Do not rent full-size, premium, luxury, or SUV category vehicles when you are traveling alone and always refuel the car before returning to avoid the premium fees that the car rental vendor charges to refuel. Don’t be fooled by seemingly lower Internet rates for car rentals. Though Yale is self-insured on domestic rentals, accidents occurring when driving these vehicles can be extremely costly to the university and your department. The preferred supplier rates offered through Orbitz for Business include the collision damage and supplemental liability insurance on domestic rentals and save thousands of dollars in accident claim payments and deductibles.
