THE AWESOME POWER OF TAKING ACTION
THE AWESOME POWER OF TAKING ACTION? 2000 I've always known how important it is to have goals. And that once you have a written goal you must take some action towards achieving it. I just didn't expect to have it pointed out to me so graphically as the day I started to feel a little less than confident about my car!I'd better start at the beginning. For a while now, the car has needed some work done on it. After all, it's isn't getting any younger and I've been starting to feel a vague dissatisfaction about it.
One day, my husband and I were out for a drive. We'd just been through a very bad time with our business and were listening to something motivational on tape to buoy ourselves up. This specific tape once again stressed that there are no limits to what we can be, have or do if we just make the decision.No limits? REALLY? O.K. then, why not have a Mercedes!Since we were out for a drive anyway, we took a small detour over to the local Mercedes dealer. Oh boy! there were some great cars there! A couple of older models really caught my eye and I could see that we could indeed plan on owning a Mercedes some day, and who knows - maybe sooner than we think! We drove home wondering how to make it a reality.The next morning we woke up to find that our car had been stolen out of the apartment parking lot during the night.
Our car gone? This only happens to other people!The insurance company paid for a rental car - and of course, they didn't have a small one available and upgraded us to luxury model - wonderful! Since our car was one that was a popular choice for thieves our insurance company decide to wait only two weeks before making a settlement - and it turned out to be an excellent settlement due to a top-of-the-line paint job we'd had done not too long ago.We got our settlement on a Friday and on Saturday morning we found the perfect car - newer, of a higher quality and in superb condition! - which we were able to negotiate for the exact settlement price. The following Thursday we took possession of our new car and proudly drove it off the lot....And we knew without a doubt that THIS was our "Mercedes". We had made our goal come true through desire and action!The next evening we got a phone call from the local police - they had found our stolen car!.
Should I Buy Rental Car Insurance?
Rental car agencies have a menu of insurance policies they would like to sell you. While each policy could be of some benefit under the right circumstances, you should review each plan (its provisions, limitations, and exclusions) before making a purchase. It is a good idea to request the detailed information from an agent at the rental office, as most companies only provide a summary on their Web sites. Keep in mind; you may not need to buy this additional car insurance because you have auto insurance from your own car insurance company. Generally speaking, when you rent a car, the liability coverage limits you have in your own auto insurance policy remain in effect with the same limits.
In addition, the comprehensive and collision coverages you have in your own auto insurance policy remain in effect with the same deductibles. You do have comprehensive and collision coverage don't you? See our article, "How Much Car Insurance Should You Buy?" for a listing of coverage types and...

Things to remember when renting a car
Renting a car can be a nice thing to do on your vacation, a way to treat yourself on a long weekend, or a necessity for work. In any cast, saving money on car rentals is always nice, too! Here are 5 things you need to do to save money the next time you have to rent a car:
1. Call around. The car rental industry is a price-driven industry and unless you're traveling to a place that has a shortage of cars because of a special event, you will usually be able to find a low-cost provider as well as two or three other major companies willing to beat the low-cost provider's price. Spending ten minutes on the phone up-front could save you a lot of money on your rental.
2. Check with your insurance company or your credit card company to make sure that you are covered for the rental car. Be sure to clarify that you are using it for a retail-style rental since some companies automatically cover you if it is for replacement purposes while your car is in the shop. <...

How To Rent A Car
Traveling to places far could be part of your job description. However, transportation could be a problem for you once you do find yourself somewhere far away from your beloved vehicle. Of course, we all know that you simply cannot drive nor have your car shipped to your next location just because you would like to. Sometimes the distance could be just too much trouble for you.
