🚘 KOHO Travel Insurance: What’s Required for Rental Car Coverage?

If you're a KOHO customer purchasing travel insurance, you have the option to add Rental Car Protection to your TuGo plan. This optional add-on can cover up to $75,000 for damage to a rental car — but only if a few key conditions are met.

🔒 First Things First: It’s Not Sold on Its Own

TuGo’s Rental Car Protection can only be purchased as part of a KOHO travel insurance policy. You’ll need to select it at the time of purchase, along with another plan like Emergency Medical Insurance or an All-Inclusive Package. It’s not available as a standalone policy.

✅ To Be Covered, You Must:

• Be a KOHO customer who added Rental Car Protection when buying travel insurance
• Rent from a licensed car rental agency (no peer-to-peer apps like Turo)
• Be listed as a driver on the rental agreement
• Have a valid driver’s license
• Use the vehicle for personal travel only (not commercial use or delivery)
• Follow all terms in the rental agreement

🚫 You’re Not Covered If:

• You rent from an unlicensed provider or a sharing app
• You accept the rental company’s collision damage waiver (CDW)
• You damage a replacement or exotic vehicle
• You break the rental terms (e.g. unauthorized driver, off-roading, or illegal use)
• Damage results from neglect, wear and tear, or mechanical failure

📝 For claims over $2,000, a police report is required.

💡 What’s Not Included:

This add-on only covers damage to the rental vehicle. It does not cover:

• Medical costs (those fall under Emergency Medical Insurance)
• Liability (damage or injury to other people or vehicles)
• Stolen items from the car
• Roadside assistance
