Headed For The Land Down Under

Row, meet ducks.. Plus how can one beat the reliable destination advice and go-with or meet-up offers extended by forum members for when you're there..?

It all adds up to sounding like a great trip in the making, Mitchel..! ?

It seems now I would be getting the same car.  How is it?  Can you sleep in it?  haha

On the insurance, my insurance company here will not cover anything outside of the United States.  My credit card will cover the collision up to $50,000 which is a savings of $11 a day on insurance.  Neither credit card or rental car talks about liability coverage.

Who offers that?

Ok, I think I just found the Holy Grail of rental car insurance information.  I feel better knowing the liability is included with the car registration fee.  The 'insurance' is basically against how much you would pay in the event of an accident but you are not going without insurance if you don't take the rental car company's excess policy.  My Visa card should take care of this.  They want me to use the card!  haha
