OT renting a car.

A friend just came back from Florida where she rented a car but took
none of the extras offerred.

The rental guy tried to sell her INSURANCE but she said she was
covered by her own insurance, but he said not for LOSS OF USE. What
does that mean, she can't use the rental car! Don't they just give
you another one if you break the first one?

That means that if she wrecks the car, or it's stolen, the rental
company is entitled
to compensation for the "loss of use", while the car is gone or being
repaired.
They can't rent out and earn money for what they don't have.

They can make a case for loss of use IF, AND ONLY IF, they rented EVERY
OTHER car on the lot.

Not true. If customer demands a car of that type, and they don't have
it they can/do lose money for loss of business. Not everyone wants a
compact car or an suv.
