North American tourism, life car rental Raiders, to go to the United States speed collection Oh!


Traveling in the United States, public transportation in many places can't get you to your destination. In order to move around more freely and do not want to make long-distance journeys of their cars from the east to the west, or from the north to the south, car rentals have become the first choice for many people.
Renting a car in North America is actually very convenient. If you haven't rented a car before, then this Raiders will help you.

basic knowledge:

Starting from the beginning of the booking, the rent will generally increase as the date of pick-up is approaching, so it is advisable to complete the reservation online as soon as possible. General online reservations do not require advance payment and can be changed at any time. For those who have not yet completed the journey, they can rent it first, and then make changes according to the actual situation.

For the itinerary, after booking, you can also pay attention to the car rental price from time to time. If there is a downward adjustment or a new coupon appears , you can rebook to get a lower price. There are also many companies that support online payment at the same time. In this case, there will be preferential prices.

In the same car rental company, the unit price at each business site is not necessarily the same. The price at the airport business office is more expensive than the non-airport business office, because there will be surcharges, such as Airport Access Surcharge , but usually the airport business hours are the longest operating hours. Moreover, the procedures for returning the car are relatively fast. The airport also has the advantage of having more cars, and can often receive free upgrades when picking up the car .

Many airlines are linked to car rental agencies , such as Southwest 's website, which can be rented directly. Not only can car rentals have discounts, but they can also earn additional Rapid Rewards® credits (Southwest points ) , but bookings in this way must be booked. Pay when you finish.

Coupon on car rental by google search is the first choice, followed in daily life there are a lot of coupon sources, such as AAA, Costco members often discounted price of each car rental company, the airline will often receive coupon.

The choice of car model when renting a car is also very particular. Take Enterprise as an example. If considering price and comfort comprehensively, we recommend Standard or Full Size ( Some companies Standard and Intermediate collectively referred to as Midsize) . These two models are suitable for four or less people. In the short-distance travel, Compact or Intermediate is enough for two short- distance travel. Long-distance travel is recommended for medium-sized SUVs . Both safety and comfort are higher than those mentioned above. If there are more people ( five or more ) , Minivan will compare them. Suitable.

Even with the same Standard , different cars are very different. For example, Mazda 5 has 7 seats (7 seats have almost no trunk ) , Honda CRV and Kia Rondo are similar to SUVs , and the space for seats and trunks are relatively large.

It's also worth noting that some companies have 2 or 4 doors for the Standard model . Although most of them are 4 doors , they will be sold out during the peak season and may only have 2 doors .

Full Size is all 4 doors and the rent is almost the same . It's safer for the three or four people to travel together or book Full Size . Booking on the Internet can only determine the model such as standard or SUV . It can not be specific to which car. When picking up the car at the business point, the on-site staff can show all the eligible vehicles for selection.

If there is an accident during the journey, the vehicle is damaged. Usually, the car rental company does not handle it when it returns the car. Instead, it sends mail afterwards to request repair costs. The specific insurance issues are described later.

The larger and most common car rental firms are: Hertz , Enterprise , Avis , Budget , Dollar , Alamo , National , Thrifty, etc.

Car insurance

Let's take a look at the major insurance provided by the car rental company:

1. LDW/CDW (Loss/Collision Damage Waiver)

2. LIS (Liability Insurance Supplement)

3. PAI (Personal Accident Insurance)

4. PEC (Personal Effects Coverage)

LDW/CDW rents the car, LIS protects third parties, like the car you bumped, PAI protects your car, PEC protects your personal belongings in the car, but in many cases we don’t need to Car dealers buy insurance. For example, the renter has his own insurance or a credit card that can cover rental car insurance.

There are two points that need to be explained : First, the LIS is a type of insurance that the government requires to drive. It is illegal to drive without this insurance ; the other thing is that the insurance provided by the car rental company is paid in the first place, as long as they buy theirs. Insurance does not require insurance provided by your own insurance or credit card if an accident occurs.

