travel insurance personal liability, does this cover car accidents as well?

[villageidiotY2K]

Hi folks, as the subject, if u've got a travel insurance that has a coverage for personal laibility and you cause a car accident on a rental car, will it be covered under travel insurance?

I'll go with yes but read the policy doc, yes to medical, a no for public liability most likely

The third party liability section of most, if not all, travel policies will exclude liability arising out of the use of a motor vehicle.

 

There is sometimes a carve-back for liability for damage to the rental vehicle itself, subject to a sublimit. This may  or may not be adequate to allow the policyholder to decline the expensive collision damage waiver that rental car companies offer.
