Coverage overview
**Personal Accident Insurance (PAI)** pays medical expenses for driver/passengers injured in a rental crash, typically **$5–$10/day** at CONRAC. US travelers with employer health insurance or PIP (Personal Injury Protection) on their auto policy often duplicate PAI benefits. PAI may include **accidental death** benefits up to **$175,000** per person on standard corporate forms — verify the pamphlet at counter. Skip PAI when your credit card or travel insurance already includes **$50,000+** emergency medical abroad. For visitors without US health coverage, compare PAI vs a standalone travel medical policy for the full trip (often better value for 7+ days). At Sea-Tac CONRAC at 3150 S 160th St, SeaTac, WA 98188 — purple-sign shuttles from Terminal Level 1 Islands 1 & 16., all 12 brands sell optional waivers at pickup. Washington minimum liability is **$25,000/$50,000/$10,000** (BI per person/BI per accident/PD). Kayak SUV avg **$61/day** before waivers. CFC **$7/day** + ACRF **11.1%** apply regardless of insurance choice. **Dashcam note:** PAI covers occupant medical costs in a crash — dashcam does not replace health insurance or PAI; it may corroborate accident timing for claims. *…
Full knowledge guide →Dashcam & telematics at CONRAC
Major brands at 3150 S 160th St may use dashcam, GPS, or toll-transponder logging on select fleet units — policies vary by agency (Enterprise, Hertz, Avis disclose in rental agreements). Photograph all four sides plus the windshield before exiting the garage; timestamped photos are your best defense if prior damage is flagged on return. Dashcam footage typically supports liability disputes, not waiver claims — CDW/LDW still governs vehicle damage.
Prior accident & damage disclosure
A prior collision on your record or undeclared damage on the vehicle does not automatically void optional waivers — but agents may require higher deposit holds ($200–$750), restrict premium classes, or note existing scratches on the checkout form. Declining CDW/LDW without equivalent credit-card or personal-auto coverage leaves you liable for full repair cost even when damage predates your rental. Report new incidents within 24 hours and keep police reports for theft claims.
Coverage-specific FAQs
Does CONRAC use dashcam recording on rental cars?
Select fleet units at Sea-Tac CONRAC may have dashcam or telematics — check your rental agreement at pickup. Walk-around photos before leaving the garage protect you regardless of fleet equipment.
Will a previous collision affect my waiver coverage?
Prior collisions on your driving record rarely void CDW/LDW outright, but counters may increase deposit holds or restrict vehicle classes. Undeclared pre-existing damage on the car is a separate issue — document it at pickup.
