RE: Do you really need extra insurance for a rental in Montana?
I hear you on those “loss of use” fees - they really do feel like something dreamed up in a boardroom just to see if anyone’s paying attention. I once got dinged for “excessive dust” after a week in a Mustang convertible...
RE: Finally found a decent insurance deal as a newbie driver
