Which type of auto symbol would relate to vehicles rented by the insured?

Symbol 8 specifically refers to "hired automobiles," which include vehicles rented by the insured. This symbol is part of the standard personal auto policy and is crucial for ensuring that coverage extends to vehicles that the insured does not own but has leased or rented for their use. Understanding these symbols is important for both ensuring that policyholders have the appropriate coverage and for producers to accurately explain different coverage aspects to clients.

The other symbols relate to different types of vehicle usage and ownership. For instance, Symbol 7 pertains to specifically owned vehicles not included under other symbols, while Symbol 9 refers to non-owned autos used in business. Symbol 10 covers autos belonging to employees, partners, or members of the insured's household, but does not address rented vehicles. Thus, Symbol 8 is the appropriate choice when discussing coverage for vehicles rented by the insured.
