After a bit of help please as getting conflicting advise. I am doing a Virgin flydrive with Alamo and only took the basic insurance out as had been advised it was cheaper to get the excess and CDW insurance from an independent company here. However, have also read that it isn't a good idea and that some car hire companies do not recognise/accept any insurance other than their own. Is there anyone on here that has taken out other insurance? And maybe any that have and have had any experience claiming on it of needed? I've driven in Florida several times and so far, not had any car problems. Any advise would be gratefully received! Thank you!
