Do I Really Need Insurance for Rental Cars?

While traveling somewhere, rental cars tend to be one of the most expensive factors in your vacation budget. You’ve paid for the flight, hotel, and car. Now the rental agency is asking if you would like to add an additional $40 per day to be covered under rental car insurance. Nothing’s going to happen, so why spend the money, right? Wrong. The unexpected can happen at any moment, and whether an accident is your fault or not doesn’t matter. What matters is that if the rental car does experience any damage to it, you’re going to be picking up the tab. So before you deny the option to purchase rental car insurance, you will want to make sure you really know how perilous you are being.

Even with cheap rental cars, most people still do not want to splurge on the additional bill to provide their rental car with insurance. Every penny counts in today’s economy, so why spend it on something like that? Well, there are a few reasons. The main one being that if someone rear ends you, even just barely taps you and leaves a nickel sized dent, you’ll be footing the bill for it along with a damage fee. This can very quickly add up to a hundred or even a few hundred dollars. If damage is more severe, then obviously the damage on your credit card will be as well. For that extra $40 a day you could have avoided any damage costs on the car. With a car rental comparison, you can see what company’s insurance covers more. Some agencies will only cover minor damage and make you cover the rest, whereas other agencies may provide complete coverage for any damage and if the car is stolen. Quite obviously, the second option will be the better. Things happen every day that are not expected, and you don’t want to go into debt because of those things. Car rental comparison is an essential part of deciding which agency to go with on your next trip.

When looking for rental car insurance, there is one important thing to check. Are rental cars covered under your car insurance? Some insurance companies and policies do cover rental cars in the same way that your car at home is covered. If you choose not to go the rental car insurance route, you’ll want to be sure you have a policy that does cover a rental car. However, there is a downside to using your insurance over the rental company’s. If you decline the offer to add rental car insurance because your insurance covers it, it simply means that your insurance will kick in first. The negative effect of this is that with your insurance you will be required to pay a deductible, but with the rental company’s insurance you will not.

Employment in Austrailia in 2011

Continuing the trend from the end of 2010, 2011 is proving to be a better year for the Australian workforce. More than 300,000 people are now employed since March 2010, with a .5% decline in unemployment throughout the entire country. Even better, signs show that things may be improving even more in the upcoming year, with more than 5,000 fewer unemployed people since last month alone. However, there are many that are still left unemployed or underemployed, more than 593,000.

If you are one of the thousands that are unemployed or even underemployed, there is still hope. If Australia continues to follow national trends, you will begin to find more opportunities in your area soon, especially in Melbourne. If you find a temp agency Melbourne or recruitment agency Melbourne, this process is likely to be not only faster but much easier as well. The economic situation appears to be improving month by month, and in the next few months a temp agency will be especially helpful, as traditionally the spring and summer months show decreased unemployment rates.

Remember in April 2010, we saw the winter unemployment rates thaw and drop dramatically. It seems probable that we will see a similar result this year, especially thanks to work found at temp agencies. We have already seen substantial employment growth since, and that growth shows no sign of stopping so far. Australia may be headed for a summer of the lowest unemployment rates that we’ve seen since the start of the recession. If you are still unemployed, this is a great time to increase your search efforts and seek out a temp agency or recruitment agency, as you may be in for the kind of luck that Australian workers haven’t seen in quite a while. 2011 just might be your year if you play your cards right!
