    The additional insurance on a rental car is the only way to fly. For about $30 per day you can beat the living fuck out of the car.
    When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.

    Dale, have you actually ever had a claim?

    I bought airline tickets, rental car, trip and car insurance online at Travelocity. After the fact I find out the insurance is with a third party not Enterprise. It was a major cluster, and they aren't real forth coming with any of that on the front end.

    Yes. I turned the car in and walked away. But I didn't buy third party insurance.

    When you rent a car you are responsible for anything that happens to it. If you return it with a ding you have to pay to fix the ding and pay for the time the vehicle is out of service waiting for the ding to be repaired. Often your auto insurance covers this, however its a major PITA because (as you found out) they want the money NOW.

    When I rent its mostly from Hertz, they are self insured and there car coverage is a waiver not insurance so it waves your responsibility to the repair/damage, you just walk away.
    Let us skip the other lies, for brevity’s sake. To consider them would prove nothing, except that man is what he is—loving toward his own, lovable, to his own,—his family, his friends—and otherwise the buzzing, busy trivial, enemy of his race—who tarries his little day, does his little dirt, commends himself to God, and then goes out into the darkness, to re-turn no more, and send no messages back—selfish even in death.

    I found out a few years ago a couple of reasons why they self insure.

    #1. They make a big profit they don't have to share.
    #2. They pay to fix the cars themselves, and ergo nothing ever gets put into CarFax.
