For domestic rentals, the College’s insurance will cover the individual
as well as the vehicle when the vehicle is rented for business purposes;
therefore, employees should not sign (or initial) for additional insurance
coverage provided by car rental companies.
Travelers must use the JPMorganChase Corporate Card to receive free primary
collision damage waiver (CDW) insurance for the value of a rental vehicle.
This reduces the College’s expenditures for any accidents, and will
prevent you from potentially incurring a personal expense of $500 for the
deductible due to any at-fault accidents. This coverage is currently available
worldwide, and includes automobiles, mini-vans and sport utility vehicles
traveling on municipal, state and federally maintained roads. Travelers
not using the JPMorganChase Corporate Card will not be reimbursed should
they select the CDW insurance coverage.
Employees extending their travel for personal reasons will need to acquire
separate insurance coverage for the personal segment of their trip. The
College will not reimburse for this additional insurance. Spouses or friends
traveling with a Dartmouth employee will not be covered by the College's
insurance and should acquire separate insurance coverage.
College owned/leased departmental vehicles or motorized equipment and
the fleet of VOX rental vehicles are insured for auto liability (bodily
injury and property damage), comprehensive, and collision coverage as appropriate.
In case of damage to a College owned/leased or rental vehicle, it is the
responsibility of the department to fund the cost of the deductibles: $100
per claim for comprehensive and $500 per claim for collision.
