorcycle or a trailer used for pleasure or business purposes. It does not extend to vehicles you may yent or borrow to carry goods or to passenger buses with a seating capacity of 16 or more people. Generally, most rental firms ac- cept this policy, although some may express reluctance and re- quire a targer deposit than usual. Check with your travel agent to ensure that the company you choose will accent the Autoplan policy. The premium is a flat rate per day, with a minimum of $20. it can be purchased from one day to a full year, but only by a resident of B.C. or a company registered in B.C. Autoplan brokers have ail the information and can set you up with all the auto insurance protec- tion you'll need.
