What is a certificate of Insurance (COI) for picture cars?

Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars

A Certificate of Insurance, or COI, is an official document proving that the production carries adequate insurance to cover liability and property damage involving the rented picture car.

The COI should name both the production company and the vehicle owner as additionally insured parties. Car owners should always obtain and review a valid COI before allowing their vehicle to leave their possession. Coverage amounts, deductible terms, and exclusions vary and should be reviewed with care before signing any rental agreement.
