When it comes to going on vacation and renting a car, it can be very complicated. Usually, when you’re on a driving vacation you don’t want to do all the driving. But, when you rent a car they expect that you will be the only driver. First of all, you should check with your own insurance company to see how that works with them. You need to ask your agent if another person is covered to drive a car that you rent in your name. Your direct auto insurance policy probably does not cover that other driver so you need to check into other options.
If you are putting the car rental charges on a major credit card, you should ask them if they provide any coverage for you or possibly another driver. The credit card company will probably pay for any damages to the vehicle, but are not likely to pay for you or another driver if you were injured. Most likely, you will have to purchase some extra auto insurance protection for yourself, but they usually won’t cover a second driver of the rental car.
When you are renting the vehicle from the car rental agency, you need to discuss what type of coverage they provide because it may be the number one insurance involved. Usually, rental agencies do not even allow for other drivers to drive the rental car much less provide any insurance coverage, even if you pay extra. There are a few exceptions to this rule such as:
- You add additional authorized drivers who may be able to drive the vehicle if they are over 25 years old. The second driver must have a valid drivers license and a major credit card. Of course, there will be an additional charge to the daily rental rate for each driver added. Also, the insurance you purchase from the auto agency will cost more.
- If you are driving on business and renting under the corporate name, the other drivers may include your boss and other employees of the company.
- In certain states, the law allows for your legal spouse to be an authorized driver of a rental car.

When most people hear the term no load they generally think of one particular type of financial product. The thing most associated with this phrase is a mutual fund. You will often hear on the news stations advice to get a no load mutual fund. What many people don’t realize is that there is actually an insurance product that uses the same phrase. It is a no load term life insurance policy.
This type of term life insurance is a little bit ridiculous. All that it implies is that there isn’t an agent commission or annual fee tacked on the end of the premium price you are quoted. This sounds good on paper, but you end up paying the money one way or another. To purchase you generally will pay the agent a fee rather than have it tacked onto the premium.

Contractors, as roughly understood by convention, are the people who have control over their own work hours, are not necessarily providing service for just one company alone and they are not provided for with any insurance which their partner or contracting companies have even during the process of business undertaking. In the US, there remains to be a gray area in the working definition of the word when applied to individual contractors. In some laws of the state, an individual may be considered as an individual contractor while other laws may term him as an individual with an employee status. There is a big difference between the two employment statuses and one of those discrepancies lies on qualifying for a company-sponsored insurance coverage. A regular employee qualifies to receive the privilege of insurance coverage sponsored by the company that he or she is affiliated with. On the other hand, individual contractors do not have this privilege hence, are disposed to purchase contractor insurance with their own finances. Typically, individual contractors are those who not being deducted for taxes and social security, aside from not being covered by any insurance privileges. In some cases, an individual and a company may come into an agreement about the working status of the individual. Yet, non-deductions of taxes and social security, non-issuance of an insurance cover, and even work agreement cannot make the individual be in the status of an individual contractor. Meaning, they do not make strong determinants of the real status deserved by the individual. As mentioned earlier, it is more essential to look at whether the individual has a control over his own working hours, whether he executes service to other companies as well, and whether the company he is contracted with does not impose any stringent factors that end up controlling the individual. If the answers to these are all No, then despite the non-deductions and signed work agreement, the individual has the status of an employee. In this sense, he or she deserves to be covered by any insurance policy held by the company receiving the rendered service. It happens in many cases that companies would take an individual as an individual contractor primarily to avoid paying taxes and issuing insurance privileges.
