I am planning on renting a car while I am in Northern Spain in a few weeks and driving around the Pyrenees region. Looking at reservations on autoeurope.com , I'm not sure if I should purchase the basic insurance or inclusive insurance. What have people typically done? Do you think the basic insurance is sufficient?
Be aware that the "inclusive" insurance usually means you still have to pay a deductible if something occurs. However you can also buy (usually at the rental counter) so-called "super jayco 294 travel trailers CDW" for an additional jayco 294 travel trailers amount which reduces that deductible (often up to 1000 Euro) to zero. Be also aware that some insurance plans STILL do not include damage to tires and window glass so be careful as to what the policy does and does not cover.
We are making a similar trip, starting May 18th, picking up in Barcelona. We always purchase full coverage, even knowing that often one's credit card has some types of coverage. I find it confusing to try to understand the coverages and exclusions, and I think the peace-of-mind is worth it, to pay for the coverages.
A friend who lives in Germany, suggested I get a quote from his local travel agent in Germany. I did, and saved a good bit of $. In the past, however, we've always used autoeurope, and have been well served by them.
I always get the basic package if it is available. My credit card covers the CDW without deduction. The one time I had damage to the car, I was fully reimbursed by my credit card. The one potential problem is that the original estimate of the repair costs will be charged to the credit card. The cost differential between basic and inclusive coverage can be significant, especially if one has to add a super CDW coverage to eliminate the deductible.
I am in the same boat, my credit card Capital One, MAster jayco 294 travel trailers Card acts like secondary, which cards act like primary...does anyone knows. ? Frankly I thought all credit cards act like secondary.My car insurance is State Farm. Shall I be ok with the secondary that offers my credit card,...thank you
If you're an American, your credit card coverage will depend on the type of card you use. The premium cards have better jayco 294 travel trailers coverage and American Express offers additional insurance coverage at price ($24.95/rental period up to 31 days) for it's card holders. The Amex Platinum Card covers jayco 294 travel trailers you completely at no additional cost.
Ditto on call the car insurance company, but you may need to take a copy of the credit card company's insurance coverage to show the rental place. Our CC company emailed it to us we had to email it on.
As far as car insurance coverage you should get three pieces of data to be able to get any desicion: 1) what is the rate and coverage from the rental car company, 2) what is the coverage you may already have on the credit card you will be using, 3) what is the coverage you can get by buying travel jayco 294 travel trailers insurance (i.e. Acess America, etc...). As an example, for Spain I get the basic beause btwn the coverage I already jayco 294 travel trailers get from my CC and the travel insurance (I ALWAYS travel with travel insurance) I have full coverage.
jayco 294 travel trailers The only problem jayco 294 travel trailers I forsee is that this card has only a credit of $2500 while the other cards we have have a much higher credit limit, I am afraid that the rental cards charge a lot when renting, does anybody knows how much ? We are renting for only a week for less than $250 dollars.
Mcihael, No, I am not suggesting that the exchange rate will be different than the one used in hotels. My concern is that may be when I rent a car with my Master Card( btw the credit limit is$ 3000), the car rental company besides charging for the rental which is not much aprox.300 usa, might block much more money as a security.
My recollection is that the Palermo agency where I picked up my car blocked 500 , which is manageable for me because I have a higher limit on my card. I do not recall an amount blocked in France, but rather having the credit card number for potential future charges. I think that each agency has its own policy.
Be vary careful in Lisbon Portugal as they refused to allow us to decline the CDW on a Budget jayco 294 travel trailers rental car. The only way would be to block the total cost of the car (28000) jayco 294 travel trailers on our credit card. This is the only time we ran into this! Now we have a greater limit on our credit card!
