Towing

Towing coverage usually pays for, or reimburses, the expense of having a vehicle towed as a result of an auto accident on a "per incident" basis. Towing fees may range from $50 to over $500 depending on the distance and work associated with the tow. For example, a vehicle in a ditch may be more difficult to recover and may incur a higher expense. Towing may be purchase separately from rental coverage and will have a specified limit for each occurence.

Rental

The cost of renting a vehicle can add up, especially if a vehicle becomes inoperable for long periods of time. Rental car coverage usually specifies the daily limit, as well as a total combined limit. For example, if a policy declarations page indicates rental coverage of 25/300, it may mean that the daily limit is $25 for up to a limit of $300 for multiple days. Expenses for renting vehicles which exceed the indicated limitations may not be covered and become due by the policyholder.
