I think car rentals have been our #1 go-to for our miles over the years, but there is a fair bit of work involved in getting the best price. We never take any extra insurance on the car because our own policy covers rental vehicles (most policies that include a rental while yours is being fixed have this and if not a rider is less $$ than the rental agencies charge)I know some of you have used AM for car rental. I'm looking at a possible trip to WDW at the end of August. For a 10 day rental it's only 3010 miles and $95 in tax. I have no idea if that's a good deal but I like it and would go for it. When I rent I never have to take any insurance because I'm covered on my credit card for part of it and my home car policy for the other part. My question is....what does everyone do about insurance because I have to assume that my CC won't cover me because I'm not paying for the rental?
My first suggestion would be to play around with the rental periods .. last trip we did 2 back-to-back rentals, returning the car and then walking in a picking up another one and it saved us close to 1000 AM. Check all the locations around the property because the tax rates are different depending on the county they are in and if they need to charge an extra "hotel" tax. Decide how long you really need the car .. full 10 days or are you ok missing a few days in the middle or end? When you start your rental also determines the cost ... Fridays tend to be higher than Tuesdays. I LOVE this game so if you give me some particulars i can do some mock pricing for you
