Also, quick question for those with a bit more insight on the terms and conditions. I have an upcoming 30 day rental for work, but I might use the car a few days for personal use in between and towards the end of the rental. It turns out the monthly rate is cheaper than 3 weeks, so I just plan to charge the rental to my card and submit for reimbursement. Would a joint personal/business purpose rental be handled any differently coverage wise?
it probably depends on your company's agreement/contract. if your company is allowing the rental, see if it needs to go on your corporate card for their insurances to be valid (it probably at the very least needs to be booked through their travel booking company and they may say decline all additional insurances - read closely). when i used to travel extensively for work, they had no problem with personal use on top of the normal business use when i was traveling on business. however, they may take issue if you are keeping the car beyond your business travel dates.

easiest example is... if you fly out to a client on jan 1 and fly home on jan 30, your rental car for the month of business while you are in the client location usually can be used for normal personal purposes between jan 1 and jan 30.
