“You may not need the automobile insurance offered by Whip Inc. Your automobile insurance policy may provide coverage for your liability while operating a rental vehicle. You should check the terms and conditions of your automobile insurance policy to determine if coverage is provided for this rental. The purchase of insurance is not required as a condition of renting an automobile. In addition, if you are driving this rental vehicle due to an accident or repairs, state law may require your personal automobile liability policy to provide coverage and purchase of any excess liability coverage may duplicate coverage required by law to be provided by the owner of the rental vehicle. If our vehicle is a replacement vehicle as defined in section 17-104 of the Maryland Transportation Code, the liability insurance coverage on the vehicle being replaced (your vehicle) is primary, and any liability coverage we provide on the vehicle is secondary.
