I have never bought the extra insurance for me, but correct me if I’m wrong, the charge that the rental company can levy for something like “lost opportunity to rent the car while being repaired” - this isn’t covered, is it?
Another unrelated comment - we went to the West coast for a week to drop our son off for his internship and I rented a sedan for $145/wk (sans insurance). When I settled the bill, it was sixty bucks more - turns out when I had added my wife as a second driver I had no idea that was another ten bucks a day and our friendly sales staff didn’t tell us and we didn’t read the fine print; don’t believe she sat in the driver’s seat once.
