A related question...
I read the following clause in an Thrifty agreement:
Any damage sustained to a vehicle taken
into NT or WA as a result of a collision with an animal between the hours of dusk and dawn will not be covered by Thrifty’s loss or damage cover. All damages and recovery costs will be the responsibility of the hirer.
In reading multiple card agreements none of them have language that excludes their insurnace for 'htting an animal at night'. Nor do any have language that says 'we will not cover you for an accident occuring at a time when the rental agency excludes coverage'
Note, this text doesnt says 'it isnt permitted'...just 'you arent covered'. Hence an card policy that says "Or you use the car in a manner or in a location that is not permitted by the rental agency"
Likewise, card agreements will occasionally say 'if you drive it somewhere they do not allow'...but nothing about WHEN.
Thoughts? Rather rent Thrify versus Avis as Thrifty has a $0drop fee...
