What is the primary purpose of Transportation (Rental Reimbursement) Coverage?

2. Covers auto rental expenses incurred due to the insured vehicle being undrivable

3. Provides liability coverage for rental vehicles

4. Covers damages to a rental vehicle

The correct answer is: Covers auto rental expenses incurred due to the insured vehicle being undrivable

Transportation (Rental Reimbursement) Coverage serves a specific purpose related to the costs incurred when an insured vehicle is temporarily incapacitated due to a covered loss, such as an accident or theft. When the insured vehicle cannot be driven because it is being repaired, this coverage helps pay for the rental expenses incurred while a replacement vehicle is needed. This type of coverage is designed to mitigate the inconvenience and financial burden of being without personal transportation during the time the insured vehicle is inoperable. It is important to note that this coverage typically applies only to rental expenses directly related to the covered event that left the insured vehicle undriveable, reinforcing its role as a financial solution for transportation needs during repair periods.
