If you will take a look at Post # 1457, you will see that this particular discussion was started in connection with a discount code that also provided insurance coverage. Then a reply was posted mentioning the Amex Premium coverage, and we were off to the races. For some of us, especially those who do not own a car, the insurance coverage provided by an AWD can be far more valuable than the discount off of the rental rate. (I used to rent almost exclusively from Avis because the Avis/AARP AWD once provided 100/300/25 liability insurance coverage at no extra charge. But alas, that is no longer the case.)

But I agree with Happy that the discussion about taking or declining LDW, Amex Premium coverage, etc., would best be continued (if at all) in a separate thread, especially since this topic is not limited to Avis rentals. I think that there was at least one such thread a while ago. Anyone want to start another one in TravelBuzz!?
