interesting about the insurance

and regarding the bogus damage scams, another place unscrupulous rental companies will accuse you of damage is under the front and rear bumpers....like from curbs or parking blocks if you pull up to them too closely...you don't see the damage/scuffs unless you bend down and look under the car...i doubt these ever actually get repaired, so make sure to take VIDEO of these areas, (as well as the rest of the car), when taking possession....and let the agent know you're taking video...otherwise you could be on the hook for the damage caused by others, and that the rental agency may have already been reimbursed several times over by previous customers
