Explanation
Under Part D, if Other Than Collision (Comprehensive) is purchased, the policy pays transportation expenses such as rental car or rideshare cost following a theft of the covered auto, after a 48-hour waiting period. The standard amount is a daily limit (e.g., $20 or $30) up to a maximum aggregate (e.g., $600 or $900). Higher limits can be selected for an extra premium. Loss of use is not unlimited and is not restricted to public transit.
