Car Needed for 6 Weeks
Do you have a car sitting around this summer? Want to loan it out and make some cash? We need a car during our vacation around the Lakes Region. Will provide own insurance. Needs to be reliable and in good mechanical condition, we'll just use it locally for 6 weeks or so. (end of June - begin August). Non smoking only please! $150/week cash.

Owners beware
Not to put a wet blanket on the original poster's plan, but there would be a huge liability risk in allowing someone (not known to you) to use your car, even if insured by them. (Even if they are able to obtain coverage for a vehicle they do not own- no insurable interest) As the owner, any liability claim will extend to owner if the claim exceeds the limit of liability. One other point is that the owner's personal auto policy will likely exclude coverage if the vehicle is rented.
Sorry stablab, but from an owner's perspective, not a good idea. Dave

How about a sale and repurchase?
Would that work? Sorry but I have no car to offer. |

Upthesaukee, my auto insurance covers me for rented vehicles. I decline rental insurance whenever on vacation. I’m in MA, is NH coverage different?

Also, regular insurance does not provide coverage if you rent it out, i.e. allow your vehicle to be used commercially. |

I guess it would depend on the vehicle, but $150 is not much to cover wear and tear and risk. I'd also be concerned with a new member with no history. At least we know FLL would provide foam noodles to protect from door dings!

Your auto policy will usually cover you for collision & liability (up to your policy limits) when you rent a car and some credit cards (Visa for example) provide the same coverages when you rent using their card. And I agree you are not covered when you rent your car. When you rent it becomes a commercial use which is excluded by most individual policies.
You are also correct that loss of use is not covered by insurance (most credit cards do not cover loss of use) on rentals because it is an unpredictable and sometimes bogusly padded by rental co.’s. (I had a recent incident in France and I fully expected to get banged for loss of use. I was charged a very reasonable .75 days for a repair. Boy, was I surprised).

Just for the heck of it I looked at Tito for a rental for the month of July and compared it to Enterprise in Manchester. All in they were comparable at +/-$50per day for a small car. Makes $150/week seem pretty low ball.

Cheap
Google "Rent a Wreck" and find cars that rent for $5-10 a day. Probably also "Ugly Duckling".

Yes it does
Quote:
In the case of you renting from Hertz / Avis etc, they have insurance on their cars, and your personal auto coverage extends to the car you are renting. Your personal auto policy likely will exclude coverage for you to rent your owned auto to someone else. That puts the owner of the vehicle in a potentially huge liability risk. JMHO Dave
