Some good info: If anyone has a United Mileage Plus Visa card, and mileage built up, (maybe other airline programs do this too, I don't know...) they can use their miles to pay for rental cars - we do this all the time. You just have to go to the website, click on the "redeem miles" section, then click on "any car rental, any time" or whatever it's called, make the reservation thru the site, pay with that credit card when returning the car, and then when the bill comes in you go back to the website and put in the info from the bill and you're reimbursed the money spent while mileage is deducted from your account. This can be done for hotels as well. We also use this system to get reimbursed the $60 yearly fee for the card itself. Seems a bit complicated, but it only takes a few minutes and it's worth it.[/quote

Damn! Now you've gone and told everyone! I've been doing that for years as trying to use the mileage for an actual flight doesn't work so well.Second Chance wrote:Will their own insurance allow for car rental costs?

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
