Thanks, MileKing!
Here's my DETAILED scenario:
- This is for a rental in Northern California
- I've got 3 valid UA coupons, and 3 expired ones.
- I'd like to keep the car 3 days, but I'd need to pick it up Saturday noon and drop it off on Tuesday noon.. they would charge more for the Mon-Tue (weekday) portion. So, I'm only renting for 2 days (dropping off Monday instead) and having a friend drive me around on Monday/Tuesday.
- I live in NYC, so i sold my car years ago
- Because of the above, I don't have car insurance. According to my (NEA) credit card, I have to charge at least one full day to get insurance coverage, but I still have to pay for 2 days worth of liability insurance.
- I'm traveling with my brother, who has his own insurance, but he's only 24 3/4, which would cost $20 a day (surcharge) at certain companies (Avis won't even rent to him)
Taking all of the above into account, I've decided to use 2 UA certs to get one free day (on my 2 day rental). Since I'm paying for 1 full day, my credit card covers my damage insurance, while I pay extra for the liability insurance. Overall costs for 2 weekend days, with liability insurace and (credit card) damage insurance: about $45
Am i missing anything? Is there something else I should be looking into?
Thanks again!
