Car rental fees you really don’t need.

Start a new discussion Back to forum list

We have all done it. You walk into the unfamiliar airport lobby and see a long corridor full of car rental companies. You have heard about most, some you don’t know from Adam. You need a car and you are running out of time. You stagger to the most inexpensive looking car rental company and ask for the daily price. Not bad at all, unexpectedly the price sounds rather reasonable. It is only when you have spent 10 minutes filling in annoying forms that you realize that the daily fee is only a small part of the big picture of car rental cost. By the time you get to the last paragraph of your encyclopedia of a car rental contract you are hit with an alphabet soup of initials that compose the insurance section, CDW (collision damage waiver), LDW (loss damage waiver), PAI (personal accident insurance), PEC (personal effects coverage) and ALI (additional liability insurance. All these insurance coverages are far from self explanatory and are often followed by a second tier of coverage levels.

Renting a car is in itself stressful in one considers the consequences of totaling a car rental in case of an accident. We are scared of the possibility of losing or damaging the car rental. The car rental company knows this and will sell you every car insurance and his dog in an effort to quench your thirst and hunger for security.
