can someone please explain the whole rental car operation?
i'm from the UK and was wondering what all these "waivers" are that people speak of. when i go on my road trip i want to be FULLY covered in the case of...well anything! e.g. theft, damage etc

what would i be normally covered by and what extra coverage should i get and how do i get it? i have read that a lot of people think that the rental car places try to sell you things you don't really need.

many thanks
