NevadaShort-term car lessors may require insurance proof from renters
Nevada law allows short-term car lessors to ask renters for proof of minimum insurance and to offer temporary coverage when proof is unavailable.
What it does
Short-term car lessors may require renters to show insurance meeting Nevada’s minimum coverage rules. Without proof, they may offer temporary coverage or refuse the rental if it is declined.
Argument forRenters without proof of insurance could get a temporary policy through the lessor or a referral, making a short-term rental possible.
Argument againstA renter who lacks proof and declines temporary coverage could be refused the car, limiting access to short-term transportation.
More detail
A short-term car lessor may require a person to show proof of insurance before leasing a passenger car. This applies to people seeking to lease passenger cars from short-term lessors. The proof must show at least the minimum insurance coverage required by NRS 485.185. If the person cannot provide proof, the lessor may sell or refer the person to a temporary policy meeting those minimums. The temporary policy may not cost more than the standard market rate for similar policies. If the person refuses to buy temporary coverage, the lessor may refuse to lease the car. The act becomes effective upon passage and approval.
