Car Rental Insurance in Puerto Rico
Insurance is the most confusing part of renting a car. JF Car Rental includes basic liability and collision coverage on every rental and offers full zero-deductible coverage as an upgrade — so you know exactly what is covered before you drive off.
What Is Included — Basic Coverage
Every JF Car Rental reservation includes basic liability and collision coverage at no extra cost. This satisfies Puerto Rico's mandatory insurance requirement and covers third-party bodily injury and property damage up to the policy limit.
Basic coverage carries a deductible for damage to the rental vehicle. The deductible amount is shown on your rental agreement at pickup.
Full Zero-Deductible Coverage (Optional Upgrade)
For peace of mind, upgrade to full zero-deductible coverage at checkout. This waives your financial responsibility for damage to the rental vehicle from collision, theft, vandalism, and weather — you pay nothing out of pocket for covered damage.
Full coverage is priced per day and shown clearly in your total before you pay. It is recommended for visitors, first-time Puerto Rico drivers, and anyone renting SUVs or luxury vehicles.
Does My Credit Card Cover Rental Car Insurance in Puerto Rico?
Many major credit cards offer secondary rental car coverage when you pay for the rental with the card. However, coverage varies by card issuer and typically excludes SUVs, luxury vehicles, and rentals longer than 30 days. It is also secondary, meaning it pays after your personal auto insurance.
We recommend confirming your card's specific rental coverage terms before declining the optional full coverage upgrade.
Does My Personal Auto Insurance Cover Rentals in Puerto Rico?
If you carry comprehensive and collision coverage on your personal vehicle, it often extends to rental cars within the United States and its territories — including Puerto Rico. Liability may also extend through your policy. Check with your insurer, and note that filing a claim on your personal policy can affect your rates.
Many travelers prefer the optional full coverage upgrade to avoid personal-policy claims and deductibles altogether.
Tolls & Additional Protections
Puerto Rico uses AutoExpreso electronic tolls. Our optional Toll Program is a flat one-time fee that covers toll usage during your rental, tabulated and settled after return — no per-toll surprise charges.
Roadside assistance is included on every rental: flat tires, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing to the nearest service location at no additional charge.
