Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Bridgeport?

When driving in Bridgeport or the rest of the U.S. of A., you'll need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you rent a car.

Many major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, give some coverage, however, there are usually restrictions. For instance, they may not cover your rental car if you reserve a larger or luxury vehicle. Check your rental car company's policy before you decide.

Before you leave the lot

• Get comfortable working the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
