[Idyllchat] Travel Insurance

[Sonny Culverhouse]

Pete, I'm sure that you've already been in touch with the idyll staffers 
about this; what is their response?  I recall them having some advice to us 
when we made our Bavarian Castle untour this June re some special provision 
in their contract with Travel Insured re auto insurance.

Also, as we were checking out our car at Avis in Munich, when I got to the 
insurance part of the contract, the agent told me that I shouldn't waste my 
money on that, that I should use it to just enjoy ourselves.  Based on 
whatever idyll as well as the Avis clerk advised, I declined more 
insurance.  It seems to me that it was very expensive and would have only 
covered the 900+ euros deductible.    .............sonny
