A single trip policy will cover you for one continuous rental period lasting between 1 and 31 days. An annual policy will cover you for multiple trips within a 12-month period from the date your policy starts. With an annual policy, you can have as many rental agreements as you want, but no single rental period should exceed 60 days.
