I am looking to pick the brains of the regular US visitors.
A constant bugbear of mine is the amount I have to pay for CDW / SLI every time I hire a car in the USA.
I used to have an Amex Plat card that covered CDW and I paid an annual supplement for SLI. Now that I have got rid of the card I am back to paying the extortionate daily rates. Not only that, even though I have hired a car in the US on many occasions without a claim, I have to pay the same as first time hirers.
Has anyone got knowledge of a way round this, either by annual policy or prepayment in the UK?
Any hints gratefully recieved - except getting the Plat Amex card back
