That saves you $10-25 a day. The reservation screen will tell you that the Loss Damage Waiver is included, however you will not be covered unless you belong to the university. So you will need to make sure that you're insured. You can either get a third party policy through Travel Guard ($7) a day, or check if you have coverage through your insurance policy.
The contract IDs I have found work best are 5001514 and 5002341.
Hey Siudude, I just went to national and reserved a car using the contract id's you listed. I booked it for orlando international airport and chose counter service. What will I need to show at the counter about the contract. I as well am a "young renter". Im 24 years old. I just wondered if there is anything i have to do or if they will tell me I have to pay the extra fees. thank you for your help
