rental car excess - when I researched this intensively before my US trip last Aug-Sep I found it only covered a relatively small difference in excess only, NOT the main insurance, and only AFTER you took out all the various main insurances for rental cars which pretty much seemed a rip-off to me.
I short - it didn't cover the main thing I was interested in, and only then after I'd paid for a lot of stuff I didn't want ...
in other words excess insurance is NOT main insurance - confuse them at your own risk!
I ended up not renting a car because after a months heavy research I couldn't satisfy myself that I was covered for all likely risks. And cheap interstate buses for like $20 ended up way cheaper than the $50++ a day I would have paid anyway ...
