So - I am leaving for Coz. on Friday and this time I have a rental car. (For some reason, it was cheaper to book the hotel/car combo on Orbitz rather than the hotel alone). I have been to the island many times, but never used a car. I am not worried about finding my way around, but am worried about the insurance thing and what happens if there is a mishap. I really don't want to spend time in jail... :shocked2:I know I need to buy the full coverage, but should I do that ahead of time or when I get there? Do they jack up the price if you wait until you arrive?
I would appreciate any words of wisdom that those of you who have used a car there might share. I am a single female and don't want to be taken advantage of at the counter. I know sometimes they assume the ' gringa touristas' aren't on top of things. BTW, I am using Hertz there by the airport.
I really like the idea of having the car to get around, but am not yet convinced it is worth the risk/hassel.
