Okay, but that still doesn't explain how my quote for a three-day trip rose from $70 to $240! (and that's the least expensive coverage) It also doesn't explain why the OTAs -- all of which
claim they show the "total" price for car rentals, at the time of booking -- fail to make any note of this mandatory coverage.