Check out the Auto Car Rental Insurance policy for each credit card :

American Express credit card to his house domain registration Premium Car Rental Protection, registration is free, but each rental will be deducted from $ 19.95 or $ 24.95 (the higher one kind of sum insured), although still have to spend money, but AmericanExpress this time Car Insurance As long as it is within the time limit set by its policy, no matter how long it takes to rent a car for a fee, it is a good time to use it for a long time.

What's more important is that this insurance is primary , that is to say, they are paid in the first place and have nothing to do with your insurance company, and their insurance includes PAI and PEC in addition to LDW/CDW .

VISA (Standard, Rewards, Premium) , MasterCard (Black, Platinum, Gold), Discover (Platinum, Miles, Motiva, Titanium), as well as unregistered above the Protection of American Express cards, covers only the LDW / CDW, at no extra charge Fees, but their insurance is secondary/supplemental .

This means that if you have your own insurance, including LDW/CDW , it will be paid in advance by your insurance company. If the amount paid exceeds the maximum amount of your insurance company, then there will be a credit card company.

Attach a few tips:

1. Whether various types of cards of various credit card companies include such car rental insurance, the amount of insurance if there is insurance, the scope of insurance, the latest time limit for the claim, and the restrictions on models, time, and location will be different. Please use before you use. Check out a credit card manual or ask a credit card company.

2. In the event of an accident, car dealers are required to pay compensation in addition to the repair fee, and often have lost of use . Some credit cards indicate the scope of payment includes this fee, but even if it is included, sometimes the car will also claim Administrative Fee , the amount It may be hundreds, so in the end it is better to think clearly about using a credit card for free insurance or paying for insurance at a car dealership.

3. The claimants of the car dealership are all done by the company personally. It is easier for you to get necessary documents from the car dealers to claim against the credit card company. Some car dealership claims are handed to the third party agent and you may not be able to get it. These documents will increase the difficulty of claims.

4. Note the difference between a credit card company and a bank, such as the Citi Dividend Student Card . There are two kinds of VISA and MasterCard . If you have something to pay for, you are looking for a credit card company. It is best to have a designated phone number in your credit card. The credit card company can be reported immediately after the accident.

The following discussion of what people need to buy according to their own different situations:

1. You don't have any insurance on your own, just buy a full coverage on the line of insurance . If you are confident that you don’t have an accident, you can just buy LIS ( some state laws stipulate that LIS is included in the rental agreement. You can buy it without additional purchases, but there is a limit to the sum insured. Please check it before you rent a car ) .

2. You have a credit card with LDW/CDW , but you don't have your own insurance. Then you don't need to buy LDW/CDW at the dealership , because whether your card provides primary or secondary/supplemental insurance , credit card companies are One to pay people. In addition, you still need to purchase LIS .

3 , if you have your own auto insurance, semi-guarantee, you do not need to buy another LIS in the car ( most of the insurance company's LIS applies to rent a car, for some small insurance companies, it is recommended to consult the phone before renting a car ) . But some people would consider to LIS If you do not buy a car trip, an accident own insurance company pay future premiums will go up, so they still bought LIS dealers, so you do not need to own insurance companies were paid.

4. If your own auto insurance is a full insurance, please refer to Article 3 above for information on LIS . If the full warranty of the collision and comprehensive parts do not apply to the rental car ( please consult the insurance company first ) , please refer to the second article above ; if applicable to the car rental, the LDW/CDW situation is more complicated: if you have American Express credit card, car rental It will automatically deduct the corresponding fee, because the insurance is primary , so the accident is the first payment of American Express , does not involve your insurance company ; if you are other company's credit card, insurance is secondary/supplemental , then after the accident Your own insurance company pays the first compensation, and the excess is issued by the credit card company.

5. Regarding PAI , please check whether your HealthInsurance policy contains accidents that occur when you go out to play.
