Every time I go to rent a car, there seems to be a wider range of add-ons to the rental fee and boy, do they add up! I'd like some feedback on which of these Enterprise "Protection Products" forum members buy and why (or why not). I always get the full "zero excess" waiver - and I understand tire and windshield protection.
But what about the others listed below? For example, why does a customer need both Excess Reduction and Theft Protection? Don't they both cover theft of the vehicle? And don't Damage Waiver and Excess Reduction seem to overlap?
Damage Waiver: ("reduces the renter's liability in the event of damage the vehicle when no responsible third party is identified")
Excess Reduction: ("reduces the applicable excess in the event of damage or theft of the vehicle when no responsible third party is identified")
Theft Protection: ("covers the rented vehicle against total theft with a deductible amount")
