Did she happen to mention whether she was renting from one of the

Some major credit cards give you theft and collision damage
insurance for car rentals paid for with their card. Here's the
description of the plan on my AMEX card:

I think letting the rental company charge you for the gas they put
in if you return with the fuel gage below the "F" mark isn't a bad
deal even at a significant premium price per gallon if it saves you
having to look for a gas station near the return lot in what quite
possibly be unfamiliar territory to you. And especially so if you're
worried about making a flight on time.



even if you think you bring it back completely full, you can be
charged $6.00 for every gallon that they can fit into that tank.

I rent a lot during any given year, and that's never happened to me.
