National Car Hire - USA

bingo_bango

I have already booked a car with National in Las Vegas, and the following is a list of what is included in the price:

Loss Damage Waiver
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI) (USA/CA: up to $1 mil)
Per day
Conc Rec 10 %
Clark County Tax 2%
Per day
Sales Tax
Gov Fee
Unlimited Mileage
10% Discount

My question is, do I need to consider taking anything else at their end, or do I need to take out a comp policy here instead?

I'd be happy with that lot - alternatively, some people choose to take out an additional policy that will cover damage to tyres, wheels, windscreen, underside of car etc.

I'd also be donloadings maps of the areas that you will be travelling in, onto your mobile phone to use offline as a Sat Nat, which will saving being stiffed for a Sat Nav/GPS rental by National (assuming your vehicle isn't Sat Nav equipped)

If you get a chance to select your car, select one with Climate Control rather that air con.

Already downloaded the maps, and not really concerned about the additional damage cover as I'll mostly be on the Interstate.

As for the air con issue, it's a Mustang convertible (or similar) so I'm not sure how much choice their will be. Good point well made though.

Enjoy your travels :beer:.
If you head along Death Valley, look after yourself in the heat (which is where CC comes into its own). Also see if your Mustang has remote start !
