Rental Car Insurance Question
Last year, I visited my parents in FL. I reserved a rental car online from E-Z Rental Car, since they were the cheapest price.
When I got to their counter in Orlando International Airport, they asked me if I wanted insurance. I said, "No, I will put this on my Mastercard", hoping that would suffice. They returned with "Oh, you HAVE to have insurance here in FL. We don't rent out our cars without it". I was thinking, "Wait a minute. I clicked on the agreed price on the website, and now they have suddenly tacked on an extra $100 or so for mandatory insurance ??" I didn't have time to argue and just wanted to get to my parents, so I just agreed to their "mandatory" car insurance. So my question is, "Is that legal ?? Have you guys encountered anything like this while renting cars ????" Yesterday, I rented from Enterprise to again visited my parents this coming holiday season. Their price was came in the cheapest, and I am hoping this same scenario would NOT play itself out again. I'm also wondering what to say if they ask me if I want insurance. Thanks for any advice....
