Rental Cars

[Robert S. Thompson]

I was looking into renting a car this summer. I read the contracts for the various "insurances" (you have to hunt around a bit to find them). For the companies I looked renting from, I found that driving on dirt roads voided ALL coverages -- not just damage, but liability, towing, etc. I also discovered large variations in the rental car coverage provided by various credit cards. Bottom line: READ EVERYTHING CLOSELY.
