Buffalo is the second largest urban setting in the state of New York, America. This city is full of many surprises ranging from the chicken wing sufferings to the snow mountains and sports teams. It also draws a lot of admiration from most travelers due to its good museums, cultural attractions and also great night life. The Buffalo airport serves both the city of Buffalo and also Niagara Falls as well. Most low cost airlines operate from this airport thereby making it among the busiest airports in the state. Common airline carriers at the airport include American Airlines, AirTran, JetBlue, Delta, US airways, Southwest and United airways.

One of the aspects of car hire at Buffalo airport just like in other airports and cities is the insurance/ waiver. Even though it is not stated explicitly, companies offering rental services are required that they provide some minimal liability coverage on car hires. But certain providers of these critical services argue that the driver is responsible solely for anything while using the car. It is essential that you check and confirm the position of the company you are dealing with on this issue just to be sure that you are on the same page in case something happens.

Just like in most places, it is illegal to drive in Buffalo without having liability coverage. Car rental companies usually have liability insurance maintained on their cars but some agencies do charge clients for this. Still, don’t book the car blindly but make a point of asking the customer service providers about their services on the issue. This will go a long way in ensuring that disagreements and confrontations do not arise in the wrong just because of a misunderstanding on the issue of insurance.

It is common that the car hire agency will offer you several forms of supplemental damage waivers and/ or insurance at an additional cost as optional extras. This coverage comes in different types such as loss damage waiver, supplemental liability insurance, personal effects coverage, excess insurance and as such. While this will of course increase the cost of renting the car but you should avoid companies that take advantage of this to inflate the price unreasonably. In this regard, it is advisable that you shop around from different providers and compare the rate they are charging. This will help you make an informed decision on the company you want to work with.
