    Types of Rental Car Insurance Coverage in New York

    In New York, rental car companies provide the following types of insurance coverage:

    Collision Damage Waiver

    Also known as Physical Damage Waiver (PDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), this coverage usually costs around $9 per day for cars valued at $30,000 or less and around $12 per day for cars valued at more than $30,000. If you have this type of coverage, the car rental company will waive part of all of the costs involved if a rental car is damaged or stolen. 

    However, the waiver also comes with certain terms and conditions. For example, it may not apply if the car is driven by an unauthorized driver, stolen, or even driven recklessly. 

    Supplemental Liability Protection

    This coverage is also known as SLP insurance, Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI), or Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS). It costs around $11 per day and supplements the car rental company's liability insurance as a requirement in New York. 

    SLI insurance comprises the minimum levels of liability insurance all vehicles in New York are legally required to have. They include:

    At least $25,000 of bodily injury liability protection if one person gets injured in an accident in the state of New York or at least $50,000 if more than one person is injured. 

    If there's one death due to the accident, the driver must have at least $50,000 worth of liability protection and $100,000 for more than one death. An additional $10,000 is required for damage liability protection.

    Personal Accident Insurance

    Also known as PAI coverage, this coverage costs around $3 per day. It provides ambulance, medical and death benefits for the renter and the passengers of the rental car in the event of an accident. 

    The medical coverage provided is usually around $3,500 and at least $150 for ambulance benefits. 

    Personal Effects Coverage

    PEC insurance costs around $2 per day. It provides coverage of up to $500 per individual and a maximum of $1500 for theft or personal items belonging to the rental car driver and other eligible persons.
