For University of California Students and Staff only:
The University of California will not reimburse for added car insurance when
you rent a car, so if you don't personally have insurance that covers car rentals,
the University has negotiated car rental agreements (for UC staff & students
only) with several car rental companies that include insurance. University agreements
cover any damage sustained by the rental vehicle and provide increased liability
coverage. In order to be covered you must identify yourself as a University
employee on University business and provide the applicable UC ID# found at the
web site below. For reservations and UC ID numbers, go to the following web
site.
