Thanks a lot everyone for your help. The airlinenetwork site produced a very good price with the price seeming to cover the general insurances as well. Was that the case with you The Saving Man?? or did you pay any other waivers??

I do understand though that I will have to pay $20 plus tax per day as I am under the age of 25 which is fine. There will be two of us so we arent really looking for a major upgrade.

Thanks again for your help everyone it is very appreciated.

Just took the Platinum package and all that was included in that. Good luck and if you want give AN a call. Their price on the phone is the same as online, so you can go through it with a human who can answer questions and queries.

No other costs apart from the under 25 charge which they took from the credit card over there and we got sat nav which was an extra cost.

Also we got a parking ticket because we didn't park in the direction the traffic flows so be careful :rolleyes:

ouch - it is illegal also in the UK to park opposing oncoming traffic, but I believe only at night, which is just as well, given that traffic wardens don't need too much of an invitation!

& some areas don't like you reversing into parking spot - usualy the ones where you don't need a numberplate on the front of the car. I don't know if it's ticketable though.

We also got a parking ticket (wrongly issued) in San Fran the night before we were coming home. Despite a few phonecals to the relevant people, the ticket has never been actioned for me to appeal against it.

In San Fransisco don't park in the "don't park here on (insert day) between the hours of (insert times) to enable street cleaning" areas as you'll get towed.
