Introduction
Learn best practices for adding drivers to be approved for protection package coverage.
To provide protection coverage on rental periods, there needs to be at least 1 verified driver in the system.
Things to know when adding drivers to a reservation
-
The verification is triggered when the reservation is "booked" or paid for. Meaning the system does not run the verification on QUOTES. Once the verification is triggered, the result will be completed in under a minute.
-
You MUST have at least 1 verified driver prior to the rental departure, otherwise the system will reject the insurance and refund any paid insurance fees to the renter. Additional drivers can be added to the reservation up until the departure date of the booking.
-
Make sure to include all requested information to ensure an accurate screening
-
Each individual must be added with their own unique information. You cannot use the same email address or phone number as another driver
-
Renters must be 25 years of age
It is your responsibility to make sure drivers are verified prior to handing off the keys to your vehicle.
