Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Southwest?

Accepted Answer

A thorough insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Southwest escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
