As an example this was a case in point from March this year, renting from Atlanta:
On
http://www.driveaway.com.au I got for 4 days a
$A348 all up price which it says covers - and it is clearly an Alamo car as it says so!:

Go to Alamo website and choose same Chevvy Cavalier for same 4 days, same ATL collect and drop, and tick insurance and I got
$A423.51 all up. Or about $A80 difference.
However the ANZ policy covered injury to US pax in the car I believe, unless we were negligent, and the other covers did not.
