A typical motor insurance policy would restrict the use of the insured vehicle to social
domestic
and
entertainment purposes only. Therefore, if you rent out your vehicle in return for rental
fees,
you
would be acting in breach of your policy conditions. This breach of policy conditions
entitles
your
insurer to void the policy, and deny claims for damage and injury due to an accident arising
from the
use of the vehicle.
It is normal for motor insurance policies to exclude coverage if
your car is
rented out. You are advised to inform your insurer and request for coverage if you intend to
rent out
your vehicle for a short duration. If they accede to your request, an additional premium may
be
chargeable.
