Renting vehicles to strangers is a different risk than a company fleet driven by employees. Most standard carriers won't touch it. We work with specialty markets that write rental fleet programs and understand exactly what this exposure looks like, whether you're running two vehicles or two hundred.
When you rent a vehicle to a stranger, you're taking on an unknown driver, unknown habits, and an unknown destination. That's fundamentally different from a company fleet driven by vetted employees. Standard commercial auto carriers price for fleets where the driver is known, and most decline to quote rental operations at all.
We work with specialty admitted and non-admitted carriers that have built programs specifically around the rental exposure. We can quote a two-vehicle operation the same way we'd approach a 20-vehicle fleet.
A complete rental fleet program layers several coverages together, each addressing a specific exposure unique to the rental model.
The backbone of the program: comprehensive, collision, liability, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on every vehicle in your fleet while it's out with a renter.
Commercial AutoProtects the renter for third-party liability claims while operating your vehicle, sitting excess over their own personal auto policy. Many operators pass this cost to renters as a daily fee.
General LiabilityIf vehicles are stored, washed, or serviced on a lot you operate, garage liability is the correct form, not standard GL, since it covers care, custody, and control of vehicles on your premises.
Garage LiabilityCompensates you for lost rental revenue while a damaged vehicle is being repaired, calculated as your daily rate multiplied by the days the vehicle is down.
Property InsuranceWhatever your rental operation looks like, we build a program around it, not a generic policy that leaves gaps.
You purchase LTR coverage as part of your fleet policy, then charge renters a daily fee, typically $8-$16 per day, exactly the way major national chains do it. Over a full year, the fees collected from renters often exceed the annual premium cost.
Conexion tip: not every state regulates daily rental fees the same way, so we review the fee structure and disclosure language in your rental agreement as part of the placement process.
The questions we hear most often from rental fleet operators, straight from our team.
Even if you've been turned down before, tell us about your fleet and lot setup and we'll build the right program.
