This bill amends Section 27-7-6 of the General Laws to provide rental vehicle coverage under a private passenger automobile insurance policy. The coverage extends to a rented motor vehicle for a period of up to sixty consecutive days, regardless of negligence. The bill also requires the at-fault insurance carrier to provide coverage for a rental vehicle for at least seven days after the aggrieved party receives the total loss property damage check. Additionally, the bill provides coverage for loss of use of the rental motor vehicle, limited to the reasonable time to repair or replace the rental vehicle. The bill takes effect upon passage.
