As per Policy Ch2-s2-01 Travel, Meals, and Hospitality (section 8.4.5), insurance is noted as follows:
"No vehicle rental insurance should be purchased from the vehicle rental agency when travelling on College business for less than 7 days. Employees are to accept Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for rentals that are 7 days or more only if the rental is not being paid for using the college Travel Card (T-card). Vehicle rentals should be paid for using a College Travel card to ensure appropriate insurance coverage."
Additional information on the policy is available at https://www.confederationcollege.ca/policies-and-procedures
If you have a long-term rental, please inform Anne as to who will be driving the vehicle so she can register the vehicle and driver(s) with the insurance company.
A caution that any rental vehicles should be rented in the name of Confederation College. Renting a vehicle in your own name would put your personal liability insurance first in line if, unfortunately, you became involved in any accident liability claims.
