[QUOTE=LukeVX]Hello my friends,

I will be traveling to England and France on my late honeymoon (had to save up the money, Married 1/1/05) on June 15.




I just went through the rental process to get a car in Italy. One of the things you must be aware of is that there are insurance costs in Europe that you don't normally have here in the US. These plus the taxes, road charges, etc., can more than double the quoted price.

Also there are some hefty deductibles involved. In some cases your US insurance and credit card company will help cover you -- but if you do have an accident you will be responsible for paying for the repairs and then collecting them from the credit company. If the car gets stolen, that could be a back breaker.

I did find an outfit that had competitive prices all over Europe and their insurance coverage had a ZERO deductible. They also were offering free upgrades, cell phones, etc., in certain countries. I'd give them a look before making any decisions.
