Auto Insurance

Auto Insurance at The Ohio State University
All street legal, University owned, leased, or rented vehicles are covered by the University's insurance program. Similar to the property program, each accident will result in no more than a $10,000 loss to a department. The General Fund underwrites the remainder of the exposure.

For information regarding auto insurance, please see the FAQs provided on this site. You may also call Transportation and Parking, who administers our vehicle program at 292-6122.

If I rent a vehicle while traveling should I obtain the insurance from the rental agency?
Yes, you should obtain the rental insurance. This way you will not be subject to the $10,000 department deductible, and claims handling is done through the rental agency. Otherwise it can be very difficult for the University to settle a claim for an out of state accident.
