Orbitz Car Rental Insurance Fees - What a Joke

Not that I ever take the insurance but I decided to click on the How was it calculated link and this is what pops up:


Rental Car Coverage price calculation



Rental Car Coverage is calculated on a per calendar day basis at $9 per day. Each calendar day counts as a separate day of coverage. (i.e. A car picked up at 9:00am on Monday and returned at 8:00am on Tuesday will count as 2 days of rental car coverage.)

What a bunch of scumbags going by calendar day

Is it "Orbitz" insurance of some sort? Or insurance of the particular car vendor. And if so, what vendor?

Do not buy Orbitz car insurance

I purchased the car insurance with my rental as they solicited me daily. It was for a car rental through Orbitz for Fox in Shannon Ireland. The insurance was not acceptable in Ireland and I had to purchase different insurance. Now Orbitz refused to refund the useless insurance the my sold!
