Short term car insurance inclusions and exclusions

The coverages and exclusions with short term car insurance

With short term car insurance, coverage applies to everyone who is going to be driving the car. Each driver has to have a driver's licence that is valid and has to be named on the policy. If the possibility is there that you could be driving vehicles other than your own, this insurance will cover every car that is listed on the policy. Always be sure to go over the policy very carefully.

There are some exclusions that are there under the conditions and terms outlined in a short term car insurance policy. Because all policies will vary, be sure and read any fine, small print. Here are some of the typical exclusions:

*The insurance company might not pay to replace or recover a car if it was stolen because of careless or reckless acts by the driver.
*Sometimes excluded from coverage is any damage that occurs when the car experiences electrical or mechanical failure because it was poorly maintained.
*Damage that happens because of normal tear and wear on the car is excluded.
*Generally excluded is damage that is caused by natural hazards or high winds.

It is very important to check, check, check all of the details of the policy! Read it very carefully before you actually sign it. These policies specifically stipulate how a vehicle is to be used. All the policies will have a "Description of Use" clause written into them. So, if an accident happens and the insured was using the vehicle for a reason that is not stipulated in the policy, the insurance could be null and void. The driver will oftentimes have to pay to fix any damages that happened due to uses exempted or not allowed. For example, if the car was racing another car, this is certainly a direct violation of the insurance policy and any damages from that race would not be covered. Or, if a driver who is not on the policy should have an accident while driving the car, any costs associated with that accident definitely would not be covered.
