Insurance - do I NEED
Tyre and windscreen cover?
DH thinks we should however I have shown him all the comments but he's still undecided. We are doing a fair amount of driving - Miami to the keys, then up to AMI, then back to MIA. Thoughts anyone? |

Personally, its not something I bother with. If you're doing a lot of driving / road trips, then it might be worth considering. If you decide to take it, make sure to do it through a 3rd party and not directly with the rental companies as they're pretty expensive.

Have a look at Auto Europe they have rentals that include this and are quiet decently priced this is what comes extra with your rental
ZERO EXCESS WITH EXTENDED COVER INCLUDING WHEELS, GLASS, UNDERSIDE AND ROOF OF VEHICLE.

We needed it when we were on a road trip in Washington state, we were 4 hours from Seattle when we got a loose chip thrown up and cracked windscreen. We simply waited in a Walmart carpark for 4 hours and Alamo brought us a new car on a low loader. We don't buy but otherwise if not on a road trip.

It’s not something someone else can answer for you. I guess the question is if you did get damage to the windscreen could you afford to replace it ? If not, its probably something you should get.

CDW with Alamo includes the screen. This was confirmed by a Dibber on here a few years ago.

Correct, we had a chipped/cracked windscreen with Alamo, kept the car as it wasn’t a issue, no problem on return of the car.
