Taking Your Driving Test with a Rental Vehicle:
Here is what to keep in mind if you are considering using a rental vehicle for your driving test:
- Authorized Driver: The person taking the test must be listed on the rental agreement as an authorized driver.
- Test-Friendly Rental: Make sure the rental company permits using their vehicles for driving tests. Some agreements might have exclusions for this purpose.
- Insurance: You must show proof that the rental vehicle is covered by liability insurance either by accepting the liability damage waiver when you rent the rent the vehicle or by showing proof that your personal auto liability insurance covers rental vehicles.
Note: An assigned driver license number for the testing applicant must be entered when scheduling for a driving test.
