Under Minnesota law, a personal automobile insurance policy must: (1) cover the rental of
the motor vehicle against damage to the vehicle and against loss of use of the vehicle; and
(2) extend the policy’s basic economic loss benefits, residual liability insurance, and
uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages to the operation or use of a rented motor
vehicle. Therefore, purchase of any collision damage waiver or similar insurance is not
necessary. In addition, purchase of any additional liability insurance is not necessary if
your policy was issued in Minnesota unless you wish to have coverage for liability that
exceeds the amount specified in your personal automobile insurance policy.
