But the CDP that Autoslash used was for USAA OFFICIAL TRAVEL and had a Liability Insurance Supplement as part of the rate. Hertz never asked for a USAA ID, but I wouldn't have had one if they had. Also this rate was about half of what most other rates were at the time.
First off,
every CDP applied via a 3rd party source regardless of what it is, shows up as "Official Travel" when you look it up on Hertz.com. Feel free to go and make a test reservation for Hertz directly with Priceline and enter any ol' random CDP on the Priceline checkout page. Then use that Hertz confirmation number and look up your test reservation on Hertz.com. Go ahead, we'll wait. Or you can just see
our test booking on Priceline here and
the resulting reservation lookup on Hertz.com.
Second, the USAA CDP
does provide extra liability. Don't believe us? Well, you can see it for yourself
right here on Hertz's website.
- Liability of USAA members and/or their insurance company is limited to the first $5,000 of collision damage to the rental car without purchase of the loss damage waiver. This limit does not apply if the terms of the rental agreement are violated.
- The primary liability remains with the rental car company. Hertz provides primary liability protection, up to $25,000 per person, to a maximum of $50,000 per accident, plus $10,000 for property damages.
Everything that AutoSlash does is above board and "legal" and we stand behind every booking we facilitate without question.
