If you do not purchase insurance, you may be required to leave a credit card for the value of your car upon arrival.

| Did you know? Among other things, credit card car rental insurance
usually does not cover the cost of replacing each day's rental income, if the
rental car you damaged (or the car is stolen while you are responsible for the
car) prevents that car from being hired while it is in repair, to cover the
lost revenue the company has while a car in their fleet is not available for
hire. Renters are responsible for tires that have been damaged due to neglect, carelessness or in an accident during rental. This includes punctures, tires that have been run flat and tires with sidewall cuts and bulges. Make sure you check your tires at the time of rental! Parking, Speeding fines and Toll charges are the responsibility of the customer. |

17. GPS: GPS Daily Charge of €15 per day including VAT. Weekly Charge of €75 including VAT. Paid at rental location..
18. AND MOST IMPORTANT - Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. Small country lanes are very often narrow, with ancient thick walls of rock defining either side. Don't, however, shrink from driving such roads, as they can be avenues to beautiful scenery and fun to drive; but when doing so you must be almost constantly prepared to bring your vehicle to a crawl and negotiate some sort of compromise with the oncoming traffic, mostly cows and sheep.
19. YOU DO NOT NEED AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVERS LICENSE. YOUR HOME LICENSE IS FINE. DON'T LEAVE IT HOME, OR YOU WILL BE UNABLE TO RENT A CAR.
Did you know? You can have CDW coverage offered "free" by your credit card company but it often may only cover property damage (and that after a deductible), but it may not cover the loss of rental revenue for the company until the rental car is back in the fleet due to down time caused by whatever reason, damage or theft. CDW=Collision Damage Waiver has a deductible
Super CDW = Has a LOW deductible
