Looks a good rate, but probably assumes you are a US resident with your own US insurance, which costs us more.

When I looked it up I tried it with U.K residency and the rate was the same.  I know nothing of the differences in insurance.  Do you guys get some sort of coverage included with your regular auto insurance or credit cards?

I didn't check your link, but one year I thought I'd found a stunning rate (I found a code for veterans or somesuch). On further investigatoin, it included no insurance included at all, as it was for US insurance holders only.

For us Brits, there seem to be all kinds of insruance options which we are encouraged to take out, over and above the standard - SLI, CDW etc.

Still, I'll check it out when I have time!

Just pay with your credit card, instant insurance!

Only certain cards I think - gab thought his Amex got free insurance. Also need to be sure that it gets you the right level of insurance.

That is true, with my american lisence, they do not seem to offer all the extra insurance options, they must think I already have ample protection. Usually, master card covers the normal protection, except of course for the LDW.

...wrong Smokie, :-X GAB didn`t think that he got free insurance with his AMEX card, GAB thought he got additional insurance with his motorclub VISA creditcard ??? and since he was not 100% sure he and Smokie were bluffed into not using the card by a fast talking salesman at some rinky-dink no-name car rental agency at MCO. >:( GAB has sinced verified with his motorclub that the purchased insurance was indeed an overkill and will never again pay for redundant insurance.  ;)

Who's going then?

Anyone booked yet?

I might have to go as I have to use some hols before April.

I just remembered my tent got thrown this year as it proved not to be waterproof, the ducks enjoyed swimming around in it though...

I'd love to go, but personal circumstances prohibit that.  :'(

This film should be played at high volume, so don't come complaining about it! And who the hell is Steve?
