    Hi Mro,
    On <Thu, 24 Jul 24>, you wrote me:

    they make you get insurance or they fine you to infinity if their
    piece of shit truck is damaged or if you have problems.

    I drove a car in England this summer, first time driving on the
    left-hand side. I bought the comprehensive insurance, and when I told
    the agent it was my first time driving over there, he told me "if you
    can get all of the bits and bobs to roll back here, it's all good..."

    how big is the deposit?
    i'm already paying a LOT in rental fees.

    Very low. I think around 300-500 EUR when renting a 14m³ van.

    so since you say deposit, do they get it back?
    or is that the rental cost.

    So, do you just not understand how to quote some context from the
    message you are replying to, or... do you just *choose* to not do it?

    Yes, you get it back, unless you damage the car or whatever (in which case damages get paid from the deposit).

    I think it is no coincidence the deposit is about as much as the typical insurance franchise buffer.
