    Thanks Fun Time - OK to clarify . . .

    so if it says the total is £114. 28 and it include something called "super cover (excess waiver)", i still need to buy excess insurance separately??

    IF i dont', it will cost be an additional £94 from Thrifty directly at the airport? so what is the "super cover (excess waiver)" for?

    (but if I do pay the £94 I won't have to do the deposit on my CC) . . .

    The cost with Super Cover is £202, not £114

    Ah thanks FunTime, I misread it, it doesn't include Super Cover in that £114 quote, I read it that it did . . .

    OK all makes sense now, thanks
