Thanks for the disclosure Fred. Good example of putting your insurance dollars in the right place.

Because I am a CSA employee, I want to be careful not to come across as promoting our product but one attribute I really like is our rental car damage coverage. Recently I purchased our FreeStyle policy to cover my family of four for a 12-day trip to Hawaii. We were renting a car for the stay so I checked out the Avis website to price their collision damage waiver. Avis was charging $23.99 per day (average city seemed to be about $14 per day). Cost to insure my $3,000 trip with CSA was $149 and I would have taken the rental collision damage waiver were it not for my FreeStyle plan. So, with the savings on Avis CDW, the insurance premium was paid for after 6 days – and I had access to all the other coverages. The other (subtle) benefit of the CSA rental car coverage (and presumably that of other travel insurers) is that CSA is “primary” meaning that claims don’t affect your auto/home insurance rates.
