    car hire day charges if you pick up early or return late?

    Yes that seems to be the policy. The thing is I used to hire cars regularly and I'm certain Ive returned them late on many occasions... Its just that I never remember being charged any extra.....

    car hire day charges if you pick up early or return late?

    How do the car hire companies calculate the time of pickup and return. is it based on a 24 hour cycle? So for instance If I pickup a car at 11am and return it at 4pm 3 days later do I get charged for 3 days or 3 days and 5 hours? What if I make a booking from 4pm to 4pm but arrive early...

    QBE Annual - Have prices gone down (its 2X QFF points at present)

    I paid $350 for the same policy in July but for 2 people. My excess is $200. If you paid $800 perhaps your policy does not have an excess. In any case I am in the process of making a claim - that will be the true test of whether the cost is truly worth it.

    Insurance Coup; Triumph for AFF

    No car hire excess am I covered?

    Argus will charge me 2401.82 euro (more than 2x) for a Toyota Avensis or similar. Although Im sure its better (newer model) I cant justify the cost. I will need to seek out their CDW or purchase a policy from insurance4carhire for 79 squid.

    No car hire excess am I covered?

    yep understand.. unfortunately the insurance companies I have looked at including TID And SCTI are refusing to clarify. They just refer to the vague PDS like parrots.

    No car hire excess am I covered?

    Hi I am hiring a car in Greece for 5 weeks without CDW. My travel insurance offers excess payout of up to $4000 I know some insurance companies will ask you to take every measure possible to reduce their costs. But I feel I am obliged to reduce my costs and not take out the CWD. :) In this...

    Using point / pay options?

    well spotted however looks like they charge an additional 30k points and no luck in finding a direct one back. Maybe direct flights are booked out with europeans travelling back from holidays at that time....?? (but who would travel to melb in winter?) I will keep plugging away with the...

    Using point / pay options?

    Unfortunately all the direct QFF flights (that I can find) from MEL to HKG/SIN are via PER/SYD/BNE... that is very strange.... I would love to take the Jetstar flight out of MEL direct to BKK but I cannot find anything that beats the emirates flight SIN-DXB-ATH (with 12hr stopover) for...

    Using point / pay options?

    awesome advice, this is what I have come up with so far. My preference is to use my points to get into SE Asia and then get a cheap return flight to Athens. Id also prefer to use the 120,000 points to travel MEL-BKK as this is a direct flight as opposed to SGP and HKG. Unfortunately I cant...
